Our Annual 7-Treatment Lawn Care Program
We can start your lawn care service anytime during the year, but your results may vary depending on the time of year you start. We recommend a full year of treatment for optimal results.
Late Winter Treatment
Winter treatments include fertilizers and potassium to develop a strong root system which helps the turf maintain its health during winter dormancy. We also apply post-emergent weed controls to knock back any existing weeds. This is a vital treatment for having a beautiful, healthy lawn in the spring.
Early Spring Treatment
This application includes pre-emergent weed controls to prevent crabgrass and other common weeds in the coming months. This treatment also includes post-emergents to control and knock back existing weeds. We highly recommended core aeration for warm-season lawns at the start of the growing season.
Late Spring Treatment
Late spring and summer treatments include more pre-emergent materials to provide extended weed control through the growing season. These treatments also include post-emergent weed controls to kill existing weeds, and specialty fertilizers for overall turf health and color.
Summer Treatment
Late Summer Treatment
Summer applications will include more post-emergent treatments for existing weeds where needed. We will continue using specialty fertilizers to ensure a thick, green lawn.
Fall Treatment
Fall and early winter treatments include pre- and post-emergent applications designed to control invasive winter annual weeds such as poa annua, henbit, and others. These treatments also include root fertilizers to maintain turf health during winter dormancy, making your turf much stronger in the spring.
Winter Treatment
This treatment includes pre- and post-emergent applications designed to prevent future weeds and control invasive winter annual weeds like bittercress and chickweed.
Late Winter Treatment
Early Spring Treatment
This treatment includes treating both existing and future weeds with the application of pre- and post-emergent weed control. We also apply our custom-blended fertilizer for overall lawn health and color.
Late Spring Treatment
Late spring and summer treatments include post-emergents to reduce the number of existing weeds and custom-blended fertilizers to maintain turf health.
Summer Treatment
Yep, more post-emergent weed controls are applied to control and kill existing weeds. We also apply custom-blended fertilizers to maintain the overall turf health. Please note: Brown Patch Fungus is a common disease found in Fescue lawns in late spring and summer. Unfortunately, this disease isn't controlled with our regular Lawn Care Program but can be prevented and controlled with a Fungicide program.
Late Summer Treatment
This treatment includes more post-emergents to knock back existing weeds. We highly recommend Core Aeration and Overseeding for Fescue lawns from late August through October. Most Fescue lawns will lose up to 30% of the turf during hot summers in the south and Core Aeration and Seeding help to re-establish any bare or thin areas in the lawn affected by summer heat and disease.
Fall Treatment
This treatment is focused on new seed establishment and turf recovery from the hot weather stresses of summer. We will apply a balanced starter fertilizer to provide the nutrients required to bring seedlings to maturity. Weed controls are withheld until new seedlings are well-developed and can survive treatment.
Winter Treatment
In this treatment, we'll apply more slow-release fertilizer providing the necessary nutrients for new grass growth. Weed controls are withheld until new seedlings are well-developed and can survive treatment.
Customized Lawn Programs
Turf Masters combines properly timed treatments of pre- and post-emergent weed control with expert fertilization and chemical know-how. This expertise coupled with other customized services will give your lawn exactly what it needs for optimal health and color.

General Lawn Care FAQs
Does it matter when I start a lawn care program?
You can begin your lawn care program at any time during the year; however, we recommend giving our program a full year of service to see optimal results. This allows your lawn to receive all 7 treatments and reap the benefits of each.
Why is fertilization important?
All lawns need proper and timely nutrients to stay healthy. While your lawn will receive certain nutrients, such as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, on its own, it needs other nutrients, too. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are nutrients our professional fertilization can provide for a healthy and dense turf.
How often & what time of day should I water my lawn?
In general, lawns require at least 1 inch of water per week to stay healthy. To find out if you are watering your lawn enough, place an empty tuna or cat food can outside on your lawn before your water system turns on. Time how long it takes to fill up the tuna can--then you'll know how long you need to water.
Irrigation should be done early in the morning rather than in the evening. The best time is 3am to 10am. Watering in the middle fo the day can increase the chances of fungal diseases.
Can I DIY my lawn care?
Sure. Some homeowners care for their lawn on their own. With professional service, we apply the correct product in the appropriate amount at the right time for optimal results. Many homeowners say the time and money savings of professional lawn care is worth hiring a professional.
What is drought damage?
Drought damage occurs when a lawn receives too little water. Lawns require at least one inch of water per week to stay healthy. If your lawn does not receive one inch of water per week from rainfall, you will need to water it. Use a rain gauge to help determine if your lawn is receiving enough water. The best way to treat drought damage is to prevent it by ensuring your lawn receives enough water. If your lawn shows symptoms of drought and you have Bermuda or Zoysia grass (or other warm-season lawns), proper watering and fertilization will help it recover. If you have cool-season grass like Fescue, you need to have a core aeration and seeding treatment the following Fall to fully recover.
How do I take care of my grass during the winter months?
It is important to receive pre-emergent treatment in the fall and winter. Winter weeds make your lawn look its worst when the turf is dormant. Cold weather forces warm-season turf like Bermuda and Zoysia grass into dormancy. Dormancy is natural during the winter months. Unfortunately, weeds don't take a break. Cold weather brings out a new crop of winter weeds. Not only are these weeds unsightly, but they can also displace desirable turf grass and ruin your lawn.
