Summer
This application includes a general-purpose insecticide to control surface feeding insects. It also includes a post emergent crabgrass application and broadleaf weed control. If you have a small amount of nutsedge we will spot spray at no cost. If nutsedge or other grassy weeds are widespread throughout your lawn it will need an additional, separate application to treat it. The technician will provide you with pricing if it is determined you need the additional application. We will also do an evaluation of your turf. We may make suggestions to improve your turf such as aeration, seeding and lime. A soil sample may be taken if warranted.​
