Spring Lawn Care Tips

Spring is the time for crabgrass control and spring lawn seeding for shaded areas. Fall is the time for lawn seeding for areas that receive full sun. Seeding full sun areas in the spring exposes very young grass to summer heat and drought conditions and potentially allows crabgrass germination in these areas.

Crabgrass control tips

Spring is the time of year when we have the ability to prevent crabgrass seed from germinating during the summer months. Optimum crabgrass control will be achieved with an application of “Barricade” crabgrass control during the early spring.  Timing of this application should be between March 1 and April 15th in the Baltimore area. This time frame will ensure barrier establishment prior to potential unwanted crabgrass germination. Please note if you are considering spring seeding, avoid applying a pre-emergent crabgrass control to these areas as it will limit desirable seed germination also.

Grub Control tips:

Preventative Grub control will be available in late May-June. No need to worry about Grub activity in your lawn. With one application we will prevent Grub activity for the entire season. Merit Grub control rated #1 in control.  Guaranteed Results.

Spring lawn seeding (Shade) tips:

For best results for spring lawn seeding, use a shade mixture of "Red Fescue, Chewings Fescue & Hard Fescue." Reminder, soil preparation and moisture are a must to promote seed germination. Plan to seed in early April when soil temperatures will allow seed to sprout.

Horticultural Oil Tips:
Insects are over wintering on your trees and shrubs. To help prevent insect activity during the spring season, consider a March application of Horticultural Oil to control Mites, Scale and other insects prior to egg hatching.
