How Does The Six Step Turf Builder Program Work?
A weed free, healthy lawn can make your home and landscape more inviting. Our Custom Six-Step Turf Builder Program helps achieves this goal. Each turf application “Round” includes weed control to ensure your personal curb appeal.
Each step is expertly timed to target specific seasonal lawn needs. The Program will be administered at 4-6 week intervals. These applications are as follows:
Step 1 | Application Timing: Early- Mid Spring This step includes a slow-release granular fertilizer to restore nutrients after winter and a diverse pre-emergent to prevent weeds like yellow foxtail, crabgrass, and goosegrass. Our certified technicians will also spot-treat broadleaf weeds for a strong start to the season. |
Step 2 | Application Timing: Late Spring Applied in late spring, this round includes a liquid broadleaf fertilizer to strengthen grass blades and boost turf density and color. We apply it once daytime temperatures consistently reach 70°F, targeting actively growing weeds for the best results. To avoid lawn damage, treatments are avoided when temperatures exceed 90°F. |
Step 3 | Application Timing: Early Summer Applied in early summer, this step uses a special summer-blend fertilizer with lower nitrogen to avoid overfeeding during slower grass growth. Our Turf Technicians will spot-treat any remaining broadleaf and grassy weeds. This is also the ideal time to check trees, shrubs, and bushes for diseases or infestations, with treatment options discussed if issues are found. Grubs, a root-feeding larvae common in Kansas City, can damage lawns by late summer or early fall, as they burrow underground and disrupt water and nutrient absorption. Tall fescue and bluegrass, the region’s primary turf types, are both vulnerable to grub damage. |
Step 4 | Application Timing: Mid to Late Summer Applied in mid to late July, this step includes a liquid broadleaf herbicide for effective weed control and a fertilizer to promote root growth and color. Treatments are only applied when temperatures are below 90°F to target actively growing weeds. Tough weeds like wild violet, white clover, and ground ivy may need multiple treatments for full control. During this visit, your Turf Technician will assess your lawn’s health and discuss fall renovation options like core aeration, overseeding, verticutting, and starter fertilizer to prepare your yard for winter and ensure next season’s success. |
Step 5 | Application Timing: Early Fall Applied between late September and late October, this crucial step provides essential nutrients to support winter turf health, promote early spring green-up, and prevent spring diseases. We use a custom granular fertilizer for better absorption and reduced burn risk compared to liquid products. Core aeration just before this treatment improves fertilizer absorption and strengthens root growth. If overseeding, this application also supports new seed development, helping grass establish before winter. For best results, core aerate, overseed, and apply Round 5 within 24 hours, then water to activate the fertilizer. |
Step 6 | Application Timing: Late Fall – Early Winter Applied after your irrigation system is winterized, this granular fertilizer requires no watering. It’s low in nitrogen and high in potassium to promote root growth, strengthen disease resistance, and encourage early spring green-up. After the final treatment, your Turf Technician will review your lawn’s progress, discuss results, and recommend any needed improvements for next season. |
