2nd Application

This is the second of six annual treatments and has been made to promote healthy growth and to prepare your lawn for the rigors of summer.

One of the important components of this application is fertilization. Fertilizers provide the nutrients that are necessary to sustain plant growth. These nutrients will help your lawn maintain the lush green color you desire. This application may also include iron to help maintain color.

Also, included in this application is a broadleaf weed control if you did not receive it during Application 1 or if your lawn needed it again. Various broadleaf weeds such as dandelion, plantains, clover, and others will be brought substantially under control by a very effective weed control material.

Poa annua control is available for warm season lawns at select locations.

This application will also contain both a pre-emergent and post-emergent weed control. These are applied to reinforce the effectiveness of weedy grass control and to control emerging broadleaf and grassy weeds if needed.

We thank you for using our services and we will be 100% committed to having you happy with your lawn and landscape and our services.

Customer Follow-Up

Please observe the following guidelines if you received broadleaf weed control today. (Your invoice indicates if this was applied.)

1. Please keep children and pets off lawn until the application has dried.
2. Please do not water heavily for 24 hours. (This is a safety margin and does not necessarily mean a light or even a heavy rain within this period will affect the application.)
3. Please do not mow for 24 hours. Return clippings to the lawn for the first two mowings following this application.
4. It will take some time for the established weeds to die. If you do not see results within 14 days, please call us to return for further service.

Mowing

As the temperatures warm the cutting height of your mower can be adjusted. It will also be very important to mow more frequently when the turf will be moving out of dormancy. Remember to avoid cutting more than 1/3 of the grass blade at one time. Also, make sure your mower blade is sharp. Continue mowing as long as shoot growth is evident.

Aeration

Aeration is an essential practice for a healthy and attractive lawn. It will both help decrease thatch and it will promote root growth. The root system is starting to actively grow at this time of year. A healthy root system is the foundation of a beautiful lawn. We offer this service at a super price.

Lime

Lime is an important practice for maintaining a healthy and attractive lawn. It helps to restore nutrients back to the soil that may have been used by vigorously growing turfgrass. It is essential to enable the plants ability to better absorb the nutrients that are being applied to your lawn.

6 Steps To A Beautiful Lawn

The following six practices are steps that you can take to further enhance the beauty of your lawn, making it the best it can be.

1. Maintain 1/2" to 1" of water per week throughout growing season. When watering, water heavily and do it in the morning.


2. Mow lawn regularly, maintaining a height between 3" and 4 1/2" for cool season grasses and 1 1/2" and 2 1/2" for warm season grasses (southern locations). Avoid taking more than 1/3 of grass blade at one mowing. Lawn clippings return needed nutrients to the soil, therefore avoid removing after every mowing. Use a well sharpened blade.


3. Have lawn aerated once a year. Aerate twice a year if your lawn has a heavy thatch layer or the soil is heavy clay. This is the most beneficial practice because it promotes root growth – essential for a healthy lawn.


4. Control weedy perennial grasses such as coarse fescue and bentgrass by using roundup or by digging them out. Following the first 3 steps will do much to squeeze them out. If you have any questions about these grasses please consult with your lawn specialist.


5. Minimize damage from shade by thinning trees and shrubs and removing lower branches. Seed with 5 lbs./1000 sq. ft. of red fescue. Try to avoid traffic and in the fall, keep leaves raked.


6. Please consult your lawn specialist if you see any changes in your lawn or you have any concerns with your lawn or landscape.
