8 Applications

Summer Fertilizer Applications
Summer Weed Control
White Grub and Army Worm control
Fall Pre-Emergent Poa Annua Applications
Soil pH Support (Lime or Soil Conditioner)
Summer Spot Treatments
Seasonal Weed & Pest Monitoring
Lime Application
Lime is applied to balance soil pH, helping nutrients reach turf roots efficiently. Proper pH supports healthy root development, stronger turf, and improved soil structure. This foundational step ensures Bermuda grass absorbs nutrients effectively and is prepared for growth as the lawn emerges from dormancy, setting the stage for a healthy, vibrant lawn throughout the season.
Pre Emergent + Spot Weed Control + Controlled Release Fertilizer
Pre-Emergent is applied in two split treatments to form a soil barrier that prevents weed seeds from germinating. Controlled-release fertilizer helps the lawn green up quickly from dormancy. Spot weed control removes any existing weeds. These combined steps suppress weeds early and promote uniform, vigorous growth, preparing Bermuda grass for a healthy, strong start to the growing season.
Pre Emergent weed control + post emergent weed control
+ Fertilizer
Pre-Emergent continues to prevent summer weed growth, while Post-Emergent removes existing weeds. Light fertilizer boosts turf growth and encourages dense coverage. These treatments strengthen the lawn, support healthy roots, and prepare Bermuda grass for peak summer performance, ensuring it stays vibrant, weed-free, and ready for rapid growth during the warmer months.
Slow release fertilizer application + spot weed control
Slow-release fertilizer (50% PolyOn) provides nutrients immediately and steadily over time, promoting robust summer growth. Spot weed control removes localized weeds. This combination supports strong, uniform turf, healthy root systems, and stress resistance, keeping Bermuda grass thick and vibrant during the height of summer growth and environmental challenges.
Insecticide Treatment + Weed Treatment
An insecticide targets White Grubs and Army Worms, protecting roots and above-ground grass. Herbicide is applied to control weeds such as Nutsedge. These treatments maintain strong, healthy Bermuda turf during peak growth, preventing damage from pests and weeds and ensuring dense, vibrant coverage throughout summer.
Slow Release Fertilizer + spot weed control
50% PolyOn slow-release fertilizer provides nutrients that carry the lawn into dormancy. Spot weed control removes remaining weeds to maintain uniform turf. This late-season care strengthens roots, stores energy for winter, and ensures the lawn remains healthy, green, and prepared for cooler months ahead.
Fall Pre Emergent
Fall Pre-Emergent prevents winter weeds like Annual Bluegrass (Poa Annua) and Chickweed (Stellaria media). The soil barrier reduces weed germination, supports healthy Bermuda grass roots, and maintains turf density through fall and winter. Proper timing ensures a clean, healthy lawn entering dormancy and sets up early spring growth.
Pre Emergent + Post Emergent Weed Control
Fall Pre-Emergent stops weed seeds from germinating, while Post-Emergent removes existing weeds. This combination maximizes winter weed control, reduces stress on Bermuda turf, strengthens roots, and ensures dense coverage. Proper fall care prepares the lawn for a strong start to the next growing season and promotes healthy growth in early spring.
10 Applications
Pre-Emergent Crabgrass Control
Additional Fertilizer Applications
Broadleaf Weed Control
White Grub and Army Worm Control
Organic Soil Conditioner
Nutsedge Control
Brown Patch Fungus Control
Poa Annua Supression
Fertilizer + Weed Control
A liquid fertilizer is applied to quickly enhance lawn color and early-season vigor. Weed control products are included to suppress Poa Annua and common broadleaf weeds. This application helps improve appearance during cooler months while reducing winter weed pressure and preparing the lawn for the upcoming growing season.
Pre-Emergent + Post-Emergent Weed Control + Fertilizer
Pre-Emergent is applied to form a soil barrier that prevents summer weed germination. For best results, this treatment is split into two equal applications, with the second applied during the next visit. Post-Emergent weed control targets any existing weeds. Fertilizer provides essential nutrients to support healthy growth as the lawn enters the growing season.
Slow Release Fertilizer + Pre-Emergent
An 85% slow-release fertilizer is applied to feed the lawn gradually over several months, allowing roots to absorb nutrients efficiently. This fertilizer is coated with the second Pre-Emergent application, providing extended protection against summer weeds. Together, these treatments promote steady growth, improved turf density, and long-lasting weed prevention.
Fungicide + Iron + Insecticide + Soil Conditioner
A fungicide application helps prevent Brown Patch fungus during favorable conditions. Iron is applied to enhance lawn color without excessive growth. Insecticide protects against damaging pests such as White Grubs that attack turf roots. Organic soil conditioners reduce compaction and improve nutrient movement to the root system, supporting overall lawn health.
Fungicide + Soil Wetting Agent + Iron + Potassium
Fungicide continues protection against Brown Patch fungus. A soil wetting agent is applied to improve moisture retention in the root zone. Iron enhances turf color, while potassium fertilizer strengthens the lawn’s immune system. This combination helps the fescue lawn withstand summer stress, heat, and disease pressure more effectively.
Dual Fungicide Application + Insecticide
A dual-action fungicide is applied to control both Brown Patch fungus and Grey Leaf Spot, which commonly increases during this time of year. Insecticide is included to prevent damage from Army Worms. These treatments protect the lawn during peak summer stress, helping maintain turf density, health, and overall resilience.
Dual Action Fungicide + Blanket Weed Control + Starter Fertilizer
A blanket weed control application reduces weed populations that may appear as spring Pre-Emergent breaks down. Dual-action fungicide continues control of Grey Leaf Spot and Brown Patch fungus. Granular slow-release starter fertilizer supports new seed growth and strengthens turf, improving lawn recovery and preparation for the upcoming fall season.
Slow Release Fertilizer
Granular slow-release fertilizer is applied to provide steady nutrition through fall and winter. Proven results show this application continues feeding the lawn into late winter and early spring. This treatment supports root development, improves cold tolerance, and helps ensure a stronger, healthier lawn when growth resumes.
Fertilizer + Weed Control + Poa Annua Control
Ammonium sulfate fertilizer is applied for fast nutrient uptake in cooler temperatures. Blanket weed control targets winter broadleaf weeds, while a specialized herbicide focuses on Poa Annua control. This final application keeps weeds suppressed through winter and ensures the lawn enters spring in optimal condition.
There are a few key differences between Fescue and Bermuda or Zoysia. All across Mecklenburg and Gaston Counties, you can see both types of lawns just by driving or walking a short distance. Here are a few keys to identifying each one.
| Grass Type | Winter Behavior | Spring Behavior | Summer Behavior | Additional Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fescue | Remains green in the winter | Looks its best in March, April and May | Can look very stressed in the summer when it’s hot | Most commonly aerated and reseeded in September and October |
| Bermuda | Turns brown in the winter months while it is dormant | Begins to turn back green in March and April | Thrives in the summer heat | Grown from sod, which are installed as small individual squares |
