August
Target broadleaf weeds as many thrive in the warmer climates of this transitional zone*, nutsedge control* (common problem at this time of the season—warm, damp areas), crabgrass control* (high temperatures can break down preventatives in the soil prematurely).
September
Balanced fertilizer to encourage recovery as well as healthy, strong roots, weed control to maintain a uniform appearance.*
Aeration and overseeding with a premium
fescue blend for maximum germination.
October
Lime to correct the pH balance of the soil, weed control to maintain a healthy appearance.*
November
High nitrogen fertilizer (winterizer), allows the root zone to store food through the winter months, encourages healthy spring green up.
*Weed control is used as necessary. A healthy lawn with proper cultural practices implemented creates a more weed-free, healthy environment for all of us.
