Why Lawn Fertilization Matters for Turf Health
Give Your Lawn the Strength it Needs to Thrive All Year.
Healthy turf starts with consistent feeding. Our fertilization program strengthens roots, thickens grass, and enhances color while helping your lawn resist weeds and pests. Every plan includes crabgrass prevention and both pre- and post-emergent weed control, giving your lawn the best chance to thrive through Ohio’s changing seasons.
With over 20 years of experience, we’ve fine-tuned this program to match the specific needs of Ohio lawns season after season.
Our 7-Step Lawn Fertilization Schedule
A Plan Designed for Your Lawn, Not a Cookie-Cutter Program
Your lawn receives a seasonal application every 4 to 6 weeks. Each visit provides the right balance of nutrients, weed control, and monitoring for long-term turf health.
Step 1
Early spring feeding with pre-emergent crabgrass control to jumpstart growth and protect against weeds before they sprout.
Step 2
A nitrogen boost for vibrant color plus post-emergent weed control to target broadleaf weeds already growing.
Step 3
Balanced summer fertilizer to strengthen turf during heat stress, with optional grub prevention and insect monitoring.
Step 4
Mid-summer feeding and weed control to keep grass thick and healthy through the hottest months.
Step 5
Fertilizer, spot weed treatments, and another insect inspection for continued turf protection.
Step 6
Late summer nitrogen to help your lawn recover from summer stress, plus ongoing weed control.
Step 7
A winterizer treatment that builds root strength, prepares turf for dormancy, and ensures nutrients carry into spring.

Lawn Fertilization FAQs
-
Our program includes seven seasonal applications spaced 4–6 weeks apart. This schedule gives your turf consistent nutrients and protection through Ohio’s changing seasons.
-
We recommend mowing your lawn one to two days before your scheduled treatment. Avoid mowing on the day of service, so the fertilizer and weed control products can properly reach the soil and turf.
-
For best results, water your lawn lightly within 24 hours of treatment (unless it rains). This helps the nutrients soak into the soil. Keep kids and pets off the lawn until it’s completely dry.
-
It’s best to wait 24–48 hours before mowing. This allows the fertilizer and weed control products time to work without being disrupted.
-
Every visit includes fertilizer, pre- and post-emergent weed control, and monitoring for turf health issues. Optional services, like grub prevention, are added only if needed.
-
Fertilization strengthens your turf, which makes it harder for weeds to grow, but weeds still require ongoing control. That’s why weed control is built into every visit.
-
Most homeowners notice a greener, thicker lawn within the first few applications. Long-term results come from consistent care season after season.
-
No. Our program is hassle-free and flexible. You’ll get honest recommendations and clear communication without pressure or long-term commitments.
