Lawn Treatments
Spring pre-emergent, early-summer feed, summer protection, and a heavy fall feeding to get your roots ready for winter. No guessing. We do this every year, on every lawn we touch.

What you get
Process
Pre-emergent crabgrass control plus a light fertilizer to kick the lawn out of dormancy. Timed to the soil temperature, not the calendar (usually late April in our area).
Slow-release nitrogen feed and broadleaf weed control on dandelions and clover. This is the round that gets your lawn that deep green going into June.
Lighter nitrogen rate to avoid burning the lawn during heat stress, plus iron for color. We may skip granular and use a foliar feed if it's been a brutally hot July.
The most important application. Heavy nitrogen, optional overseeding on thin spots, and a winterizer to set up roots for spring. This is what makes next year good.
Seasonal timing
Treatments run April through late October. We'll text you the day before each round so you know we're coming and can keep pets inside for a couple of hours after application.
Where we serve
Yes. We use granular EPA-registered products and ask that you keep pets and kids off the treated lawn for 2 hours (or until the next watering). Liquid applications stay off until they dry.
Sure, but the timing is the hard part. Pre-emergent has to go down before the soil hits 55°F, and most homeowners miss that window. We watch soil temps for every property on our route.
Treatments work fine as a standalone service. You don't need to use us for mowing to get on the treatment program.
Depends on lawn size. A typical quarter-acre lot is in the range a homeowner would expect for a quality four-round program. We quote per property after measuring it.
