FERTILIZING PROGRAM  |  FIELD MOWING  |  MAINTENANCE

Let us create a customized residential/commercial landscape maintenance package to meet all your needs:

1. Crabgrass pre-emergent (March-April):
   Early spring: Pre- emergent crabgrass and fertilizer to prevent crabgrass germination and provide a green up of lawn from winter months.


2. Fertilizing with broadleaf weed Control (May-June) Spring:
   Broadleaf weeds pop in the Spring . Proper fertilization will boost grass growth and help it to thicken for a healthier lawn. Weed and feed application of liquid broadleaf control for color and density will be applied


3. Summer Turf Fertilization (June-July) Summer:
   Proper fertilizing is necessary for optimal turf growth and health. Continual lawn feeding timed for necessary nutrients prior to summer stress is applied.


4. Fertilizing with broadleaf weed control (Sept-Oct) Early fall:
   For a less stressful spring, be sure to address weed population weeds that are not taken care of at this time are the weeds that pop first in the spring! Continual lawn feeding for color and recovery from summer stress and broadleaf weed voids will be done at this time.


5. Fall Turf Fertilizer (Oct-Nov) Late fall:
   Application of timed released fertilizer to promote root growth and nutrient storage for spring green up.

Common Problems in Lawns:

Broadleaf Weeds are perennials that return every year. Examples of broad leaf weeds are clover, chickweed, dandelions, and thistle. A dense, thick, healthy lawn is the best way to reduce broad leaf weeds in a yard. Most broadleaf weeds need to be killed with a broadleaf herbicide, contact Tomasello's Landscaping for more information.

Crabgrass is an annual grass that begins to show in late June and thrives in hot dry conditions. Crabgrass turns purple in color later in the season but dies out in the fall. To prevent crabgrass, a pre-emergent should be applied in early spring.

Grub damage in lawns appears as large irregular sections of brown turf that detaches without effort. Unlike turf damage by drought or excessive fertilizer turf will peel away like carpet. Grub control should be applied in July or August when adult larva is near the surface.
