Spring

Spring Clean Up
Now is the time to remove all leaves, sticks and other debris. Heavy accumulation of lawn debris will smother the lawn and create bare areas.

Fertilize
In the spring your lawn will need a fertilizer to stimulate an early green up.

Pre-Emergent
This application is a weed preventer (pre-emergent). This special application will not only give your lawn the food it needs, but prevent certain weeds from growing throughout the summer months.

Mulch Beds
Re-mulching landscape beds around your home will help keep the soil moist to the roots of the plants and discourages the growth of weeds.

Seasonal Color
Brighten up your curb appeal after a cold winter. Install seasonal color in to your landscape.

Lawn Mowing
Scalping your lawn in February will remove the thatch that accumulated during the previous year and promote growth and a healthy lawn; afterwards it’s time to start scheduled mowing.

Summer

Proper Watering
Water in the morning and try to avoid late afternoon or night watering. This will allow ample time for the grass and plants to dry throughout the day and prevents fungus or other bacteria from growing in moist areas overnight. A lawn needs about 1 inch of water per week.

Aerating
During the summer sol tends to become compacted. Compaction can be decreased by aerating. Aerating your lawn helps water seep down to the grass roots and brings air back into the sub-soil. Sub-surface air and water are necessary for turf to grow.

Fertilize
It is necessary to fertilize in the summer to continue the health regimen of your lawn. This will help thicken the grass and promote an overall greener lawn.

Grub Worm Prevention Application
White grubs are the larvae (the young) of certain beetles that can cause devastating damage to your lawn. They also attack the roots of flowers, vegetables and ornamentals. Grubs are easy to identify, but often go unnoticed because they live underground. It is better to apply an application to prevent them because once you notice them it is too late and the damage has already been done. Once the grub application has been applied to your lawn, it takes between 4 to 6 weeks for the grubs to die if they are present.

Lawn Mowing
Avoid cutting your lawn too short, longer is better. Optimal length of your grass should be 3 inches. This helps shade out weeds, keeps the roots cooler and encourages deeper root growth. Cutting too much off the top leads to thinned out grass and shallow root systems.

Fall

Pre-Emergent Application
This specially formulated winterizing fertilizer is higher in nitrogen and contains a weed preventer. This application will make the grass more winter hardy, help prevent weeds and green up the lawn earlier next spring.

Fertilize
It is necessary to fertilize in the fall to continue the health regimen of your lawn. This will help thicken the grass and promote an overall greener lawn.

Lawn Renovation
Fall is the time to over-seed your lawn with a fescue or rye application.

Plant
This is a great season for planting trees and shrubs. These new plants will have plenty of time to settle in before winter dormancy. Make sure they have plenty of mulch and water on a regular basis until they become established.

Seasonal Color
This is the perfect time to remove all of the remaining spring color from your landscape, clean out the beds, install new fall color and remulch.

Winter

Remove Weeds & Debris
Always remove all debris and leaves from your lawn. This is important for winter lawn care so that the debris does not breakdown or decompose on your lawn and cause possible fungus or other lawn disease problems. Even though there may be fewer weeds in the winter, still make sure they are removed so they do not choke out your slower growing lawn.
