The Anderson's Turf Fertilizer 16-4-8, manufactured by the Andersons, is a professional dust-free fertilizer that keeps turf vigorous, healthy, and ready to handle whatever the season throws at it.
But what sets this fertilizer apart is its dual nitrogen source. The nitrogen in The Anderson’s 16-4-8 formulation is both readily available (for fast green-up) and slowly available (for sustained feeding). That means you get immediate results without the risk of a big flush of growth that quickly fades. Instead, your grass gets steady nutrition over time. It’s dust-free, free-flowing, and uniform, making it easy to apply and reliable in results.
The Anderson's Turf Fertilizer 16-4-8 is a balanced granular turf fertilizer that provides fast results without sacrificing long-term turf health. With its balanced NPK ratio, dual nitrogen release, and professional-grade formulation, it provides everything turf needs to grow stronger, greener, and more resilient.
Tools Needed
You will need a push or broadcast spreader.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much The Anderson's Turf Fertilizer 16-4-8 to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area.

- Step 2: Calibrate your spreader to the proper setting, then load the product.
