Fertilization & Weed Control

A 6-step seasonal program that feeds your turf, stops crabgrass, and knocks out dandelions and clover.

Our 6-Step Program

  1. Early Spring: Crabgrass pre-emergent plus a slow-release feeding to wake up the lawn.
  2. Late Spring: Broadleaf weed control for dandelions, clover, and plantain plus balanced nutrition.
  3. Early Summer: Preventive grub control and a summer-safe feeding.
  4. Late Summer: Spot weed control and stress-recovery nutrients.
  5. Early Fall: Recovery fertilizer timed for root growth — the most important feeding of the year.
  6. Late Fall: Winterizer to store energy for a fast, green spring.

What to Expect

We flag every treatment, leave a service note with what was applied, and tell you when it’s safe for kids and pets to return to the lawn. Most customers see noticeably thicker, greener turf within the first season.

Why It Works

  • Products and timing matched to Northwest Ohio cool-season grasses
  • Free service calls between visits if weeds pop back up
  • Pairs perfectly with core aeration and overseeding in the fall

Feeding lawns responsibly near Lake Erie

Everything in the Toledo area drains to the Maumee River and Lake Erie, and nutrient runoff is a big part of why the lake sees harmful algal blooms in summer. Good lawn care here means putting down the right product at the right time and in the right amount — never before a heavy storm, never on frozen ground, and always swept off driveways and sidewalks so it ends up in the lawn instead of the storm drain. A thick, well-fed lawn also filters runoff better than thin, patchy turf.

Our program is built around the cool-season grasses that grow in Northwest Ohio and the clay soil most of them sit on. Crabgrass pre-emergent goes down when the soil warms in spring, and the most important feeding of the year happens in early fall, when roots grow fastest.

Pricing

Program pricing is based on your lawn’s square footage. You can sign up for the full year or pick individual rounds.

Frequently asked questions

When should crabgrass prevention go down in the Toledo area?
Typically in early to mid spring, as soil temperatures warm — often around when forsythia blooms. Timing it right is the difference between a clean summer lawn and a crabgrass problem.
Is the fertilizer safe for kids and pets?
Yes, when used as directed. We flag treated lawns and let you know when it's safe to go back out, typically once the application has dried.
Can I just do one or two treatments instead of the full program?
Yes. The full program gives the best results, but you can choose individual rounds — early fall is the one we recommend most.
Is fertilization & weed control guaranteed?
Yes. 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed. If something isn't right, tell us and we'll come back and make it right.
