Seasonal Application Timeline

What happens and when throughout the year

Base Program: core seasonal applications.

Turf Protection: adds enhanced summer feed, grub control, and preventative fungicide.

Spring Applications

March - May

Spring Fertilizer + Crabgrass Prevention

Feeds turf as it exits dormancy and creates chemical barrier to prevent crabgrass germination.

Base Program

Spring Weed Control + Reinforced Pre-Emergent

Kills visible broadleaf weeds and adds redundancy during peak crabgrass germination window.

Base Program

Summer Applications

June - August

Summer Spot Weed Control

Targeted herbicide applied only where weeds are present to minimize stress on heat-stressed turf.

Base Program

Summer Slow-Release Fertilizer (Standard)

Maintains color and density without forcing growth during summer heat stress.

Base Program

Enhanced Summer Fertilizer

Additional nutrition and protection during peak summer stress.

Turf Protection Upgrade

Preventative Fungicide

Protects turf from heat-driven fungal diseases before infection occurs.

Turf Protection Only

Grub Control

Stops grub larvae before root damage occurs. Prevention is the only effective strategy.

Turf Protection Only

Fall Applications

September - November

Fall Weed Control

Most effective weed killing season. Herbicide moves into root systems for maximum control.

Base Program

Late-Fall Winterizer

Strengthens roots over winter and determines next spring's results. Most important fertilizer of the year.

Base Program

Core Aeration

Relieves soil compaction and improves oxygen, water, and nutrient movement. The only physical soil correction in the system.

Optional in Base Included in Turf Protection

Aeration: The Foundation of Every Program

Aeration opens compacted soil so fertilizers and weed control deliver their best results.

🌱

Spring Aeration

  • Loosens soil before growth surge
  • Improves early nutrient uptake
  • Best for heavily compacted lawns

Timing: Early Spring

Maximum Results

Spring & Fall Aeration

  • Maximum compaction relief
  • Season-long soil structure improvement
  • Highest turf density over time

Best For: High-traffic lawns, clay soil

What Each Treatment Does

Detailed explanations of every application

Base Program Applications

Feeds turf as it wakes up and lays a pre-emergent barrier to stop crabgrass from sprouting. This sets the baseline for season-long weed control.

Targets visible broadleaf weeds and reinforces the crabgrass barrier as temperatures rise. Keeps weed pressure low during the main spring flush.

Targets only active weed patches to protect heat-stressed turf while keeping weeds in check.

Steady nutrition to maintain color and density without pushing growth during summer heat.

Fall is the most effective time to kill weeds because herbicide moves into the roots. Fewer weeds return next spring.

Feeds roots before winter for earlier spring green-up, thicker turf, and better stress tolerance.

Pulls soil cores to relieve compaction and improve water, air, and nutrient flow before summer stress.

Turf Protection Additional Applications

Everything from Base Program PLUS:

Combines spot weed control, preventative fungicide, and fertilizer to protect turf during peak summer stress.

Extends disease protection and prevents grub damage while keeping summer nutrition steady.

The best timing for aeration. Opens soil for fall root growth and improves moisture and nutrient movement.

Optional Add-Ons

Extra feeding for high-traffic lawns or peak appearance windows. Scheduled only when needed.

Preventative treatment applied early-to-mid summer before grub eggs hatch.

Preventative fungicide added for lawns with higher disease risk or history of issues.
