Custom Lawn Care Program

Applying a crabgrass preemergent fertilizer will prohibit most seeds from germinating. Application timing depends on the ground temperature. As a Green Envy member, we will notify when to apply.

**Do not apply preemergent if planning to overseed***

Summer is a tough time for lawns due to the high temperatures and low precipitation. A lot of lawns will turn brown and go into a semi dormant stage. 

Slow release fertilizers provide a delay in the release of nitrogen to prevent burning of the lawn when temperatures are on the rise.

During the summer months it is not recommended to mow your lawn shorter than 3 inches. Doing so can cause additional stress and damage the plant. Watering your lawn is always encouraged if it is dry for several days in a row. 

Basic fall maintenance helps prepare the lawn for the winter and spring months ahead. Removing leaves and other yard debris helps reduce the chance of developing diseases. The final mowing of the year should be at a shorter height than normal. Combining basic maintenance techniques and proper fertilizer applications will help you achieve a nice, thick, weed free lawn.

Fall fertilizer is an essential step in maintaining a healthy lawn. This application helps replenish nutrients that the soil lost during growing season. This application will also help strengthen the root system and provide the grass with everything it needs to be successful through the winter dormant months. 

Frost seeding a lawn can be an effective way to overseed your lawn. For this type of application to be successful it is critical that the ground be froze and for direct seed to soil contact is established. Removing leaves and other debris as well as cutting the grass shorter than normal will benefit the new seed and existing grass.
