CRABGRASS PRE-EMERGENT

Your first line of defense in the beginning of the season. Crabgrass can spread more rapidly than many other weeds and is also a lot harder to get control of once it has germinated. Our crabgrass pre-emergent application will prevent crabgrass from germinating in the early spring through late summer. This treatment is applied twice during the season to keep your lawn crabgrass-free.

‍

BROAD-LEAF WEED CONTROL

There are over 100 types of broad-leaf weeds. During the season, we use a range of selective weed controls to treat your lawn on every visit. This should keep your lawn weed-free year round. Lawn Buddies only applies premium DEP/EPA approved broadleaf weed control on your lawn. Our turf specialist will apply broadleaf weed control over the entire lawn early in the season to help prevent weeds from germinating. This application is extremely important during the wet spring months and prevents most weeds from becoming a nuisance all season long.

SEASONAL FERTILIZERS

Lawn Buddies only uses top quality premium fertilizer blends to have the highest impact on your lawn with each visit. Our fertilizer applications are loaded with nitrogen to get your turf to grow quickly with an attractive deep green color. This ingredient along with vital macro/micro-nutrients like potassium, calcium, magnesium, carbon, and iron. These ingredients are what make your lawn stand out! Lawn Buddies' programs also include vital heat stress summer fertilizers. These special fertilizers target and promote a healthy root structure so that your lawn can handle the harsh summer weather. Our fall and winter fertilizers target the soil as well as the turf to feed them well into the winter and preparing them for next season's applications. Our special Winterizing fertilizer locks important nutrients into your grass to help your lawn survive the cold winter.

GRUB CONTROL

Grubs are one of the most, if not THE MOST, common causes of lawn damages in New Jersey. Not only do grubs feed on grass roots, but as they develop into beetles they also eat the foliage of your trees, shrubs, and flowers. Grubs then continue their germinating cycle on your property, causing endless amounts of trouble. Lawn Buddies applies a time-targeted specialized application during the early summer, as this is the time the beetles lay their eggs into the soil. Timing is crucial for this application to prevent hatching and severe damage to your lawn and plants. Lawn Buddies continuously stays up to date on the local weather and temperature forecast to apply this treatment at the perfect time.

LIME SOIL AMENDMENT

The benefits of this application are endless. Lawn Buddies commonly applies this at the end of the season and sometimes in small amounts with other applications. This slow-acting treatment will raise the Ph level in your soil to promote better growth, stronger effectiveness of fertilizer and add additional essential nutrients to your soil. Nitrogen and Potassium will no longer support the turf properly if the Ph level falls below 6! Because lime is a soil application (not a turf plant application), it takes several months to break down and should be applied yearly.
