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 

Common Drainage Issues

Poor drainage can cause standing water, soggy lawn conditions, soil erosion, and water collecting near your home’s foundation. Left unaddressed, these issues damage your landscape and can threaten the structural integrity of your property over time.

Sump pump discharge and gutter discharge is a common source of the problem. When water is discharged directly into the yard, the force and volume can quickly create muddy, unusable areas and accelerate erosion across your lawn.

Our Yard Drainage Solutions

  • Downspout Drain Systems: We bury downspouts using PVC piping to safely carry water away from your home and foundation.
  • Sump Pump Drain Lines: We can tie into and bury sump pump discharge lines to move water away from the home and prevent saturated areas in the yard.
  • Catch Basin Systems: Ideal for low-lying areas where water collects, catch basins capture and redirect water away from problem areas.
  • French Drain Systems: French drains are designed to move water through the ground using perforated piping surrounded by stone, helping relieve water buildup and prevent saturation in key areas.
  • Grading & Water Flow Correction: Proper grading is essential for effective drainage.

Our landscape drainage specialists will reshape and grade your property to ensure water flows naturally away from structures and problem areas, reducing long-term issues.
