Plant & Turf Health

Our turf health program is a six-application, season-long fertilization and weed-control plan designed for Kansas City area lawns. It includes an early-spring feeding with crabgrass preventer, spring broadleaf weed control, a late-spring slow-release fertilizer with grub control, a summer feeding with a micronutrient bio-stimulant, a late-summer blanket weed control, and a beneficial late-fall winterizing application to strengthen roots for the next season.

Most Kansas City area cool-season lawns thrive on about six professional applications per year, spaced across the growing season from early spring through late fall. This schedule provides balanced nutrition, targeted weed control, crabgrass and grub prevention, and a critical fall winterizing feeding — building thick, green, resilient turf that resists weeds, pests, and summer stress far better than one or two DIY treatments.

Crabgrass preventer should be applied in early spring, before soil temperatures reach about 55 degrees and crabgrass seeds germinate — typically mid-March to April in the Kansas City area. Our first turf application of the season includes a crabgrass pre-emergent along with an early-spring feeding, timing it precisely so you stop crabgrass before it starts rather than fighting it all summer.

Broadleaf weeds such as dandelions and clover are best controlled with properly timed post-emergent applications combined with a thick, well-fed lawn that crowds weeds out. Our program includes dedicated spring broadleaf weed control and a late-summer blanket weed treatment, and our technicians identify each weed type to apply the right control at the right time for lasting results.

Grub control is a preventive treatment that stops beetle larvae from feeding on your grass roots, which can cause large brown, dead patches that pull up like carpet. We include grub control with our late-spring/early-summer application to protect your lawn before damage occurs. If you’ve had grub problems or notice increased bird, skunk, or raccoon digging, preventive control is strongly recommended.

Yes. Our flea and tick control program treats your lawn to reduce fleas, ticks, and other common insects, lowering the risk of them entering your home and nesting in carpets, rugs, and furniture. Regular applications through the warm months help protect your family and pets, making your yard a safer, more comfortable place to spend time.

Our tree and shrub program keeps your ornamental plants healthy through targeted, plant-specific care based on accurate pest and growth-stage identification. It includes spring shrub fertilization, fall soil fertilization injection, systemic trunk injections, ongoing monitoring, and pest-specific treatments — protecting your investment while minimizing impact on your property and the environment.

A landscape bed pre-emergent program stops weed seeds from germinating in your planting beds, keeping them clean with far less hand-weeding. We apply a pre-emergent to your beds once in spring and again in late summer, which protects the health and appearance of your plantings and keeps your landscaping looking crisp and professionally maintained all season.

The late-fall winterizing application is one of the most beneficial treatments of the entire year because it feeds the roots as your lawn enters dormancy. This strengthens the root system over winter and fuels a faster, thicker, greener green-up the following spring. Skipping the fall feeding is one of the most common reasons lawns look thin and slow to recover after winter.

When applied by trained, licensed professionals following label directions, lawn treatments are designed to be safe for families and pets once the product has dried or the recommended re-entry time has passed. Our technicians apply the right product at the right rate and provide clear guidance on when it’s safe to return to the lawn, prioritizing both effective results and your family’s peace of mind.

A professional program delivers the right products, at the right rate, at precisely the right time — something bagged store products and guesswork rarely achieve. Our licensed technicians tailor each of the six applications to Kansas City’s climate, soil, and seasonal pest and weed pressures, and they spot problems early. The result is a consistently thicker, greener, healthier lawn without the trial-and-error, wasted product, or application mistakes.
