We offer our Lawn Care Service Program that can work just for you:

Round 1: Applied Early Spring

Rejuvenate your lawn from the harsh winter with fertilizer and early weed control. At this time, we also balance the pH of the soil by doing a lime application.

In the beginning of spring, the goal of lawn care is to rejuvenate the lawn from the harsh cold weather of the winter. The best lawn care strategies to employ in the first weeks of spring are a fertilizer application and weed control as well as an application of lime to balance pH levels of the soil helping the grass absorb the nutrients that will be applied throughout the season. The lives of most insects do not begin this early in the season so it is wise to refrain from using any pesticides or insect control until later.

High-Nitrogen Slow-Release Fertilizer

Applying slow release fertilizer will help promote growth and a green healthy color. The best type of fertilizer to use in the early spring is a high nitrogen slow release fertilizer. This type of fertilizer is coated with a substance that allows the nutrients to be released over a long period of time. This promotes an even, long green up of the turf. 

Early, Effective Weed Control

The pre-emergent weed control is essential in the early season. Early, effective weed control will help keep your lawn free of weeds at this critical time of growth so it can make a stronger recovery. This chemical prevents most weeds from emerging at a critical time in your lawns growth. During the winter your lawn could have sustained damage and weak or bare spots are present in your lawn. These weak areas are mainly where new weeds will take root. With the early application of weed prevention, these weeds are stopped and your grass will fill in the weak or bare areas promoting a thicker, greener and healthier lawn.

Round 2: Applied Mid-Spring

Crab grass and other weed controls are applied along with a slow release fertilizer.

As spring moves forward in Bucks and Montgomery Counties, your lawn should be showing signs of recovery from the effects of winter. The focus of our lawn care services shifts from recovery to crabgrass and broadleaf weed prevention.

Crabgrass Prevention

Crabgrass is one of the most annoying weeds in the lawn and the best way to deal with it is with early prevention. By applying the crabgrass prevention chemicals early the germination of crabgrass will be prevented throughout the growing season. One crabgrass plant can produce over 150,000 seeds spreading the weed across your lawn!

Slow-Release Fertilizer

Along with the addition of crabgrass control, mid-spring lawn care should also maintain focus on slow-release fertilizer and weed control to continue the recovery and promote a strong and healthy root system. A healthy root system is a lawn’s best natural defense against weed growth and development and the continuation of slow-release fertilizer applications throughout the spring will help strengthen the root system to effectively fight off weeds all season and survive harsh summers.

Round 3: Applied Late Spring to Early Summer

Prepare your lawn for the harsh summer with a fertilizer application, insect control and a broad leaf weed spray to kill any unwanted weeds that may have appeared.

Throughout the spring, we have applied the necessary chemicals to have a strong and healthily lawn. By applying a low-nitrogen organic blend fertilizer in the early summer, the turf will be less susceptible to heat stress and drought of the summer. These fertilizers typically work by activating existing nutrients in the soil and they help the soil retain moisture to prevent topsoil erosion and heat stress.

Broadleaf Weed Control

The broadleaf weed control application is applied in a liquid form to ensure the weeds absorb the chemical and die. Some companies use a granular weed control which is ineffective and if the weather conditions are not correct the weeds will not absorb the chemical properly. Using a liquid selective herbicide we are able to target and destroy a broad spectrum of weeds with amazing results. The chemicals are absorbed from the foliage and root systems of the weeds and move throughout the plant shutting down the plants and killing them.

Grub Control

Grub control applications also start with our spring lawn care. Grubs are beetle larvae from a variety of different beetle species that begin their life cycle in July when beetles typically lay their eggs. The larvae hatch within 2 to 4 weeks and begin feeding on the lawn’s root system immediately upon hatching. Because the damage they cause is below the surface, effects from their damage typically do not show until later in the season after the harm has been done. 

Grub damage appears on the surface as dead and browning grass that can be easily peeled away because it has been severed from the roots. Grass that has been damaged by grubs usually does not recover and must be removed for the areas to be reseeded for new grass. It is wise to start applying grub control before the summer hits to prevent grubs from hatching and maturing in your lawn’s root system. If you wait for signs of grub damage before taking action, it will already be too late.

Round 4: Applied Late Summer to Early Fall

Help your lawn recover from the rough summer with another fertilizer application and kill any weeds that are still around.

As the summer fades into fall, the air becomes colder and drier, which means that lawn care practices have to be adjusted to accommodate for the changing weather and to start preparing your lawn for the winter. Granular fertilizers should be used once again in the fall to provide a steady food source for your recovering lawn. Broadleaf weed killer that helps kill any remaining weeds along with those pesky perennial weeds. The weed absorbs the chemical and sends it down to the roots killing it. This is especially the time to get rid of dandelions and other hard to kill broadleaf weeds.

Round 5: Mid- to Late Fall

Prepare you lawn for winter with a granular fertilizer.

The main purpose of the winter application is to prevent blades of grass from cracking or drying out in cold temperatures. The potassium in winter applications helps make grasses more tolerant of extreme temperatures and also optimizes the grass’s use of nitrogen. Nitrogen is important for color and the metabolic processes of plants and a lack of potassium in plants can cause discoloration due to dead leaf tissue. 

Importance of Potassium

Potassium is responsible for the plant’s use of water, which is crucial for color and overall health and good potassium levels promote green sturdy stems and deep roots which are more resistant to cold temperatures. The effects from high potassium winterizing fertilizers will help lawns endure the winter and look green and healthy the following spring.
