BirchTurf’s 6-Step Lawn Care Program
Step 1
Early Spring → Awakening Your Lawn & Preventing Weeds
As the growing season begins, your lawn needs an initial boost to recover from winter dormancy. Our early spring treatment delivers nitrogen (N) to promote rapid greening and strong early-season growth, along with a balanced amount of potassium (K) to support root development and disease resistance. This application also includes a pre-emergent herbicide, which creates a barrier to prevent crabgrass and other annual weeds from germinating.
This proactive weed control allows your grass to grow without competition, ensuring a lush and uniform appearance.
Step 2
Mid-Spring → Broadleaf Weed
Control
As temperatures rise, broadleaf weeds such as dandelions, clover, and plantain begin to emerge.
To combat these unwanted invaders, we apply a selective post-emergent herbicide that targets and eliminates broadleaf weeds without harming your grass.
This treatment ensures that your turf remains weed-free while allowing the existing grass to spread and thicken naturally.
Step 3
Late Spring → Continued Nutrient Support & Weed Prevention
To maintain steady growth and reinforce early weed control, we apply another round of fertilizer with a slow-release nitrogen source.
This treatment ensures that your lawn continues to receive the nutrients it needs without excessive top growth, reducing the need for frequent mowing. The potassium content further enhances stress resistance, helping the grass prepare for the heat of summer.
Additionally, we reapply pre-emergent weed control to maintain protection against late-sprouting crabgrass and other stubborn weeds.
Step 4
Early Summer → Pest Protection & Turf Resilience
During the summer months, pests can pose a significant threat to your lawn. This step includes an advanced insect control treatment designed to eliminate lawn-damaging pests such as grubs, chinch bugs, and fall armyworms before they cause significant damage. We also apply a phosphite-based supplement, which strengthens root structures and enhances the plant’s natural defenses against environmental stress.
This step helps your lawn withstand heat and drought conditions while remaining thick and healthy.
Step 5
Early Fall → Recovery & Root Development
After enduring the summer heat, your lawn needs essential nutrients to recover and prepare for the cooler months ahead. Our early fall fertilizer contains a balanced nitrogen-to-potassium ratio, providing the grass with the necessary nutrients to rebuild root mass, strengthen cell walls, and improve overall density. Potassium is particularly important in this stage, as it enhances the plant’s ability to resist disease and recover from summer stress.
This application encourages deep rooting, which improves drought tolerance and overall lawn health.
Step 6
Late Fall → Preparing for Winter & Improving Soil Health
The final step of our program focuses on fortifying your lawn for the winter months. We apply a specialized fertilizer with a slightly lower nitrogen content to promote root growth rather than excessive top growth. This allows the grass to store energy for a strong comeback in the spring. Additionally, we incorporate a high-quality lime treatment, which helps regulate soil pH, improve nutrient availability, and enhance microbial activity.
Maintaining proper soil pH ensures that your lawn can efficiently absorb the nutrients it needs, leading to long-term health and vitality.
Eight Key Benefits of Our Lawn Weed Control & Fertilizer Program
Here are the eight key benefits of our Lawn Weed Control & Fertilizer Program for your grass:
- Grass Naturally Outcompetes Weeds: A strong, healthy lawn is the foundation of effective weed control. Providing grass with essential nutrients allows it to grow thick and resilient, naturally outcompeting weeds. A well-maintained stand of turf reduces competition for sunlight, water, and nutrients, ensuring a lush, vibrant lawn while preventing invasive weeds from taking over.
- Stronger Root Development: Adequate fertilization supports the development of a strong and extensive root system. A healthy root system enhances the grass’ ability to absorb water and nutrients from the soil, making it more resilient to environmental stressors.
- Color and Appearance Is Enhanced: A well-maintained, weed-free lawn improves curb appeal and provides a more enjoyable outdoor space. Properly fertilized lawns exhibit a lush, green color, improving the overall aesthetic appeal of your lawn. Nitrogen, in particular, contributes to vibrant and robust foliage.
- Nutrient Supply Is Increased: Our Lawn Weed Control & Fertilizer Program provides essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Playing key roles in processes like photosynthesis, root development, and overall plant metabolism.
- Growth Is Stimulated: Fertilizers stimulate grass growth by providing the necessary nutrients for cell division and elongation. This results in a thicker and more dense turf, helping to crowd out weeds and prevent soil erosion.
- Stress and Disease Resistance Is Increased: Well-fertilized lawns are better equipped to resist environmental stress, such as drought or extreme temperatures. Additionally, a healthy lawn is more resistant to diseases and pests.
- Growth Is Consistent and Balanced: BirchTurf uses low-impact, sustainable fertilizers that are formulated to provide a balanced ratio of nutrients, ensuring that the grass receives the appropriate amount of nutrients in order to be healthy.
- Seasonal Adaptation: Different formulations of fertilizers are available for specific seasons and growth stages. Seasonal fertilization helps meet the changing nutritional needs of the grass throughout the year, promoting optimal health.
