    Right balance of nutrients for established lawns

    By Nj on 04/17/2020

    Keep your lawn and its roots optimally healthy by maintaining the proper nutrient level of your soil from spring to fall. My lawn stays green with healthy roots that don't cause my lawn to dry in the summer.

    Excellent delivery

    By Joel on 05/15/2020

    I was concerned that shipping a bag of fertlizer would be catastrophic, however the 50 pound bag arrived neatly packaged in a box that had very little shipping wear. I will definitely consider DoMyOwn again next time I need any products that DoMyOwn sells.

    Anderson's is mostly what I use on my bermudagrass lawn

    By Iggy on 08/28/2020

    Just perfect for our turf-height (and higher) Bermudagrass lawn in South Atlanta. What I love even more about DoMyOwn is that virtually every product has the label and SDS (Safety Data Sheet) in PDF with each product and that makes it so nice for being able to take a deep dive into ingredients, mixing proportions, application, etc.
