Frequently Asked Questions

In Minnesota, the best time to start fertilizing is mid-to-late April when soil temperatures reach about 55 degrees. We typically begin our first round of applications in late April and continue through October, applying 5-6 treatments throughout the growing season.

We recommend core aeration at least once per year, ideally in the fall (September-October) when Minnesota lawns recover fastest. Heavily compacted soils or high-traffic lawns may benefit from both spring and fall aeration. Aeration helps water, nutrients, and air reach the root zone.

Pre-emergent weed control should be applied in early spring (April) before crabgrass and other annual weeds germinate. Post-emergent treatments for dandelions and broadleaf weeds work best when weeds are actively growing, typically May through September. We include weed control in our standard fertilizing program.

Grub control involves applying a preventive treatment in June or July before grubs hatch and start feeding on your lawn's root system. If you've noticed brown patches that pull up like carpet, you may already have grub damage. Our preventive application protects your lawn for the entire season.

Yes, we use EPA-registered products that are safe when applied as directed. We recommend keeping pets and children off treated areas until the product has dried, which typically takes 1-2 hours depending on weather conditions. We always leave a flag marker so you know when an application has been made.

It depends on the treatment. For granular fertilizer applications, light watering within 24 hours helps activate the product. For liquid weed control treatments, we recommend waiting at least 4-6 hours before watering or mowing to allow the product to be absorbed by the weeds.
