SPRING TREATMENTS

Dethatching

Benefits

Timing

Removes built-up thatch to improve water, nutrient, and air penetration, promoting a healthier, greener lawn.

Best done in early spring when the grass begins actively growing, but before the peak growth period.

Core Aeration

Benefits

Relieves soil compaction, enhances root growth, and increases nutrient absorption for a stronger, healthier lawn.

Timing

Perform in early to mid-spring when the soil is moist, and grass growth is just starting to pick up.

Overseeding

Benefits

Fills in bare spots and thickens your lawn with fresh, resilient grass growth for a lush appearance.

Timing

Ideal in mid spring when soil temperatures are consistently warm, and there’s plenty of moisture for seed germination.

Topdressing

Benefits

Adds a layer of nutrient-rich soil to improve soil quality, drainage, and root development while evening out the lawn surface.

Timing

Apply in mid-spring after aeration or overseeding to support new growth and improve soil conditions.

Crabgrass Preventer

Benefits

Creates a protective barrier to stop weeds before they start, ensuring a weed-free and vibrant lawn throughout the season.

Timing

Apply pre-emergent herbicide in early spring when soil temperatures reach about 10°C (50°F) to prevent weed seeds from germinating.

Spring Fertilization

Benefits

Provides essential nutrients to jumpstart grass growth and recovery from winter dormancy, promoting a thick and vibrant lawn.

Timing

Apply in early to mid-spring to provide essential nutrients for early growth and recovery from winter stress

Soil Conditioning

Timing

Improves soil structure, enhances water retention, and promotes root development by breaking up compacted soil and increasing microbial activity

Best applied in early to mid-spring when the soil is thawed and grass begins its active growth, allowing roots to benefit from improved soil conditions.

Benefits

Optimize Soil pH

Balances soil acidity to enhance nutrient availability and create ideal growing conditions for healthy, vibrant grass.

Apply in early spring after our soil test confirms pH levels, giving the lawn time to absorb and benefit from the adjustment.

Timing

Benefits

Grub Preventer

Prevents lawn damage by stopping grubs from developing and feeding on grass roots.

Apply preventive treatments in mid to late spring to stop grubs from hatching and damaging the lawn.

Benefits

Timing

Broadleaf Weed Control

Eliminates existing weeds to keep the lawn weed-free and allow grass to thrive without competition.

Apply spot treatments as needed in mid to late spring to address any existing weeds that slipped past pre-emergent control.
