Fertilizing your lawn is very important in maintaining a lush green lawn. By keeping the lawn dense, it is less prone to weeds and more likely to endure the summer months when it is hot and dry. Nitrogen is the main ingredient in fertilizer that gives your lawn that dark green color. It must be replaced several times a year to maintain color because it is not held by the soil like phosphorus and potassium.

Keeping your lawn dense may not always keep the weeds out of your lawn and it is important to apply a weed control product throughout the growing season. A liquid form, post-emergent spray is most affective in controlling those nasty summer weeds like, dandelions, clover, spurge, and creeping Charlie.

Below is the list of applications that Doug’s applies each growing season.

EARLY SPRING APPLICATION: A granular fertilizer to stimulate growth and deepen lawn color and crabgrass preventer to control crabgrass and foxtail.

LATE SPRING APPLICATION: A liquid phosphorus free fertilizer to maintain color and thicken turf and a blanket broadleaf weed control for dandelions and other broadleaf weeds.

SUMMER APPLICATION: A liquid phosphorus free fertilizer to maintain color and thicken turf during summer stress time and a spot broadleaf weed control for tough summer weeds.

EARLY FALL APPLICATION: A liquid phosphorus free fertilizer to maintain color and thicken turf and promote root development and a blanket broadleaf weed control for dandelions and other broadleaf weeds.

LATE FALL APPLICATION: A granular fertilizer to help your lawn over winter and get a quick start in the following spring.

A 10% discount is offered to customers who take a five or four step application program if the customer prepays and returns his or her contract by April 1st of that calendar year.

Doug’s also offers Insect Control applications for those who are interested. Please contact us for further details.
For best results mow your lawn at 3 – 3 ½ inches. Cutting too low can cause grass to turn brown during hot, dry periods. It also allows crabgrass and other weeds an opportunity to germinate. At least once a month sharpen your mower blades due to a dull blade tears the grass blades causing stress to your lawn. It is important to mow often especially when leaving your clippings lay. A good rule of thumb is not to cut more than 1/3 of the plant at a time. Don’t mow in hot dry weather. If your lawn is drying out, water it and allow time for it to recover before mowing or do not mow at all. A tall and green lawn is better than a short brown lawn.
