Fertilization and weed control services are crucial for maintaining a healthy and aesthetically pleasing lawn. Throughout the year we apply a combination of pre-emergents, post-emergents, and fertilization applications to help with this. After each application we email you the chemical report. Within that report we provide care instructions that are critical to get the most out of the application provided.
Outside of what we can do, it’s imperative that you provide your lawn with an adequate amount of water each week. For turf in our area, that should be approximately 1″ water per week. We also recommend fewer, but longer watering periods versus shorter, but more watering periods (ex. 3X/week – 30 minutes/zone vs 5X/week – 10 minutes/zone). Doing this will allow your turf root system to growth deeper and healthier. In doing this, it’s also important that you don’t over water as that can cause fungus issues. When in doubt, get a water meter (or tuna can) and measure how much water you’re outputting each time. If you’d like to get on our irrigation control plan (if you have a pre-existing sprinkler system), reach out to us and we’ll set this up for you.
Another thing to keep in mind is weed transplanting. If you or your lawn service provider are not washing the underside of the deck of the mower, there’s a high probability of transplanting weeds. If we’re not providing that service to you, we’d encourage you to chat with your service provider about this. Ultimately, if weed seeds are continuously brought into the lawn you’ll constantly have additional issues here.
We also recommend frequent lawn services (ex. mowing) paired with our treatments. Once again, if we’re not providing this service to you we highly recommend a 7-day service (minimum of 14-day) by you or your service provider. Frequent cuts during the high growing season creates a healthier lawn and reduced scalping/damage to the lawn.
If you notice any oddities in your lawn that may be related to pests or fungus, please reach out. We can identify and provide a solution.
