Lawn Health & Care

Fertilization

Our program of five applications includes fertilizer, crabgrass and pre-emergent weed control, post-emergent weed control, grub control, surface insect control and limestone. To be effective, all fertilizers need to be watered properly.

1. April: Custom blend of fertilizer with pre-emergent weed control.
2. May: The grub control is applied at this time. Spot spray weed control is applied as needed. A fertilizer with a slow-release rate of nitrogen is applied.
3. June & July: Custom blend of fertilizer with pre-emergent weed control.
4. August: A fertilizer with a high rate of nitrogen is applied to take advantage of the excellent growing season. Spot spray weed control is applied as needed.
5. September & October: Custom blend of fertilizer to encourage and enhance root development. At this time, Limestone may be required to correct the pH level of the soil.
