Weed Control
For A Lush Lawn
Targeted Weed Control & Prevention
Weeds are more than an eyesore—they compete with your grass for water, nutrients, and sunlight. A single dandelion can produce seeds that germinate for years, turning a small problem into a yard-wide invasion. Our comprehensive weed control program combines precise timing, professional-grade herbicides, and expert application to eliminate existing weeds and prevent new ones from taking root.

Our Annual 8-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 and early spring treatments pre- and post-emergent weed control. This will help prevent future weeds and knock back any existing weeds in the lawn. 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 during the summer months and post-emergent weed controls to control existing weeds. All applications are important to see the results we're able to provide with our program, but you don't want to miss any of the pre-emergent applications.
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 specialty fertilizers and post-emergent materials for overall turf health and color and knocking back existing weeds.
Summer Treatment
Late Summer Treatment
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 that, much stronger in the spring.
Winter Treatment
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
This treatment includes more pre-emergents for extended crabgrass and other weed control and post-emergents to reduce the number of existing weeds. We also apply customer-blended fertilizers to maintain the proper soil pH.
Summer Treatment
Yep, more pre- and post-emergent weed control is applied for future and current weed control. We also apply customer-blended fertilizers to maintain the proper soil pH. 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 pre-emergents for extended weed control and post-emergents to reduce the number of existing weeds. Core Aeration and Overseeding is highly recommended 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 includes more pre- and post-emergent weed control applications. Core Aeration and Overseeding is recommended.
Winter Treatment
This treatment is focused on new seed establishment and turf recovery from the hot weather stresses of summer. A balanced starter fertilization followed by a slow-release fertilizer are applied to provide the nutrients required to bring seedlings to maturity. 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.

Weed Control FAQs
What's the difference between pre-emergent and post-emergent weed control?
Pre-emergent herbicides create a barrier in your soil that prevents weed seeds from germinating. Think of it as a shield—it only works before the weed sprouts. Post-emergent herbicides kill weeds that are already growing. Both are essential. Pre-emergent prevents future problems; post-emergent solves current ones. We use both strategically throughout the year.
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 that 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 from 3 am to 10 am. Watering in the middle of 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 are worth hiring a professional.
Why do I need weed control if I mow regularly?
Mowing doesn't kill weeds—it just keeps them trimmed. Many weeds reproduce below the mowing line through roots, seeds, or runners. Some weeds actually spread faster when mowed. Without actual weed control, you're just managing symptoms, not solving the problem.
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.
