Crabgrass Preventer with Fertilizer

What it does:
Our crabgrass preventer with fertilizer is a granular fertilizer combined with a pre-emergent herbicide designed to help reduce the first stage germination of crabgrass and other early-season weeds.

Purpose & Benefit:
Preventing weeds before they emerge allows your lawn to develop stronger roots and thicker turf. This reduces competition for nutrients and water, leading to a healthier lawn and fewer issues later in the season.

When it’s performed:
Late March through late April, weather permitting. Timing is critical for maximum effectiveness.

2nd Step Crabgrass Preventor, Grub Control & Fertilizer

What it does:
Applies a granular fertilizer combined with a second-stage crabgrass preventer and a preventative grub control treatment to protect your lawn during a critical growth period.

Purpose & Benefit:
This application builds on the early spring treatment by targeting later-stage crabgrass germination while also preventing grub activity before it begins. At the same time, fertilizer supports continued growth and strengthens the root system, helping your lawn remain dense and resilient. This layered approach ensures your lawn is protected both above and below the surface as the season progresses.

When it’s performed:
Mid May through mid June, depending on weather and soil conditions.

Summer Hydro-Blend Fertilizer with Lime

What it does:
Applies a custom-blended granular fertilizer combined with a wetting agent and lime to support lawn health during the summer months.

Purpose & Benefit:
This application is designed to help your lawn manage heat and environmental stress. The fertilizer provides essential nutrients, the wetting agent improves water absorption during dry conditions, and lime helps balance soil pH for better nutrient uptake.

Because summer conditions can vary, this blend is carefully adjusted as needed—ensuring your lawn receives the most appropriate treatment based on current weather and soil conditions.

This flexible approach allows us to respond to real-time conditions rather than applying a one-size-fits-all treatment.

When it’s performed:
Typically early summer, depending on weather patterns and seasonal conditions.

Fall Hydro-Blend Fertilizer with Lime

What it does:
Applies a custom-blended granular fertilizer with lime and a wetting agent to support root development and improve soil conditions following summer stress.

Purpose & Benefit:
Fall is one of the most important times to strengthen your lawn. This application promotes deeper root growth, improves overall turf health, and helps your lawn recover from summer heat.

Lime is incorporated into our seasonal blends to help maintain balanced soil pH over time, allowing your lawn to better absorb nutrients throughout the year. The wetting agent supports proper water movement through the soil, helping nutrients reach the root zone more effectively.

Like our summer treatment, this blend is adjusted as needed based on current conditions, ensuring your lawn receives the most effective combination of nutrients.

This application is especially beneficial when paired with aeration, as it allows nutrients to reach the root zone more effectively and supports thicker, healthier turf.

When it’s performed:
Typically late summer through early fall, often following aeration when performed. Timing depends on weather and lawn conditions.

Winter Fertilizer with Lime

What it does:
Applies a custom winter fertilizer blended with lime late in the fall or early winter. This formulation supports the lawn’s root system during dormancy and improves spring performance.

Purpose & Benefit:
Winter fertilizer provides nutrients (slow-release nitrogen and potassium) that roots can use during dormancy to build energy reserves. This strengthens the lawn for stress tolerance and helps it green up faster and more uniformly in spring. Adding extra lime balances soil pH, enhancing nutrient availability and overall soil health through the winter months.

What to expect:
Because this application focuses on root feeding rather than leaf growth, you may not notice immediate color changes. Lawns that receive winter fertilization with lime typically show earlier and healthier green-up in spring compared with lawns that skip this step.

When it’s performed:
Late fall to early winter, after above-ground growth slows but before soil freezes. Timing depends on local weather conditions.

Recommended Options to Enhance Your Lawn
These services are highly recommended for most lawns and can significantly improve turf health, density, and resilience. While aeration and overseeding are often performed annually, topdressing is most effective when combined with aeration for optimal results.

Services & Benefits:

• Aeration & Overseeding: Relieves soil compaction and strengthens turf while filling in thin or bare spots. Supports healthy roots, thicker turf, and improved resilience.

• Topdressing with Compost: Applies a layer of nutrient-rich compost to level the lawn, improve soil structure, and enhance root growth. When performed with aeration, it maximizes seed-to-soil contact and promotes strong germination.

What to expect:
Aeration may leave small soil plugs on the lawn, which naturally break down typically after the first mowing. Topdressing spreads a thin layer of compost that helps retain moisture, improves nutrient availability, and supports seed germination. Combined, these services create a healthier, more resilient lawn.

When it’s performed:
Typically in the fall, though spring applications may be recommended depending on your lawn’s needs and conditions.
