Five Application Program
We use a high quality, slow release fertilizing mix specific to our area.
First Application - Second Application - Third Application - Fourth Application - Fifth Application
Timing of Application If this application was made before lawn clean up, water will wash the fertilizer materials into the soil; then do your mowing raking or aeration. Watering It is not necessary to water immediately after this application but water, rain or snow is needed to get the fertilizer into the soil so the grass can utilize it. Weed Control Weed varieties emerge at different times of the season and we can only control lawn weeds present at the time of application. Dandelion control takes approximately 14 to 21 days; other lawn weeds will take various lengths of time for control. Weeds emerging between rounds will be sprayed on the next scheduled round.

Mowing We recommend mowing at a height of 3" through the fall. This is as high as most brands of mowers can be set. Mulching the grass in the fall is recommended. Leaves If there is an excessive amount of leaves on the lawn, raking or wind movement of the leaves will cause the fertilizer to be deposited on the soil to be used by the grass. After fertilizing, we will also blow the leaves depositing the fertilizer on the grass. Fall Feeding Trees and Shrubs We recommend fertilizing trees and shrubs every fall to accomplish the following:
