Why You Need to Apply Weed Control & Fertilization to Your AR Lawn
~ A Clean Cut Lawn Care/Cave Springs/Elm Springs/Farmington/Fayetteville/Prairie Grove/Springdale, AR
Even though it’s January and your Arkansas lawn is still dormant, it’s time to plan your yard’s weed control and fertilizer applications for early spring. In Benton and Washington Counties, AR, your yard care season begins in late February.
A Weedy Lawn is Not a Happy Lawn
If your lawn is mostly weeds, it’s a sign that you have an unhealthy one. Indeed, a well-maintained yard will keep out the majority of weeds. Yet, if you don’t fertilize and apply pre-emergent weed control throughout the growing season to your lawn, you’re inviting weeds to take hold and dominate.
At A Clean Cut Lawn Care, LLC, we deliver quality yard care maintenance from February through November.
Here’s how we help you develop a beautiful, green lawn throughout the entire growing season:
- February through March: This starts your early spring season lawn maintenance calendar. We’ll apply our spring pre-emergent application to your lawn to prevent crabgrass and other grassy weeds from taking hold in your AR yard.
- March through April: We’ll apply broadleaf weed control so dandelions and their friends won’t take over your lawn in mid-spring.
- May through June: In early summer, we begin our fertilization program. Why? Because the secret to less weeds is a healthy lawn. Our fertilization program provides the right amount of nitrogen to make your lawn mean and green. We’ll also spot spray those broadleaf weeds too.
- June through July: Your Benton or Washington counties, AR lawn still needs nutrients to continue growing strong and dense. We apply a special blend of fertilizers to your lawn to keep it going through the hot summer months.
- July through August: At this stage, we’ll apply four pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft. dispersed throughout the summer. This blend is designed to give your yard an even schedule of nutrients.
- September through October: It’s time for your yard’s fall broadleaf control application. Oftentimes, broadleaf weeds will reappear as the weather cools in the fall. Our broadleaf herbicides get rid of these reoccurring weeds.
- October through November: During this time period, we reapply pre-emergent weed control to stop winter weeds, such as henbit, in its tracks.
