At a minimum, it is best to fertilize lawns when they begin their active growth period: spring and
summer for warm-season grasses (Bermuda, Zoysia, St. Augustine); spring and fall for cool-
season grasses (Fescue, Bluegrass, Rye). If you fertilize at the beginning of these seasons,
your lawn will have full benefit of the nutrients during the entire time it is growing. For optimum
results, we recommend the Annual Treatment Program below. You will have the best yard in
the neighborhood! Contact us for a FREE estimate and more information on the Manicure
Touch Package.
Early Spring Application
This application keeps crabgrass seeds and other grassy weeds from germinating helps
establish a green healthy lawn. Core aerating and broadleaf weed control is used if needed
(warm-season grasses).
Late Spring Application
Pre-emergent is applied to help control crabgrass and foxtail. Also, lawn weed and feed is
applied to control dandelions and broadleaf weeds.
Summer Application
This application will provide a slow release fertilizer for a green and healthy lawn all summer
long. Also iron is applied to help maintain a green lawn during the hot summer drought and heat.
Fall Application
This application is to help the lawn recover from the stress of the summer and also will promote
new growth. This is also a great time for over seeding. Deep core aerating and broadleaf weed
control is used if needed (cool-season grasses). Lime is also applied to the lawn to raise the
pH of the soil that is too acidic.
Winterizer
This application contains timed-release nitrogen and extra potassium to help lawns endure
winter stress. It also helps to combat the winter weeds in the lawn and helps grass green up
quickly in the spring.
Aerating
Many lawns have compacted soil which restricts the movement of air and water to the roots.
Aerating is a simple process. It consists of perforating the soil (and any thatch above it) with
small holes, which allow water, air, and fertilizer to get to the roots. Aerating enables the roots to
grow deeply and produce a more vigorous lawn. Aerating for cool-season grasses should be
done in the fall and in the spring for warm-season grasses.
Overseeding
Cool-season grasses should be overseeded each fall to keep it thick and lush. Unlike warm
season grasses, fescue, rye and bluegrass don’t spread. Seeding it each fall will insure that
your shade grass stays nice and thick.
