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 blanket application is
designed to control both mature weeds and those that have
recently emerged and are still unnoticed. 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 your lawn receives a complete
balanced feeding with slow release fertilizer, and 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. |
