Early Spring:

• Apply pre-emergent once soil temp reaches 50 degrees.

• Dethatch the lawn to get more oxygen and nutrients to the grass roots.

• If needed: Overseed or patch dead/thin areas with grass seed once soil temp has reached 50-60 degrees.

• Optional: Apply a crawling insect/grub preventer.

• Apply fertilizer.

​

Late Spring:

• If need: Apply a post-emergent if there are still weeds in the lawn.

• Apply fertilizer.

​

Fall:

• Core aerate lawn to get healthier soil and grass.

• If needed: Overseed or patch dead/thin areas with grass seed once soil temp has dropped to 50-60 degrees.

• Apply a post and pre emergent (you will get the best results with herbicides in the fall time.)

​

Year Long Practices:

• Mow at least once a week.

• Never cut more than 1/3 of the grass blade off at one time. 

• Don't leave grass clippings clumped up on top of lawn. 

• Mulch as often as possible to give grass natural nitrogen (fertilizer).

• Keep mower blades sharp and mower deck clean.

• Water lawn to keep the grass growing and healthy.
