7-Step Lawn Care Program Breakdown
Round 1: Early Spring Kick-Off
Starting strong, our first application features a high-nitrogen fertilizer combined with pre-emergent crabgrass and broadleaf weed control. This crucial step helps your lawn recover swiftly from winter dormancy, promoting rapid greening and establishing a barrier against crabgrass germination in the soil.
Round 2: Spring Green-Up and Weed Defense
Our second application continues to nourish your lawn with essential fertilizer, sustaining its vibrant green and healthy growth. We reinforce weed control and apply a second layer of crabgrass preventative to ensure comprehensive protection as the growing season advances.
Round 3: Early Summer Weed and Nutsedge Management
As temperatures rise heading into summer, we carefully reduce the fertilizer rate to prevent stress on your lawn. The focus shifts to targeted weed control, specifically addressing emerging weeds and beginning treatment for nutsedge, a common summer lawn nuisance.
Round 4: Sustained Summer Weed Control
During the peak summer heat, we maintain consistent weed control, including continued management of nutsedge (often referred to as watergrass). This application ensures your lawn remains weed-free and healthy even under challenging summer conditions.
Round 5: Late Summer Recovery Boost
As summer draws to a close, your turf requires support to recover from summer stresses. We increase the fertilizer levels to revitalize your lawn and continue to actively control broadleaf weeds and other unwanted grasses that may have appeared.
Round 6: Fall Revitalization and Preparation
This application further aids lawn recovery with another round of high-nitrogen fertilizer and robust weed control. Typically applied in September, this is also the ideal time to consider aeration and overseeding services. Aeration and overseeding are vital for repairing summer damage and promoting thicker, healthier turf as you move into the fall season.
Round 7: Winter Nourishment
Our final fertilizer application before winter provides your grass with the vital nutrients it needs to endure the colder months. The grass roots effectively absorb and store these nutrients, providing a crucial reserve. In the spring, your lawn will tap into these stored nutrients, resulting in a faster green-up and a lush, vibrant start to the new growing season.
