Seasonal Lawn Fertilizers

Did you know that nitrogen is the main ingredient in most lawn fertilizers? It's what your lawn uses to grow quickly and, along with proper watering, is usually the most important ingredient to a beautiful lawn. Lawn Buddies promises to use the most amount of Nitrogen allowed by your specific turf grass. It's what makes our lawns 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.

Weed Control Treated Versus Untreated Lawn

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. Lawn Buddies Crabgrass Application works by preventing crabgrass from germinating. This is a split application done in early and late spring and is vital for keeping your lawn Crabgrass-free.

Grub Control

Anyone who lives in New Jersey can tell you about grubs. Not only do the 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 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.

Surface Insect Control

Chinch Bugs, Sod Webworms and Cutworms are the most common turf-damaging insects found in this area. If left unchecked, they can do severe damage to the lawn throughout the late spring and summer months. This can lead very quickly to unattractive lawns and costly repairs. Lawn Buddies' insect control is specifically geared toward eliminating a large variety of surface-feeding, turf-damaging insects but will also help with the control of nuisance insects like ants, spiders and centipedes.

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.

Lawn Fertilization and Weed Control: Common Questions

When should you start fertilizing your lawn?

Fertilizing your lawn in early spring is a crucial step in promoting lush, green grass and overall lawn health in New Jersey. The optimal time to start fertilizing your lawn in spring is between early to mid-March, weather depending.

How often are treatments applied? Do you let me know when you’re coming?

Our lawn fertilizer treatments are scheduled every 4-6 weeks. We will notify you via text and email the day before you are scheduled each time. If for any reason you can’t be treated that day, simply let us know and we’ll get you on schedule for another day!

What weeds do you treat?

Our comprehensive weed removal service targets over 100 types of broad-leaf weeds. Our Crabgrass Application works by preventing crabgrass from germinating. It is a split application done in early and late spring.

Does the program include grub control?

Yes. Lawn Buddies applies a 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.

What happens if it rains on my scheduled service day?

Our broad leaf weed control products take a few hours to dry. Once they are dry, moderate to heavy rain will not have a negative impact on the treatment. Our fertilizer is always granular, so rain will help activate the fertilizer even quicker! Each service comes with a weed free guarantee, so even if it rains before the treatment has a chance to dry, Lawn Buddies has your back!

Are your lawn care products safe for pets and children?

Our products are safe for pets and children once the application has a chance to dry. Once dry, your kids and pets are free to enjoy the yard again! Our treatments take 4-6 hours to dry, and we’ll notify you as soon as your treatment has been completed!

Can I combine lawn fertilizer, weed control, and mosquito control services in one package?

Absolutely! We offer comprehensive customizable packages that include all three services to simplify your lawn care routine. We also offer other services such as Aeration & Overseeding or Spotted Lanternfly Control.
