Service Descriptions
Early Spring Treatment
This application consists of slow-release fertilizer with pre-emergent crabgrass control. If weather allows, this app is applied as early as the first week of March through mid-April…again, pending weather. Also, pending average temperatures, broadleaf weed control will be applied. Temperatures below 50-55 consistently may negatively affect weed control rendering it useless. At this time, we are generally treating weeds such as, Bittercress, Henbit and Dandelions. Typical timing of application is early March through mid-April. **If a customer does not get this application applied because of skipping or signing up late, we will be unable to guarantee the prevention of crabgrass. **
Late Spring Treatment
This application consists of slow-release fertilizer with pre-emergent crabgrass control and broadleaf weed control. Broadleaf weeds at this time are like the first application but will also include clover, chickweed among other broadleaf weeds. Some weeds seen during the first application may have died off naturally or controlled with the first app. Typical timing of application is mid-April through early June (usually 30-40 days following first treatment of the program).
Summer Treatment
This application consists of slow-release fertilizer and broadleaf weed control. The fertilizer consists of less Nitrogen and added Potassium to help grass’ roots withstand the upcoming stresses of summer heat and drought (lack of sufficient rainfall). Typical timing of application is early June through late July (usually 30-40 days following first treatment of the program). This application may also include grassy weed control pending timing of treatment. **Grub/Insect control applications will be applied with this treatment. Customers without the ‘summer treatment’ will usually be applied when most convenient for us as a service provider generally no later than mid-August. **
Grub/Surface Insect Control Treatment
This application is applied to prevent Grubs from rising to the surface and feeding on the grass’ root system. Grubs will not actively feed until very late August through early October with the height of the Grub season falling somewhere in mid-September. Typical timing of application is mostly dependent upon ‘summer treatment’ application.
Late Summer Treatment
This application consists of slow-release fertilizer and grassy/broadleaf weed control. The fertilizer is very similar in nature to the ‘summer treatment’ where is it geared to provide nutrients without over feeding grass that is usually stressed by this time of season from drought, heat, fungus and excessive mowing. (usually 30-40 days following first treatment of the program).
Early Fall Treatment
This application consists of slow-release fertilizer and broadleaf weed control. This is one of the most important applications of the season as September is the time where lawns are being seeded and need to be nourished properly. Also, September is a great time for cool-season grasses to recover from harsh summer conditions. Applying fertilizer will aid in the recovery process especially if a customer is deciding to pass on seeding. Typical timing of application is late August through early October.
Late Fall Treatment
This application consists of slow-release, winterizing fertilizer and broadleaf weed control (pending temperatures). As stated with the ‘early spring treatment’, temperatures may be too cold for us to effectively control weeds. If this is the case, only a winterizing fertilizer will be applied.
Lime
Lime is applied during the mid-late Fall. Lime is used to regulate pH balances within the soil. Lime can be applied after December 1 within the boundaries of the Fertilizer Law.

– Steve Cunningham
