Lawn Fertilization and Weed Control Program

Our Lawn Care Treatment Outline

Treatments are applied approximately every 6 weeks from February to December.

Winter/Early Spring: Pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides are applied to control existing weeds and limit future weeds.

Late winter/Early Spring: Includes pre-emergent and post-emergent weed control plus fertilizer to give the turf a boost as it begins to enter the growing season ahead.

Spring: Weed control as needed and slow-release fertilizer so the grass doesn’t experience a rapid growth spurt.

Early Summer: Spot spraying of any remaining weeds in the turf and another dose of slow-release fertilizer to ensure the grass has all of the nutrients it needs.

Summer: Another spot spray to eliminate pesky weeds and a light fertilizer application so as to not burn the turf during the summer heat.

Late Summer: Slow-release fertilizer to help the lawn recover from the stress of the summer’s hot and dry climate.

Early Fall: Well-balanced fertilization in the fall provides the turf with everything it needs to prepare for the winter.  Any existing weeds are sprayed and pre-emergent herbicide is applied to control winter annuals.

Late fall/Early Winter: A heavy rate of fertilizer is applied for the lawn so it can store the nutrients over the winter months.
