The six step annual weed control and fertilization program in an annual service program.
Pre-emergent weed control applications prevent weeds from growing, effectively stopping them before they have a chance to emerge. On the other hand, post-emergent applications target and eliminate weeds that have already sprouted. This process includes controlling broadleaf weeds with a post-emergent herbicide while also addressing crabgrass and other warm-season weeds through a targeted treatment during their germination phase.
Fertilization
This treatment utilizes a high-quality, slow-release fertilizer that promotes a healthy, vibrant green lawn. During this application, we also target and control existing weeds. Additionally, regular mowing throughout the spring helps your lawn green up faster by allowing more sunlight to warm the soil.
Summer Weed Control
Warm-season weeds like spurge, nutsedge, kyllinga, and Virginia buttonweed can thrive through the summer months in Southeast Alabama. Many people believe it's too late to control weeds late in the season, thinking winter will take care of them. However, these weeds can survive into fall and return stronger next year. A targeted liquid application now can help prevent further growth and keep your landscape healthy year-round.
Lime Application
Our Lime Application utilizes ground limestone to adjust the pH of your soil, optimizing it for grass growth. Grass thrives within a specific pH range; adding lime helps bring your soil into that ideal range. By balancing the soil pH, the grass can absorb nutrients more effectively, leading to healthier, more vibrant turf in the long run.
Fertilizing your yard year-round is essential for maintaining a healthy, lush lawn and preventing future weed growth. Here's why it's so important:
1. Promotes Healthy Grass Growth: Fertilizing throughout the year ensures that your lawn receives the right balance of nutrients at every stage of its growth. This helps the grass grow thick, strong, and resilient, making it less susceptible to disease, pests, and environmental stress.
2. Prevents Weeds: A well-fertilized, dense lawn creates an environment where weeds struggle to take root. Maintaining optimal soil health and turf coverage reduces the chances for weeds like dandelions, crabgrass, and clover to invade your lawn.
3. Improves Soil Health: Regular fertilization helps replenish essential nutrients in the soil, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are vital for grass and plant health. Over time, this enhances soil structure and supports long-term lawn vitality.
4. Supports Seasonal Growth: Different seasons require different nutrients. Fertilizing year-round allows you to cater to the changing needs of your grass, ensuring it thrives in both hot summer months and cold winter periods. For example, a late fall application of fertilizer helps the grass store nutrients for spring growth.
5. Increases Lawn Resilience: A consistently nourished lawn is more resilient to temperature fluctuations, drought, and foot traffic. With the right nutrients throughout the year, grassroots can grow deeper, and better equipped to handle tough conditions.
6. Enhances Lawn Appearance: Regular fertilizing gives your lawn a consistent, vibrant green color, improves texture, and reduces bare spots. A healthy, thick lawn is not only visually appealing but also contributes to the overall curb appeal of your home.
By fertilizing consistently across all seasons, you ensure your lawn remains healthy, dense, and less prone to weeds, providing lasting beauty and functionality for your outdoor space.
