The Andersons DGL Dark Green Lawn 25-0-0 Fertilizer — 18 lb, Quick-Release Nitrogen, Covers 5,000 sq ft

The Andersons Professional DGL Dark Green Lawn 25-0-0 is a professional-grade, quick-release nitrogen fertilizer formulated to feed up to 5,000 sq ft with extremely fine particles for uniform coverage.

Formulated for turf managers, landscapers, and homeowners who want fast, even greening without iron, this 18-pound bag delivers a concentrated nitrogen boost in a finely milled granule. The updated DGL formula focuses on all quick-release nitrogen to give turf an immediate push, while the very small particle size helps reduce streaking from spreaders and improves distribution across lawns, sports fields, and commercial properties. Made in the USA, the product is versatile enough to supplement other fertilizer programs or be applied on its own at light rates.

How quickly will this fertilizer green my lawn?

Because the nitrogen in this mix is all quick-release, you can expect visible greening within days under ideal growing conditions. Results depend on turf health, soil temperature, and moisture—warm, watered turf responds fastest. For best results, water lightly after application to help granules begin dissolving.

• All quick-release nitrogen for rapid color response
• Visible improvement typically within days in warm, actively growing turf
• Light watering after application accelerates uptake
• Use during active growth seasons when turf is ready to absorb nutrients

Will the fine particle size reduce patchy coverage?

The Andersons DGL Dark Green Lawn fertilizer is milled to an extremely fine particle size to promote even spread and limit clumping. This minimizes streaking and banding when used with broadcast spreaders, producing a more uniform turf color and growth pattern. Fine particles also help small-coverage applications achieve predictable results.

• Very fine granules designed for even distribution
• Less streaking when applied with properly calibrated spreaders
• Better coverage on irregular or small areas compared to coarse blends
• Helpful for spot-feeding or supplemental applications

How should I apply it and what areas does one bag cover?

This 18 lb bag is formulated to cover approximately 5,000 square feet when applied at the label’s recommended rates. Use a calibrated broadcast or drop spreader for consistent application, and follow the package instructions for rate adjustments based on turf type and seasonal needs. Avoid applying to frozen ground and keep off hard surfaces to reduce runoff risk.

• Covers up to 5,000 sq ft per 18 lb bag at recommended rates
• Apply with broadcast or drop spreader and calibrate before use
• Do not apply to frozen or saturated soils; sweep off paved surfaces
• Can be used at lighter rates to supplement other fertilizers

Does this formula contain iron or slow-release nutrients?

No—this updated DGL formula does not include iron and contains only quick-release nitrogen. It’s intended as an immediate feed rather than a long-term slow-release program. If you require iron for deeper color or desire slower nutrient longevity, consider pairing this product with a complementary slow-release or iron-containing treatment.

• Updated formula excludes iron
• All quick-release nitrogen; not designed as a slow-release product
• Pairs well with slow-release fertilizers or iron supplements if desired
• Safe for all turf types when used as directed

Who is this for? The Andersons Professional DGL Dark Green Lawn 25-0-0 is aimed at landscapers, turf professionals, and homeowners who need a fast-acting nitrogen boost with excellent spreadability. Ideal for quick color recovery, spot treatment, or as a supplemental feed in existing fertility programs, it’s a practical choice when immediate greening and even coverage matter. Always read and follow label directions for application rates, timing, and safety precautions before use.
