WEED CONTROL & FERTILIZATION PROGRAM

(February/March) – A first round of pre and post emergent weed treatment as soil temperatures start to warm up exiting winter and approaching spring. This will help to eliminate existing weeds in your lawn while preventing new weeds from germinating.

 

(April/May)  – A second round of pre and post emergent as spring starts turning towards summer. First insect and disease treatment to control common pests such as chinch bugs, mites, and army worms, and diseases such as brown patch and take-all rot.

​

(April/May) - First round of fertilizer using a fertilizer with all three primary nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium). Weed/insect/disease control as needed.

​

(Late May-June) - The best way to deter turf-damaging white grubs is to prevent them from having the opportunity to flourish in the first place. We treat for white grubs in late May-June before their typical hatching period in mid-July - August.

 

(June/July) – Second round of fertilizer, with a focus on nitrogen. Phosphorus application should usually be low to non-existent during the summer months. Weed/insect/disease control as needed (temperature permitting).

 

(August/September) – Third round of fertilizer, again focusing on nitrogen. If it is too hot and dry to fertilize, we will give your lawn a dose of iron instead. Weed/insect/disease control as needed (temperature permitting).

 

(September) – Fall pre emergent application. This one is really important. As soon as summer starts showing its first signs of turning to fall in North Texas, it's time to put down pre emergent to prevent those pesky grassy weeds such as dallisgrass, crabgrass, and bluestem that flourish around this time of year. It's also time for another insect and disease treatment to control the mites, army worms, and brown patch that love to show up during this time of year.

​

(October) – Our fourth and final round of fertilizer for the season. The focus here will be on stimulating root growth throughout the winter months using a potassium-heavy fertilizer.

 

(October/November) – The fourth and final pre and post emergent treatment of the season. This will fortify the application made in early September and is very important to guard against winter annual weeds such as poa annua, chickweed, and henbit so that your lawn will look good all winter and be ready to go come spring! We will also apply another round of disease control to protect against diseases that your lawn becomes more susceptible to during cooler, wetter weather.

​

* Every Visit * - Post-emergent spot treatment (as-needed) tailored to control the weeds that are present in your lawn. Your lawn will be inspected for weeds upon each visit and will be treated with additional post emergent treatment as-needed, which means if you’re a mowing customer with Paul’s Lawn Care, we’ll be inspecting your lawn very regularly.

​

*Treatments are for lawn only. Flower beds, rock beds, tree rings, trees, shrubs, etc. are not included.*
