| Step 1 |
Includes the 1st of two
crabgrass pre-emergent treatments, and a balanced slow release
fertilizer application. |
| Step 2 |
As the weather continues to warm up, we make a
visit to clear out any broadleaf weeds
present. This application is designed to control both mature weeds
and those that have recently emerged . A
balanced slow release fertilizer is also applied. Also a
second Crabgrass pre-emergent application is made to high
pressure border areas. If GRUB CONTROL was included in your package, it will also be applied at this time . |
| Step 3 |
In late Spring/early summer your
lawn receives a complete balanced feeding with slow
release fertilizer. The slow release nature of
this feeding allows your lawn to continue to safely receive nutrients during hot dry periods. Weather permitting, we also do a spot treatment of any weeds found. |
| Step 4 |
Our late Summer slow release feeding provides your lawn with the nutrients it needs to transition from it's Summer dormancy to recovery and renewed vigor in the Fall. Weeds are again spot treated at this time if conditions permit. |
| Step 5 |
In the Fall, we provide a heavier feeding (still slow release) including micro-nutrients at a time when grass is shifting away from heavy top growth and toward root buildup. Any weeds including Fall germinating weeds are cleared out at this time. Also, we will begin performing CORE-AERATION service during this time if you requested this highly beneficial service in your package. |
| Step 6 |
The final application is also the heaviest feeding of the season. It is carefully timed to occur around the last mowing. This feeding is aimed directly at maximizing benefits to the root system. Benefits include green color later into Fall with no additional mowing needed and a stronger healthier root system. Stored nutrients also provide a nice greenup the following Spring with less fertilizer needed to aggravate mowing conditions. |
