LAWNS
Now is the perfect time to apply Crabgrass Preventer plus Lawn Food or Step 1 of your lawn care program. This application both feeds your lawn and stops crabgrass before it starts—hands down, the best way to prevent crabgrass!
Important: These products will also prevent grass seed from growing. If you’re planning to seed or overseed your lawn, stop in and we’ll help you choose the right alternative.
Seeding & Overseeding
Spring is ideal for seeding bare spots or overseeding your lawn. Make sure you’re using the right seed for your yard’s sunlight conditions:
• Less than 4 hours of sun: Use shady mixes
• 4–8 hours of sun: Use sun and shade mixes
• 8+ hours of sun: Use sunny mixes
Weed Control for Lawns
Weeds are most vulnerable in early spring, but many lawn weed killers don’t work well in cooler soil temps. The exception…
-
SpeedZone and Weed-Free Zone lawn weed killers.
These products contain ingredients that work effectively in cool and warm weather—perfect for spring!
TREES & SHRUBS
Now is the best time to apply Bio-Advanced Tree & Shrub Protect & Feed for pest & disease protection. In early spring, trees absorb large amounts of water—making it the perfect moment for this treatment. It’s especially effective for trees prone to pests like borers and scale. One application protects for the entire growing season.
Fertilizing
Boost your trees’ health with organic fertilizers like Holly-tone, Tree-tone, or Evergreen-tone. These fertilizers release nutrients as the soil warms—feeding your trees in harmony with nature.
GARDEN & PLANTING BEDS
Get your beds ready! Now’s the time to:
• Turn the soil
• Work in amendments like Sphagnum Peat or Bordine’s Complete Planting Mix
• Add an organic fertilizer such as Garden-tone, Plant-tone, or Flower-tone
This prep will set the stage for healthy, vibrant plants all season long!
