How to apply Lawn Kickstart
Prep your lawn and pouch
Water your lawn at least 2 hours before application if the soil is dry.
Shake the pouch. Then remove the cap and attach the sprayer nozzle.
Attach your hose
Hook up your hose to the sprayer nozzle. Then turn on the water and open the valve to spray.
Spray it on
Aim for a light, even coat of nutrients across the entire coverage area, doubling back for an additional coat if needed. A full pouch should take about 10–15 minutes to apply.

Lawn Kickstart FAQs
What if I miss an application?
Don't worry! You can apply Lawn Kickstart before or after your scheduled date. Just ensure you wait at least one week between fertilizer applications to prevent overapplication.
How do I use Lawn Kickstart with other Sunday products?
Lawn Kickstart is made to work with Sunday plans and products. For best results, apply Lawn Kickstart according to your custom plan schedule.
When using multiple Sunday products:
- Let liquid fertilizers, like Lawn Kickstart, dry completely before applying anything else
- For best results, use in combination with weed control and grass seed for a comprehensive lawn care approach. You can apply in any order, but we recommend weeding, feeding, then seeding.
When should I stop fertilizing?
Typically, cool-season lawns should stop fertilizing in fall (between late September and mid-October) or when temperatures cool and grass growth slows.
Warm-season lawns can apply lawn fertilizer until temperatures cool and grass growth slows later into the fall.
How and where do I store products?
Store upright with the cap tightly closed. Avoid excessive heat or freezing temperatures. Pouches can be stored for reuse, but shake well before each use for best results.
