Lawn Fertilization in Oregon

A consistent feeding program is what separates a thick, deep-green Oregon lawn from a thin, weed-prone one. Timing each application to the grass and season — not the calendar alone — is the key. Oregon's wet winters and dry summers suit tall fescue and perennial ryegrass.

A Oregon fertilization schedule

For Oregon's grasses (tall fescue and perennial ryegrass in most areas, with Bermuda in hot inland valleys), feed in spring and fall, with a light summer feeding. Never fertilize a dormant lawn. A soil test every couple of years tells you exactly what your yard needs and prevents wasted product.

Organic vs. synthetic

Organic fertilizers release slowly, build the soil over time, and are low-burn and safer around kids and pets; synthetics green up faster but don't improve the soil. Many homeowners run a hybrid program — and "organic lawn fertilizer" is a common request for family- and pet-friendly yards.

Weed control

A thick, healthy lawn is the best defense against weeds. Pair fertilization with a pre-emergent applied in late winter to early spring to stop crabgrass and other annuals before they germinate, and spot-treat broadleaf weeds as they appear.
