The 6 key things you need to do to keep your lawn green and weed free need to be done at the right times, during the right outdoor conditions, and in the right volumes or you could hurt your lawn. The following list describes what you need to do and when you need to do it. Some homeowners love to work in the yard and some would rather just put these tasks on autopilot by hiring a lawn professional to do it for them.
Apply Granular Fertilizer and Pre-Emergent Herbicide in the Early Spring
The fertilizer will promote early Spring green up and add proper nutritional value for the lawn while it is coming out of from winter dormancy. In addition, a pre-emergent herbicide should be applied to protect your lawn from crabgrass and grassy weeds.
Apply Fertilizer with Bio Nutrients and Pre/Post Emergent Herbicide in the Late Spring / Early Summer
The late Spring application will provide a Spring fertilizer with bio-nutrients, a post emergent herbicide will help with broadleaf weed control. This will promote a healthy lawn, an additional pre-emergent herbicide will help to control any crabgrass and weeds that may still come up and control broadleaf weeds.
Apply Fertilizer with Weed & Insect Control in the Early Summer
The early Summer application should provide a balanced slow release Summer fertilizer that will help maintain the color of your lawn without pushing growth. This application should also contain broadleaf weed control and a safe insect control to protect from surface feeding insects.
Apply Granular Fertilizer with Weed Control in the Late Summer
The late Summer application should contain an organic fertilizer to work organic matter into your soil where it needs it most. This application should also provide broadleaf weed control on an as needed basis.
Apply Fertilizer in the Early Fall
This early Fall fertilizer will help green up the grass and help the lawn to recover from any Summer stress. Also, broadleaf weeds that are present will should be controlled.
