Fertilization Management:
Four Seasons Lawn Care only uses custom blended slow release granular fertilizers. Our balanced formulations will feed your lawn consistently and evenly over an extended period of time. This will result in your lawn obtaining a darker green color, improved density, more uniform growth pattern and superior root system. The outline below provides a description of our most popular lawn care program:
- Early Spring Application (March – April) – Slow release granular fertilizer & pre emergent crabgrass control
- Late Spring Application (May - June) – Slow release granular fertilizer & liquid broadleaf weed control
- Summer Application (June – July) – Slow release granular fertilizer w/ micronutrients
- Late Summer Application (August) - Slow release granular fertilizer w/ micronutrients
- Early Fall Application (September – October) – Slow release granular fertilizer & liquid broadleaf weed control
- Late Fall Application (November) Slow release granular fertilizer w/ micronutrients
Crabgrass Control – Crabrgass is an annual weed which sprouts from seeds in early spring, grows all summer and is killed off by the first hard frost in the fall. The best way to prevent crabgrass from invading your lawn is to maintain a healthy and dense stand of turf through proper fertilization. That being said, we typically apply crabgrass preventer along with the first application of granular fertilizer in the spring of each year. This is to keep crabgrass from germinating in areas along curbs and sidewalks where the ground tends to be more compacted and the turf becomes stressed during the winter months.
Broadleaf Weed Control – We use liquid sprays to control a variety of broadleaf weeds including chickweed, clover, ground ivy, dandelion, henbit and spurge just to name a few. These systemic herbicide products are first absorbed through the leaf surface before traveling to the root system for complete elimination. These applications are typically applied in blanket form during May and September. They could also be applied on an as needed basis during the other portions of the year.
