For most of our customers, we provide a five-step program that combines three granular slow release and two liquid treatments of premium turf fertilizer, with control products included for surface-feeding insects, broadleaf weeds and the prevention of crabgrass and summer annual weeds. We begin in the early spring, thereafter your treatments are applied approximately five to seven weeks apart with your last treatment coming late September or October.
