5 Step Lawn Treatment Program
Get Started Today
For most of our customers, we provide a five-step program that combines three granular slow-release fertilizers and two liquid treatments of premium turf fertilizer, with control products included for surface-feeding insects, broad leaf weeds and the prevention of crabgrass and summer weeds. We begin in the early spring. Thereafter, your treatments are applied approximately five to seven weeks apart, with your last treatment coming late September or October.
