We provide services in the following cities. Buffalo, Monticello, Albertville, St. Michael, Maple Lake, Hanover, Montrose.
We use the latest non-phosphorus professional fertilizers with nutrisphere. You will have the same licensed technician throughout the season. The technician keeps notes on your lawn conditions so he can treat them correctly and bring any problem to your attention.
The following is an explanation of what each application (round) does.
1. Round 1 Pre-emergent crabgrass control plus spring fertilizer application:
Applied in April-mid May this first application of the season consists of granular pre-emergent crabgrass /annual grass control plus a spring slow release fertilizer. (2 applications for the price of 1). This application does not control dandelions or broadleaf weeds.
2. Round 2 Spring broadleaf weed application:
Applied in May-June this liquid application controls emerged broadleaf weeds (dandelions, lambs ear, certain clover). Please note that this application controls only weeds that are emerged and will have no effect on weed seed, but can prevent dandelion seed from germinating. Creeping Charlie and a few other hard to control weeds need to be treated with separate applications. 2-3 applications are needed before the creeping charlie hardens off. (If you have Creeping Charlie please call for a quote to eliminate it from your lawn.)
3. Round 3 Mid Summer checkup / application: Applied in late June -mid July. This application consists of a lawn checkup, broadleaf weed spot spraying and a granular application of mid summer slow release fertilizer. This application also controls late emerging weeds from tree seeds... IF YOU HAVE A CLOVER PROBLEM, THIS IS THE TIME TO TREAT IT AS JUNE IS WHEN CLOVER IS MOST ACTIVE.
4. Round 4 Fall broadleaf weed control: Applied in mid August - September: this liquid application consists of broadleaf weed control plus a nitrogen boost.
5. Round 5 Aeration: This service is performed in mid September. Aerating can be done at anytime but this time of year works the best with overseeding and fertilization. Lawn aeration consists of plugging the lawn with small holes. Aeration will allow air, water and nutrients direct access to the lawns root structure. Aeration also reduces thatch and lawn compaction problems. After aeration it is a good time to seed any thin areas in your lawn.
6. Round 6 Fall Fertilizing: Applied in early October this is the final application of the year. This granular fertilizer and winterizer application contains a long lasting slow release formula which will give your lawn a quick green up next spring.
