#1 Spring Application
The spring application consists of a Dimension 19-0-6, 30% slow release fertilizer. This application has crabgrass pre emergent to stop the crabgrass from even developing. There is also a slow release fertilizer that keeps your lawn looking green. Also during this application if the broadleaf weeds are starting to develop we will spray a three way herbicide to kill off the weeds. The spring application will be applied when the ground temp is right which can be anywhere from April to May. Another note is after the Dimension is applied to the yard, you have to wait 12 weeks before seeding the yard. The Dimension will stop the seed for germinating if applied earlier.

#2 Early Summer Application
This application consists of a 32-0-10 fertilizer that is applied to the lawn in May or June depending on the date of the first application. The application had a 75% slow release to help the lawn prepare for the summer heat. Also in this application there is a high amount of potassium to help improve plant stress. Another thing in this fertilizer is 2% to help keep the lawn a nice color of green. We also spot spray for broadleaf weeds that might come up especially along the curb and driveway.

#3 Late Summer Application
The late summer application is a 24-0-11 fertilizer that is applied in July or August. This application also has some iron in it to keep the green color. Another benefit of this application is that it includes some nitrogen to keep the grass growing also helps in keeping the grass healthy during the summer heat. This application also includes spot spraying of weeds.

#4 Fall Application
The fall application is the last one of the year before the grass goes dominant during the winter months. This application has a high amount of nitrogen to get the grass nice and healthy before the winter takes it toll on it. Also this application is a 75% slow release to help the grass come back strong the next spring. The fall we also apply a liquid herbicide to kill of the broadleaf weeds to help prevent them from coming up the following spring.
