Lawn Program

---

We offer both weed control and weed prevention for your lawn and shrub beds.  This is done by using  pre-emergent herbicides before the weed seeds germinate, as well as post emergent herbicides for any weeds you may already have.  Our technicians are able to treat and control just about any weed you may get in your lawn.  In fact, we pride ourselves at being among the best at weed control.

We treat for weeds on properties as small as a few hundred square feet, and as large as a few hundred acres.  Because of the experience we have with weeds and turf, we are familiar with the herbicides effects on different types of turf.  

We routinely factor in variables, such as the variety of turf, outside temperature, humidity, amount of sunlight, surrounding plants, soil condition,  and previous herbicide application to decide on the best mode of action when treating your weeds.

PRE-EMERGENT HERBICIDE

Pre-Emergent Herbicides are designed to stop weeds before they germinate or emerge.  This is a crucial step to keeping your lawn weed-free because it is much easier to control weeds if you don't have any.  We usually treat a couple times each year with a broad-leaf pre-emergent.  Typically we treat just before summer weeds germinate, and then again before winter weeds germinate.  However, even with the best pre-emergent herbicides, it is impossible to keep every weed out of your lawn,  Because of that, we also apply post-emergent herbicides during the year.

POST-EMERGENT HERBICIDES

Post-Emergent Herbicides are designed to kill existing weeds that you have in your lawn.  Different post-emergent herbicides are used throughout the year, depending on the weather conditions and the types of weeds we're trying to control.  During the hottest summer months, we still use post-emergent herbicides, but because they can stress the grass when it's very hot outside, we cut back on some of the application rates.  This may result in us having to spray certain weeds two and three times to get 100% under control, but it's much better to take the safer approach to make sure your lawn doesn't turn brown.

BROAD-LEAF WEED CONTROL

There are three types of weeds that can get into your lawn (broad-leaf weeds, grassy weeds, and sedges).

Broad-leaf weeds get their name because their leaves are broader than either grassy weeds or sedges.  Their leaves are divided down the center into two sections and the veins run sideways from the centerline of the leaf.

Our turf program includes broad-leaf weed control, because, if you have weeds in your lawn, they are more than likely broad-leaf.  Included in this category is dollarweed (pennywort).  

FERTILIZER

Who doesn't love the appearance of a lush, green yard?  Well in order to have that, your turf needs fertilizer in order to grow well and maintain a dark green appearance.  There are three primary nutrients in most fertilizers (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium) and many secondary nutrients (Iron, Magnesium, etc.).  Not only are fertilizers blended with different percentages of nutrients, but many of the nutrients are also available in varying forms, which allows then to be absorbed in different ways by the grass.

We customize our fertilizer for each treatment to provide the most benefit to your lawn. when doing this, we factor in weather conditions, the condition of your lawn, and current  chemical regulations.

INSECTICIDE

With warm weather comes insects, and just about everyone has experienced the damage they can do to turf, either first hand, or by noticing brown areas in a neighbors' yard.  In the Southeast, there are four insects that do the most damage to turf grass.  Those include the chinch bug, molecricket, sod webworm, and armyworm.  Although there are other turf-destroying insects, these are the ones that cause the most widespread problems.

In order to make sure insects don't infest and kill your turf, we apply insecticide during the months that they are active.  We not only use the most effective insecticides available, but we also strive to use the ones with the lowest impact on the environment,  

The most common problem that affects the control we get with insecticide is a dry lawn.  Because of the way  the insecticides are formulated, they need water to keep them active.  Usually, we get enough rain to keep the insecticides active, but during the middle of summer when the temperatures are in the 90's or during any prolonged periods f drought, it is very important that your irrigation system is operating correctly and your lawn is getting enough water.

TREATMENT TO PROVIDE THE MOST BENEFIT TO YOUR LAWN,  CH TREATMENT TO PROVIDE A

    zerMission statwellents – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.

Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.

Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
