About The Process

• Pre-Emergent Weed Prevention:
  Attack the problem before it begins. Pre-emergent weed control short-circuits the germination cycle to stop them before they start! For best results, apply before the end of April.

• Turf Fertilization:
  Each seasonal change requires a specially targeted fertilizer composition to promote the health of your lawn. Northern Colorado is considered a cool-season growing area. The two most popular turf grass species in our region are bluegrass and fescue, but you can easily find ryegrass, buffalograss, and other native prairie grasses being grown domestically. After the snow melts, the growing season begins with a flush of growth in the spring, followed by a slow growing summer, and a final period of growth in the fall.

  Your turf-grass flourishes during the spring and fall growing months, but it must also endure the harsh summer and winter temperatures. A healthy lawn receives the nutrients it needs to thrive in our varying climate conditions. Lawn Care Plus provides specialized fertilizers to give your lawn an advantage each season.

  • (N) Nitrogen encourages blade growth and chlorophyll formation. Nitrogen is the primary component in most fertilizers and is the most potent mineral returned to the lawn from mulched clippings.
    • Each of our blends contain nitrogen, but it is most prominent in our spring and summer blends.
  • (P) Phosphorous is common in store brand fertilizers because it helps roots establish when growing from seed or with freshly installed sod, but excess runoff promotes harmful aquatic weed growth.
    • Our low-phosphorous blends contain only enough of the mineral to replace what is naturally lost.
  • (K) Potassium fortifies the plant’s stress resistance, drought defense, and extreme temperature tolerance.
    • We use potassium throughout the year, but it is most important during the hot summer months.
  • (Fe) Iron treatment is necessary when the mineral is not readily available to the plant. Colorado clay is naturally alkaline (iron rich), but the mineral is locked up and unusable to the plant in the hardened soil.
    • We apply iron in the summer to treat chlorosis and enhance the natural green color of your lawn.
  • Crabgrass Pre-emergent
    • This turf-grass pretender is an annual species which pops up every spring. Our spring fertilizer contains a targeted ingredient designed to specifically prevent crabgrass from reappearing.

• Post-Emergent Weed Control (Turf):
  Homeowners agree that one of the main concerns in lawn care is preventing unsightly invaders. The first line of defense to guard against weed problems is maintaining a robust lawn that can fight off intruders. A lush, healthy lawn can keep out weeds more easily than a stressed, patchy lawn. When the weeds do make it through, we offer a turf-friendly synthetic weed control application that can be safely applied to your lawn.

• Post-Emergent Weed Control (Landscape)
  Your landscaped areas can be a safe buffer zone, or a harboring enemy if not cared for properly. Keeping the boundaries free of any weed problem will reduce the spread to your lawn. Our 5-Step Total Property Treatment Package targets the weeds in your landscaped areas, driveways, and walkways.
