April Lawn Care<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Early spring is the best time to get a head start on lawn and garden care! As our lawns begin to show, we’re all excited to see lush green grass growing! April is the best, and in some cases, the only time to weed, fertilize, and seed your lawn!<\/p>\n

Crabgrass Control & Fertilizing: <\/strong>Late-April to Early-May is the the only time <\/strong>to apply pre-emergent Crabgrass Preventer to your lawn! Shaw Turf Food with Dimension<\/strong> is a professional-grade, dual-purpose product containing both a crabgrass preventer and the appropriate amount of fertilizer to aid in grass growth while creating a healthy, crabgrass-free lawn! Because it is phosphorus-free, this product is safe to apply at lake homes. Available in our retail center for DIY lawn care, the 50lb bag will cover 12,500 sq. ft.<\/p>\n

We also provide professional fertilization and lawn care services!<\/strong> Call us at 715-485-3131 to sign up for a fertilization and\/or lawn care program that’s right for you!<\/p>\n

Watering and Irrigation: <\/strong>As your lawn is uncovered, you may notice winter damage from salt used on driveways and walkways. To restore the health of your soil and grass, flush the area to give your lawn a deep watering once the weather warms. If brown spots persist, apply Gypsum<\/strong> and consider adding seed to those areas.<\/p>\n

As grass continues to grow, ensure your lawn receives adequet and consistent moisture. Through our professional landscape services, we install and maintain conventional irrigation systems and lake-pump systems to promote greener, lusher lawns. We also offer irrigation start-up and shut-down services. Call us at 715-485-3131 for more information!<\/p>\n
