Lawn Fertilizing & Weed Control Program Information

Round 1 of the Green Lawn Fertilizing Program

We begin round 1 with Fertilizer, Pre-Emergent Weed Control and Post Emergent Broadleaf weed control. The goal is to kick off the season with a foundational process that promotes lawn health, growth, improved color, and vigor.

At Green Lawn Fertilizing, our Fertilizers contain nutrients essential for plant growth. Urban soils often lack a sufficient quantity of nutrients to support healthy turfgrass plants for an extended period of time. Therefore, fertilization is needed to provide the additional nutrition essential for lawn growth, health and vigor. Nearly every round includes a fertilizer application because plants use and deplete available nutrients, requiring nutrient inputs regularly through the season

Alongside fertilizer, we apply Pre-emergent weed control that prevents annual grassy weeds like crabgrass, barnyard and foxtail from germinating later in the season. Our pre-emergent creates a soil barrier for grassy weed seeds that would otherwise germinate. The benefits of this service span from May until August so you can enjoy a weed free lawn once the summer rolls around.

To cap off your lawn’s foundation for the year, Round one applies a Post-emergent broadleaf weed applicant to control existing weeds. Post-emergent affects the ability of these invasive plants to grow and the results are typically seen within a couple of weeks if you do have visible broadleaf weeds early in the season.

Round 2

As stated, we apply fertilizer to nearly every application here at Green Lawn Fertilizing and Round two is no different. Our pre-emergent and post-emergent weed control applications continue with this round so you can expect no shortage of premium products early in the season which is why it’s important to begin your program early to create the healthiest, greenest lawn possible. 

The primary differentiator here will be the addition of Surface Insect Control. This application is specifically designed to reduce adult chinch bug populations to reduce and even prevent the likelihood of chinch bug damage during the summer months.

Round 3 – Grub Control

Grub activity will destroy any potential your lawn has of thriving during the summer and we aim to attack this potential problem by taking preventative measures. If you’re familiar with grub problems, then you know it’s an issue that takes the nutrients right out of your lawn. They create dead patches in your turf that can be surprisingly large. Timing is critical when it comes to grub control and our program is designed to apply preventative applications when it’s most crucial.  Our grub control is guaranteed and, if there is a breakthrough, we use a curative treatment to terminate any active grubs from your lawn.

Rounds 4-7

Now that we have established a healthy foundation for your lawn, our process applies the next allotment of applications in a timely manner. During the summer months, we adjust your agronomic program to better serve your needs. The extreme heat limits healthy plant development and supports weeds. We address this problem with specialized weed control formulas that are applied throughout your summer rounds.

• Round 4: Fertilizer for your lawn continues along with a post emergent weed control that not only attacks any visible broadleaf weeds, but also that pesky yellow nutsedge that seems to take over lawns this time of year. It’s capped off with another treatment to control Surface insects such as chinch bugs and Sod webworm.
• Round 5: Here, fertilizer is applied if it is deemed necessary by our team as the plant and its root system experiences shifts during the summer months. This is the time of year weeds take over due to the severe heat our PA, NJ & DE
•  customers experience making post-emergent broadleaf and grassy weed control that much more important.
• Rounds 6 & 7: These rounds assure fertilizer as the initial shock of the extreme summer temps have happened and the plants ability to grow returns. We continue to take preventative measures against broadleaf and grassy weeds alongside yellow nutsedge with post-emergent weed control.

Round 8

The final round in your program contains, yes, you guessed, more post-emergent broadleaf weed control (we really hate weeds). More important with this round, however, is a potassium application developed to improve turf tolerance for stressors such as: disease, extreme cold or heat, and even traffic. Not only does it strengthen your lawn against natural stressors, it also plays a critical role in turgor pressure, which is just a really fancy way to say it improves plant resilience and strengthens your lawn as the season comes to a close.

A Full Year of Eight (8) Lawn Applications in PA, NJ & DE

We didn’t just develop this program for anyone, we developed it for families in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. With seven fertilizer applications, approximately 4-6 weeks apart, that contain fertilizer, broadleaf weed control, and pre-emergent crabgrass control on the first 2 applications, and an 8th application of grub control, we have the program and expertise you need to handle cool season grasses. You’ll be proud of how your lawn looks. And don’t worry, we offer a satisfaction guarantee so you can be sure you made the right decision.

Benefits of Maintained Turfgrass

If you’re still wondering, “Why make the investment?” Keep in mind that a healthy, maintained lawn is more than just pleasing to the eye. A small sized lawn releases enough oxygen to meet the needs of a family of four for 24 hours and absorbs harmful elements such as carbon dioxide and ozone. PLUS, according to buyers, a properly maintained lawn adds 15% to a home’s value. Lawn Care even has an investment recovery rate of 100-200% compared to a 40-70% rate for a patio or deck. Lawn Care programs containing regularly scheduled fertilizing applications keep your turf healthy, dense and green. Green Lawn Fertilizing provides organic based fertilizer to help your lawn reach its highest potential for both the environment and your investment. It isn’t just about having the greenest lawn in the neighborhood, it’s about creating a home you can be proud of, one your family can enjoy day in and day out, and doing it with eco-friendly products and 5 star rated customer service.
