- Early Spring (March-April): Pre-Emergent & Fertilizer
Kick off the season with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer and pre-emergent weed control to prevent crabgrass and other weeds from sprouting. This application helps your lawn recover from winter dormancy and establishes a healthy foundation for the season.
- Late Spring (May-June): Fertilization & Weed Control
As temperatures rise, apply a high-nitrogen fertilizer to promote healthy growth. We also target broadleaf weeds with a selective herbicide to ensure your lawn remains healthy and weed-free.
- Early Summer (June-July): Summer Fertilization
Apply a light, slow-release fertilizer to provide consistent nutrients through the summer months. This helps your lawn cope with heat stress and encourages deep root growth for improved drought resistance.
- Late Summer (August): Lawn Strengthening
A mid-season application of fertilizer with a focus on potassium helps your lawn build resistance to heat, drought, and disease. This treatment is essential for preparing your lawn for the upcoming cooler months.
- Early Fall (September): Fall Fertilization
As temperatures cool, a balanced fertilizer with an emphasis on phosphorus and potassium is applied to support root growth and prepare your lawn for winter. This encourages recovery from summer stress and ensures a strong root system.
- Late Fall (October-November): Winterizing Fertilizer
A winterizing fertilizer with higher potassium levels is applied to promote root development and enhance the lawn's ability to withstand cold temperatures. This helps the grass store nutrients for a strong start in the spring.
- Optional – Winter (December-February): Soil Conditioner (Optional)
For additional soil health, a winter application of organic soil conditioners or compost may be used to improve soil structure and prepare for the next season’s growth.
This seven-step program ensures that your cool-season turf receives the proper nutrients at each critical stage of the growing season, promoting lush, green growth while preventing weeds and managing lawn health.
