Fertilizer Spray Service

We apply a liquid fertilizer that is blended by our licensed Technicians for the perfect seasonally appropriate ratio of nutrients. This keeps the fertilizer exactly where it belongs and allows effective control of moss, weeds and insects. The best defense against weeds and moss is a well-fertilized, dense stand of turf.

Our equipment is calibrated seasonally and cleaned between each Round by our licensed applicators.

We add Moss Control to fertilizer applications in the Winter months when lawns are thin, wet and shady. Moss Control is ongoing so we apply it twice per year. An additional bonus of Moss Control (Iron) is the instant green-up that is not temperature dependent.

Our Spring fertilizer applications include a Slow Release Color Boost. This adds to the general health of the lawn, enhances lawn appearance, and helps transition from Winter into the growing season.

We add Weed Control to our fertilizer application in the Summer months. This is the perfect time for controlling weeds as warm and dry weather helps to ensure an effective application. Weed Control is ongoing so we apply it twice per year.

Timing is everything when we add Insect Control our Fall application to treat for European Crane Fly and Chafer Beetle. The Crane Fly larvae overwinter and feed on the grass roots and crowns. During this time they develop a thick jacket which earns them the nickname “leatherback” and makes them difficult to kill. Rather than waiting until this protection develops and your lawn becomes sparse or completely consumed, we can apply a very small amount of Insect Control to knock down the population when they are easy to kill.

We offer a total of 6 applications per year:

  • Round 1: Winter Fertilizer with Moss Control
  • Round 2: Slow Release Spring Fertilizer with Color Boost
  • Round 3: Summer Fertilizer with Weed Control
  • Round 4: Summer Fertilizer with Weed Control
  • Round 5: Fall Fertilizer with Insect Control (European Cranefly & Chafer Beetle)
  • Round 6: Winter Fertilizer with Moss Control

After every application we recommend staying off the lawn for 2-4 hours to give the fertilizer time to dry/make its way down to the root zone. This prevents the risk of transfer as well as allowing the lawn time to absorb the nutrients.
