Infrequent Fertilizing. Some lawns contain slower-growing grasses that require less frequent mowing or watering. If the clippings are removed, depriving the lawn of the nutrients provided by their breakdown, the lawn will require fertilization twice a year. Applications are recommended for August and mid-October.
Fertilizer Frequency. According to the University of California, lawns should be fertilized about four times a year. The total amount of nitrogen lawns need to grow is typically divided into four applications of 1/2 to 1 pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet of lawn per application.
