Our slow-release fertilizer will enhance your lawn by releasing much-needed nutrients to your lawn’s root system without causing rapid top growth. This application is water activated and needs to be watered either by mother nature or manually. Fertilizing your lawn is important in maintaining density, enhancing the color, encouraging root growth, and recovering your lawn from turf damage and seasonal turf stress (such as hot, dry periods). Applying the right fertilizer at the correct time helps turf accumulate and store essential nutrients it needs for proper growth and development.
Preemergent herbicides prevent germinated weed seedlings from becoming established. In some areas of the world, they are used to prevent crabgrass from appearing in lawns. Preemergent herbicides are applied to lawns in the spring and fall, to prevent the germination of weed seeds.
This creates a stronger and longer-lasting barrier to keep away grassy weeds such as crabgrass and foxtail. It is essential to apply these applications in early spring before the germination of these grassy weeds. Proper maintenance of this pre-emergent barrier is key to its longevity. This is done by mowing at no shorter than a three-inch level, so you do not expose the base of the grass blades and make sure to water the lawn properly. Mowing too short and not watering the lawn will cause small cracks in the barrier allowing grassy weeds to emerge.
Weed killers, also called herbicides, and weed preventers are important tools for every gardener. While hand-pulling helps when it's done before the weeds flower, it's better to prevent them from growing in the first place and kill the ones that do pop up down to the roots. P5 will add in weed control to your plan to help your lawn grow healthier.
When it's thick, healthy and emerald green, your lawn is one of the most inviting parts of your home landscape. But when your turf is brown and sickly due to pest invasion, it quickly loses its appeal. Learning about the various pests that threaten your grass – and then arming yourself with an effective treatment plan – will help ensure your lawn stays healthy and beautiful.
