Coppell Lawn Fertilizer Schedule (Bermuda)
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.
