Weed control and fertilization timed for Walker-area lawns

A thin lawn is a weed invitation. Bare dirt and sun, and something will sprout. I feed on a schedule so the grass gets dense enough to shade trouble out, then I treat what slips through. Slow-release granular plus targeted liquid — not a cheap nitrogen spike that looks great for two weeks and crashes.

The local list is crabgrass, clover, chickweed, spurge, and Virginia buttonweed, which shrugs off most store sprays. Timing beats brute force. Late-winter pre-emergent stops a lot of it in the soil before you ever see it.

Soil conditions vary from yard to yard. A soil test tells us whether lime or a nutrient adjustment is needed; lime is not a routine fix for every lawn. Keep children and pets away during an application and follow every re-entry instruction on the product label. For sprays, that includes waiting until the treated area is dry and any longer label restriction has passed.

What You Get

• Late-winter pre-emergent to stop crabgrass before it starts.
• Treatment choices matched to the grass, weeds, and site conditions.
• Lime only when a soil test shows it is needed.
• Children and pets return only after the product-label restrictions are met.
