Maintaining a healthy and visually appealing lawn significantly enhances your home’s curb appeal. Our specialized 7-step Lawn Care Program is meticulously designed for this region, effectively combating weeds and promoting a beautifully vibrant lawn throughout the seasons.
Our comprehensive 7-step program commences as the grip of winter loosens, generally around mid-February annually, and extends until approximately mid-November. The precise timing of each application is carefully adjusted based on the specific weather patterns characteristic of each season, ensuring optimal effectiveness.
Built upon years of dedicated experience and lawn care expertise, our program is engineered to deliver exceptional results for your lawn. We are committed to helping you achieve the rich color and robust weed control you desire for a thriving outdoor space.
Lush green lawn achieved with a professional 7-step lawn care program, showcasing healthy turf and weed-free grass.
Round 1: Early Spring Kick-off
Starting strong, our initial application is a high-nitrogen fertilizer combined with pre-emergent crabgrass control and broadleaf weed control. This crucial first step aids your lawn in recovering from winter dormancy, accelerating its green-up process, and establishing a robust barrier against crabgrass germination in the soil.
Round 2: Sustained Spring Green and Weed Defense
Our second application provides a further boost of balanced fertilizer to sustain vibrant green color and promote healthy growth as spring progresses. We reinforce weed control efforts and apply a second layer of crabgrass preventative to ensure comprehensive protection during the peak germination period.
Round 3: Early Summer Weed and Nutsedge Management
As we transition into summer, we adjust the fertilizer application rate to suit warmer temperatures. This phase emphasizes proactive weed control, specifically targeting emerging weeds like nutsedge (often referred to as watergrass) which becomes prevalent during this time of year.
Round 4: Peak Summer Weed Suppression
During the heat of summer, our focus remains on diligent weed control, including persistent nutsedge and other heat-tolerant weeds. This application ensures your lawn stays clean and healthy even under stressful summer conditions, maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
Round 5: Late Summer Recovery Boost
As summer begins to recede, your lawn requires support to recover from summer stresses. We increase the fertilizer levels to revitalize turf health and continue targeted control of broadleaf weeds and nuisance grasses that may have emerged over the summer months.
Round 6: Fall Revitalization and Preparation
This application further aids lawn recovery with another application of high-nitrogen fertilizer and weed control, typically applied in September. This is also the ideal time to consider beneficial lawn care practices like aeration and overseeding, which help repair summer damage and prepare your turf for the cooler months ahead, promoting thicker, healthier growth.
Round 7: Winter Nutrient Infusion
Our final fertilizer application before winter provides your grass with essential nutrients to endure the dormant season. The grass roots absorb and store these vital nutrients, providing a reservoir of energy that the lawn can access in the spring, facilitating a faster green-up and lush growth as temperatures rise again.
