Does your lawn look like this?

Weeds are inevitable — their seeds are constantly blowing in the wind and can take root in your lawn at any point in time. To make sure this doesn’t happen to your lawn, remember to fertilize. The best time to start is early Spring, because you don’t want to start too early while it’s still Winter. When Spring arrives, your lawn is hungry for nutrients, so let a quality fertilizer work its magic.

We can change that with fertilizing treatments in the spring, lime applications if necessary and definitely fall aeration, overs-seeding. With patience and consistency, you can change your lawn to be lush.

We know that life is constantly getting more chaotic with each coming year. If you don’t have time or energy to take these steps yourself, fear not! Let us take it off your hands. Give us a call or text today!

Its Spring and time to get rid of those w**ds.

For those who prefer w**d-free lawns, spring lawn care is as much about w**d prevention as it is about fostering healthy lawn growth. You do not get rid of all lawn w**ds in the same manner. Depending upon whether a w**d is annual or perennial, you will use a preemergent herbicide or a post-emergent herbicide, respectively. Although, to fight crabgrass, consider using both. Crabgrass is an annual w**d and is tough to eradicate.

Crabgrass begins its assault on lawns in spring when temperatures are consistently 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit for several days. Preemergent herbicides address w**ds, not after the fact, but before their seedlings can even emerge. Preemergent herbicides form a chemical barrier in the top layer of soil that coats seeds and prevents them from growing roots and shoots. If you know you have a problem with crabgrass, then apply fertilizer and preemergent herbicides at the same time or use a combination formula.

If you are using preemergent herbicides, don't plan on doing any core aeration until the fall. You will puncture the shield and decrease the w**d killer's effectiveness.

Preemergent herbicides also work against grass seeds, too. So, if you have to establish new grass, it might be difficult if you apply a preemergent herbicide. Overseeding is incompatible with the application of most preemergent herbicides. So while it's still possible to overseed in spring, it's merely easier to do so in fall. There will be no competition from crabgrass then because the fall frosts kill off crabgrass.

Give us a call today - we offer both treatments.

Spring Tip: Spring is not the ideal time to aerate the lawn, but circumstances may require it. If soil is compacted to the point that existing grass can't grow, it may be necessary to aerate in the spring. Generally, though, spring aerating is discouraged because the aeration holes provide a perfect spot for w**d seeds to germinate. Weeds (especially crabgrass) are the first seeds to germinate in the spring, and aerating the lawn stirs them up and gives them an ideal home. If you must aerate in the spring, consider around Memorial Day after w**ds have started growing but before they go to seed.
