​
• STEP 1 (MID APRIL) Crabgrass control application. Consists of a well balanced, complete fertilizer.
​
• STEP 2 (LATE MAY) Consists of a triple action broadleaf weed controller liquid.
​
• STEP 3 (EARLY JUNE) Consists of an application of slow release Nitrogen fertilizer to feed your lawn keeping it green through the typically dry season. At this time we will spot treat any germinated broadleaf weeds if necessary.
​
• STEP 4 (LATE AUG./ EARLY SEPT.) This application will be a combination of Iron fertilizer (restores deep green color to turf) and triple action broadleaf weed killer. Dry and hot weather causes the lawn to go dormant; loosing its color and thinning out. These conditions promote weed growth. Because the fall season is a natural time for germinated weeds to drop their seeds for the fall season, we will nip future problems in the “bud” by killing them off before their seeds can fall.
​
• STEP 5 (EARLY OCTOBER) Most important application of them all!! Consists of a seasonal fertilizer that is designed to help develop root growth; this will help in the recovery from summer stress, as well as in preparation for the long, hard winter. Also included, is a time-released fertilizer, which will be taken up and stored in the lawn’s roots. This will be available to the root system right away in spring, thus greening and strengthening your lawn earlier in the spring growing season.
Lawn Aeration
Lawn Aeration is the process of perforating the soil with small holes to allow water, air, and nutrients to better penetrate grass roots. This is especially needed in lawns that are experiencing heavy compaction and very weak or shallow root growth. Bluemel's Garden & Landscape Center uses a specialized aerating machine to consistently "puncture" your lawn at the required depth and spacing. The machine leaves behind soil plugs that eventually decompose and filter back into the holes, so there is no need to rake them off or remove them as this is completely normal and an expected part of the process.
​
-
Significantly improves root structure of your lawn
-
Allows much needed oxygen to move into the ground
-
Gives water & nutrients easier access to the roots
-
Encourages roots to grow deeper into the soil
-
Eliminates natural compaction & thatch
-
Greatly impacts the overall health & resilience of your lawn
-
Stronger roots, stronger lawn!
​
Immediately following this process, Bluemel's will then apply lawn fertilizer if necessary as it will now easily reach the roots and begin stimulating new growth. Over-seeding will also be done, especially in areas that have severely thinned out. Results take time but only one application is needed. We highly recommend you implement a 5 step weed & feed program with us to insure continued support and needed attention.
