Fertilization & Weed Control Programs

A well-balanced lawn fertilization and weed control program is the key to achieving a thriving lawn. Most soils don’t have the proper nutrients to support a thick and healthy lawn. Annual lawn treatments promote a greener lawn in several ways.


The 4-step program is our standard fertilization and weed control program. It combines fertilization with crabgrass pre-emergent and broadleaf weed control treatments. Spring applications are necessary to establish healthy, weed-free growth. Fertilization treatments in the fall help your lawn recover from the stress of summer. It improves color, root structure and density, and helps it survive the winter so that it comes back stronger and fuller in the spring.

Early Spring: Pre-emergent/crabgrass/fertilizer/Broadleaf weed controlThis application prevents crabgrass seeds from germinating and invading your lawn in the summer

Early Summer: Fertilizer/Broadleaf weed control—This is a controlled release that feeds your lawn with weed control

Late Summer: Fertilizer/Broadleaf weed control—This application provides nutrients to help your lawn recover from the stress of summer

Early Fall: Fertilizer/Broadleaf weed control—This application encourages winter root growth and helps promote early spring growth

* An optional 5th step can be provided. In June we can apply an insecticide for grub control and lawn pests.
