4 Step Lawn Care Program
Our comprehensive Lawn Care Program is designed to keep your lawn healthy, green, and resilient throughout the year. With targeted treatments and expert care, we address your lawn’s needs in every season, from early spring growth to fall preparation.
Spring Renewal & Crabgrass Control
This initial treatment helps your lawn recover from winter dormancy, providing essential nutrients to encourage lush, green growth. We also apply a specialized pre-emergent treatment to control crabgrass before it becomes an issue. As temperatures rise and soil warms, crabgrass seeds begin to germinate—this step proactively targets these early growth stages, making it easier to manage crabgrass before it matures.
Keep in mind that crabgrass prevention is effective for about 2-3 months, depending on weather conditions and soil disturbance.
Growth Stimulation & Broadleaf Weed Control
This treatment replenishes nitrogen levels in your lawn, promoting healthy growth and vibrant color. During this step, we also apply a liquid broadleaf weed control to eliminate troublesome weeds like dandelions, keeping your lawn thick and healthy.
By keeping your lawn well-watered and regularly groomed, it becomes more resistant to weed growth. A healthy lawn is the best defense against both weeds and disease. Our team also targets more persistent weeds, such as clover, wild violet, and purslane, ensuring comprehensive care.
Summer Strengthening & Weed Management
This mid-summer application uses a slow-release fertilizer to maintain steady growth and resilience during the hot, dry months. The fertilizer contains iron and essential micronutrients, which help keep your lawn healthy, thick, and less prone to heat stress or dormancy during dry spells.
We also conduct a thorough lawn inspection and provide spot treatment for hard-to-control weeds such as spurge, plantain, clover, and wild violet. By targeting these persistent weeds, we help your lawn remain weed-free and thriving through the toughest part of the season.
Fall Fortification for Winter
This step is crucial for helping your lawn prepare for the cold months ahead. The winterizing fertilizer encourages deep root growth, allowing your lawn to absorb and store nutrients needed during winter dormancy. This ensures a healthier, greener lawn when spring returns.
Early fall is also the perfect time for aeration, overseeding, and reseeding. Filling in bare spots now will help prevent weeds from establishing in those areas next year, leading to a thicker, more vibrant lawn. If you’ve recently planted new grass, be sure to mark it, as certain treatments may hinder its growth.
Grub & Insect Preventer
Step 5 is an optional but highly recommended treatment that helps protect your lawn from damaging pests like grubs and insects. Applied in June or July, this preventative treatment targets grubs in their early stages when they are most vulnerable, preventing them from damaging your grass roots. It also controls a variety of lawn insects that can weaken and destroy your turf.
By taking action during this key period, you can safeguard your lawn against pests and avoid costly repairs from turf damage later in the season.

For liquid treatments, wait 24-48 hours before mowing. For granular treatments, we recommend waiting 2-3 days to ensure the product has fully absorbed into your lawn.
Yes, it's best to mow 2-3 days before any lawn treatment. This helps ensure that the treatment reaches the soil more effectively.
For liquid treatments, it's important to stay off the lawn for at least 4 hours to allow it to dry. For granular treatments, you can use your lawn right away.
For granular treatments, water your lawn thoroughly right after the application. For spray (liquid) treatments, wait 24-48 hours before watering to allow the treatment to take full effect.
No, mowing crabgrass does not kill it. In fact, mowing can cause crabgrass to grow flatter and wider, making it harder to eliminate. Crabgrass continues producing seeds until winter or until it is properly treated. Each plant can produce over 150,000 seeds per year, so it's crucial to address crabgrass early to prevent bigger issues the following season.
No, leaving grass clippings on your lawn is actually beneficial. Grass clippings decompose quickly and return valuable nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to the soil, helping your lawn stay healthy and strong.
No, cutting your grass too short can stress it and lead to more problems. Mowing too short makes your lawn more vulnerable to weeds and slows its recovery. It's best to keep your grass at 2½-3 inches and avoid removing more than 1/3 of its height during each mow.
No, daily watering isn't necessary. Your lawn only needs about 1-1½ inches of water per week. It's better to water deeply once a week rather than shallow watering every day, which can weaken your lawn’s root system.
No, providing minimal water during a drought can harm your lawn. If water restrictions prevent proper watering, it's best to let your grass go dormant. Dormant grass may turn brown, but it will recover once it rains.
Yes, your lawn needs fertilizer. While nature supports growth, your lawn is not in a natural environment. Regular mowing depletes nutrients, so fertilizer is essential to restore your lawn’s health.
No, spiked shoes are not effective for aerating compacted soil. Proper aeration requires removing soil plugs, which improves air, water, and nutrient absorption. Core aeration is the best method for promoting healthy root growth.
No, fall is the best time to seed your lawn. Planting grass in the fall allows it to establish strong roots before winter, ensuring healthier growth in the spring.
