Our 7-Step Program

Round 1 - Early March

An early dose of slow-release fertilizer provides essential nutrients, plus crabgrass pre-emergent is applied. Timing is crucial to effectively prevent and control crabgrass for the season.

A second application of crabgrass pre-emergent plus fertilizer is applied to extend control into the summer months.

At this time, we also blanket spray the lawn for broadleaf weeds killing them before they’re ever visible to clean up any early season growth

These rounds are completed together during the same visit.

  • Application of a slow-release early summer fertilizer
  • Spot treatment of any visible broadleaf or grassy weeds
  • Application of grub control at optimal timing to protect the lawn from insect damage
  • Nutsedge control is available as an add-on to your treatment program, particularly following a wet season.
Application of an organic, non-burning fertilizer along with a humic soil conditioner to improve soil health. During this visit, we actively monitor for any signs of these weeds and treat as needed with post-emergent applications:
  • Broadleaf weeds
  • Crabgrass breakthrough
Nutsedge control is available as an add-on to your treatment program, particularly following a wet season.

As summer heat breaks, this is the ideal time for aeration and overseeding.

  • Thorough aeration 
  • Overseeding with approximately 5 lbs of premium tall fescue per 1,000 sq ft 
  • Additional seed applied in thinner or bare areas 
  • Starter fertilizer applied to promote germination 

For customers not selecting aeration and overseeding:

  • A fall slow-release fertilizer is applied 
  • Spot treatment of weeds is performed 

Application of a winterizer fertilizer to prepare the lawn for winter.

This lawn care fertilizer service helps:

  • Store nutrients in the root system 
  • Promote a stronger, healthier lawn coming out of dormancy in the spring 

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN YOUR SPRING CLEANUP

Our spring cleanup service removes leaves, sticks, acorns, nuts, and other debris that have accumulated over the winter. We also trim low-hanging tree branches as needed, cut back dormant ornamental grasses and perennials, trim shrubs and bushes, pull weeds from lawn and landscape beds, and clear debris throughout your property.

If you want your yard looking its best heading into winter, ask us about our fall cleanup services as well.

Lawn & Landscape Preparation

We take the time to properly prepare your property for the season by:

  • Clearing out all leftover winter debris
  • Cleaning and redefining landscape bed areas
  • Optional cultivation of mulch beds to refresh appearance and improve soil condition

Weed Prevention Options

We can also apply spring pre-emergent treatments to both lawn and landscape beds to help prevent weeds from germinating early in the season.
