Coppell Lawn Fertilizer Schedule

For Bermuda lawns in Coppell, four feedings per year hits the sweet spot. More than that wastes money. Less than that leaves you thin.

February — Pre-emergent

Not a fertilizer per se, but the most important early-season treatment. A pre-emergent applied in mid-to-late February stops crabgrass before it germinates.

April — First feeding

A balanced 15-5-10 (or similar) once the lawn has fully greened up. Wait until you have mowed twice — applying too early just feeds weeds.

June — Summer feeding

A slow-release 16-4-8 to push growth through the heat. Avoid heavy nitrogen if temperatures are above 95F.

September — Fall feeding

A 13-13-13 or 12-4-8 to help the lawn recover from summer stress and store carbohydrates for winter dormancy.

Skip November-January

Dormant Bermuda does not absorb nutrients. Save your money.

How much per application

Follow the bag — usually 4-5 lbs per 1,000 sq ft. Use a broadcast spreader, walk in a grid pattern, and water in lightly after.
