Our Method

Dana has developed a proven method that he applies throughout the year that controls weeds, kills pests and results in a healthy, green lawn.

January/February – Winter Weed Control

Early weeds are showing.
Dimension® (for grassy weeds) and Roundup® are applied by Dana and his spraying crew to kill weeds that have germinated since September or the previous year. Our distinctive blue marking dye helps us control the application more precisely.

March/April – Spring Weed Control

Clean Dormant Grass
Dimension® and new Carfentrazone®, for Prostrate Spurge, are applied once again by Dana and his spraying crew to strengthen weed control effectiveness throughout the enjoyable summer months, when grass is greenest. Dana applies specialized fertilizer with Nutralene® (a slow-release agent) to initiate maximum green-up.

May/August – Grub-Worm Control

Clean GREENING Grass
Heavy Water Application Begins. (1.5″ of water per week monitored by rain gauge.) Dana applies Carfentrazone® again, and the maximum rate of cutting-edge technology to kill Grubworms, (which allowed to live become June Bugs.) Dana again applies specialized fertilizer with Nutralene®, plus heavy Iron to sustain a deep, rich-green lawn.

July/August – Nutsedge and Spurge (Milk Weed) Control

Clean DEEP-GREEN Grass
Heavy Water Application Continues (1.5″ of water per week monitored by rain gauge.) Heavy chemical application to control Nutsedge and Spurge. Dana again applies Carfentrazone® and specialized fertilizer with Nutralene®, plus heavy Iron to sustain a deep, rich-green lawn.

September/October – Seasonal Transition

Weed-free GREEN Lawns that are Exposed to Maximum Sunlight.
PRIME TIME to correct difficult lawns suffering from low sunlight exposure. These lawns require overseeding with Fescue, plus additional fertilizer to strengthen and transition the lawn to better health. (This optional service is done without having to dig up your yard.)

November/December – Salt Flushing

Once GREEN Lawns are Now Entering Winter Dormancy.
Dana applies products to effectively remove salt, due to watering, and replace with humates. This also increases water filtration and microbial activity. Dana will also control late-season broadleaf weeds that have germinated due to fall rainfall.
