Proudly providing residential and commercial lawn care services in Flint, Lansing, and surrounding areas, the following lists our recommended schedule to obtain a green turf all season long!
Early Spring (March/April)
Our first visit is designed to promote early spring green up and recovery from any winter stress. In addition, it includes a pre-emergent barrier to better control crabgrass.
Spring (May/June)
Fertilization to help thicken turf, promote shoot growth and maintain color and density. A post emergent weed control for broadleaf weeds will be applied at this time.
Early Summer (June/July)
Weather and moisture will determine which type of fertilizer is applied to your turf area. The treatment will maintain color and encourage drought hardiness. Weeds will be spot treated as needed.
Summer (July/August)
A slow-release granular fertilizer with iron will be applied to maintain color without encouraging excessive shoot growth. Weeds will be spot treated as needed.
Early Fall
(Late August/September)
This liquid fertilizer treatment is designed to help your lawn recover from summer stress and promote shoot growth and color. A blanket application of weed control will also be applied.
Fall (September/October)
This granular fertilizer treatment is applied to continue to improve the overall health and vigor of the lawn while maintaining color. Weeds will be spot treated as needed.
Early Winter
(Late October/November)
This winterize treatment encourages root growth and storage of carbohydrates important to winter hardiness. This treatment is not designed to promote shoot growth as this may prove unhealthy for the plant depending on depth and length of snow cover. Soil conditioner may be substituted for this treatment if deemed necessary.
