Lawn Weed Control | Healthy Turf

St. Louis Fertilizer Packages

First, we will perform a soil test.  The soil test will give us the correct information on how to get your lawn looking better or maintain its current condition.  We then customize a fertilization/weed control package specified for your lawn.  Your lawn care needs are based on what the soil is in need of and the best time of year to apply the nutrients or weed killer is aligned with what your soil is deficient in.  Soil amendment is an important component in an overall healthy lawn.  Weed control packages for your lawn are developed and implemented only to amend your soil, but are applied with extreme caution as not to hurt the environment.  Insects can destroy a lawn pretty quickly so keeping insect damage to minimum is also included with our fertilization packages.  Grub worms and other lawn pests can easily be controlled with the correct herbicide treatments.

Fertilizer | Lawn Food | Seasonal

Early Spring | Pre Emergent Weed Control | Fertilizer

Spring is the best time of the year to address future weed issues by applying a pre-emergent weed control herbicide and general lawn food.  Feeding your lawn in the spring will help allow your lawn to grow weed free and develop the way a healthy lawn should.  Early spring lawn feeding is important because the fertilizer will be absorbed into the soil and take effect during your lawns longest growing season.

Late Spring | Post Emergent Weed Control | Fertilizer

A post emergent herbicide is applied to eliminate any weeds that have appeared and another general lawn food application.  The spring is a great time of year to feed your growing lawn.  Your lawn is growing extremely fast this time of year because of all the rain, so it is important to keep your lawn mowed frequently.  Weed control during this period is vital because during this season weeds are growing and trying to establish themselves for the entire season.  Weed killer applications during this period will eliminate all existing weeds and help to prevent new lawn weeds from forming.

Summer | Weed and Feed

A slow release lawn food is applied in the early summer that will not burn your lawn in the extreme heat of our St. Louis summers.  A spot post emergent herbicide product is applied to remove and eliminate unwanted weeds.  We will also treat for grubs and insects at this time of year.  Insects and lawn pests need to be eradicated from your lawn so that your lawn’s root system can develop into a healthy lawn.

Fall | Weed and Feed Application

A general lawn food is applied along with a weed and feed application.  After the extreme summer heat begins to cool down lawn weeds will start to grow and try to reestablish themselves in your turf.  A weed and feed herbicide will help to kill weeds in the lawn and feed your lawn during its second growing season.  Weeds that are allowed to grow and develop during this season will become a strong plant and will be an issue in the spring if not addressed in the fall.

Late Fall | Aeration | Overseeding

Late fall is the best time of year to amend your soil and prepare your property for the upcoming season.  Core aeration will alleviate soil compaction and allow your lawn to breathe and receive much needed nutrients and oxygen.  While the soil is open, it is the best time to plant new grass seed as it will have the chance to make it below the surface and begin germination.  Late fall over seeding and soil amendment yields better results than at any other time of the year including the spring.  Lime, gypsum and turface applications will benefit your lawn care the most if applied in the late fall as it prepares your lawn for the upcoming growing season in the spring.

Soil Test | Lime | Gypsum | Turface Applications

A soil test will inform us on how many lbs of pelletized lime, gypsum or turface to apply.  Soil amendment will dramatically change the appearance and beauty of your lawn.  Turface applications will improve how your lawn deals with excessive rain water.  Gypsum will allow clayish soils to break down and loosen.  Lime applications will change the ph of your soil and improve growing conditions for your lawn.
