Lawn Fertilization

Our 6-application program is designed to provide your turf with the necessary nutrient requirements to sustain a proper turf stand as outlined for our climate and soil conditions by Michigan State University.

6 Application Program

Round 1
Dry granular feritlizer to wake up turf and Dimension Pre-Emergent crabgrass control, to prevent crabgrass germination, which typically will show in the turf stand in June or July. Round 1 applied in April.

Round 2
Liquid fertilizer and Three Way systemic broadleaf weed control to eliminate all broadleaf weeds. Weed control cannot be applied until all weeds are up and to adult stage. Once there is sufficient foliage and the weed control is applied, it is absorbed into the plant tissue and is killed root and all. All weed controls are post-emergent and any applications done before weeds are to adult stage are useless. Liquid weed control is the best form of weed control. Round 2 applied in May to early June.

Round 3
Dry granular slow release all mineral fertilizer with spot-treatment of weeds. Round 3 typically consists of all mineral fertilizers with 20-50% slow release encapsulation to help regulate the growth of turf during the start of the hot season. Our early-summer blend also contains iron for deep green color without causing excessive growth. Round 3 applied in July.

Round 4
Dry granular slow release all mineral fertilizer with spot-treatment of weeds. Round 4 typically consists of all mineral fertilizers with 20-50% slow release encapsulation to help regulate the growth of turf during the remainder of the hot season. Our late-summer blend also contains iron for deep green color without causing excessive growth. Round 4 applied in August.

Round 5
Liquid fertilizer and Three Way systemic broadleaf weed control to eliminate newly germinated weeds from summer stress. Round 5 applied in September or once cooler and rainier weather returns.

Round 6
Dry granular all mineral winterizer fertilizer. Helps provide lawn with nutrients thru dormant winter months, and helps to wake up lawn quicker in the spring. Round 6 applied in October.

For our client's who require a more cost-effective program, we also offer 5 application, 4 application and 3 application programs.

5 Application Program

If a client only chooses a five-application program then Round 4 will be eliminated leaving them with
Rounds 1,2,3,5,6.

4 Application Program

If a client only chooses a four-application program then Rounds 4 and 6 will be eliminated leaving them with Rounds 1,2,3,5.

3 Application Program

If a client only chooses a three-application program then Rounds 3, 4 and 6 will be eliminated leaving them with Rounds 1,2,5.
