Fertilizer/Weed Program
A Way To Get Your Grass Greener And Healthier.
1. Enhanced Growth Nutrient Supply: Fertilizers provide essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium that grass needs to grow strong and healthy. Uniform Growth: Regular fertilization ensures consistent growth across your lawn, preventing patchiness and thinning.
2. Improved Color and Density Greener Lawn: Fertilizers help grass achieve a rich, green color by supplying the necessary nutrients for chlorophyll production. Thicker Turf: A well-fertilized lawn grows denser, reducing bare spots and making it more resistant to weeds.
3. Stress Resistance Drought Tolerance: Fertilized grass develops deeper root systems, which can better access water during dry periods. Pest and Disease Resistance: Healthier grass is more resilient against pests and diseases, reducing the need for chemical treatments.
​
4. Soil Health Microbial Activity: Fertilizers can improve soil health by promoting microbial activity, which helps break down organic matter and release nutrients. pH Balance: Certain fertilizers can help adjust the soil pH, making nutrients more available to the grass.
Pre-Emergent Herbicides:
-
Preventive Control: They create a barrier at the soil surface that prevents weed seeds from germinating. This stops weeds before they even start, reducing the need for more intensive weed control later.
-
Reduced Competition: With fewer weeds taking root, your grass or plants face less competition for nutrients, water, and sunlight, leading to healthier growth.
-
Lesser Need for Mechanical Control: Pre-emergent herbicides can reduce the need for labor-intensive methods like tilling and hoeing.
-
Environmental Benefits: By preventing weed growth, they can reduce the need for chemical treatments later on, minimizing environmental impact.
​
Using both pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides can offer several benefits for effective weed control in your lawn
​
Post-Emergent Herbicides:
-
Targeted Weed Control: These herbicides are applied to actively growing weeds, effectively killing them after they have emerged.
-
Selective Weed Management: Many post-emergent herbicides are selective, targeting specific weed species while leaving your desired plants unharmed.
-
Immediate Results: They provide quick results by killing visible weeds, improving the appearance of your lawn or garden immediately.
-
Versatility: Post-emergent herbicides can be used on a variety of weeds, including those that have already established themselves.
