Targeted Fungicide Protection
Certain weather patterns—extended moisture, humidity, and temperature swings—can create ideal conditions for turf diseases. When necessary, our lawn care programs include preventative or curative fungicide treatments designed to control common lawn diseases before they spread. These applications are carefully timed and selected based on your lawn’s specific conditions to support long-term turf health without unnecessary treatments.
We understand that maintaining a beautiful lawn can be especially challenging with our area's distinct seasons. Our lawn care programs account for the cold winters, variable spring conditions, and potential moisture issues that affect turf health. The Harrison Tree & Lawn Care difference is in our timing—we know exactly when to apply treatments for optimal results as your grass awakens from winter dormancy and needs proper nutrition to thrive.
Why Your Lawn Needs a Personalized Approach
Your yard is as unique as your home. With proper care, you can enjoy a healthier, more resilient lawn that withstands our challenging seasons. According to the National Gardening Association, homeowners who implement professional lawn care programs see up to 30% improvement in turf density compared to DIY approaches alone.
Working Together for Lawn Success
At Harrison Tree & Lawn Care, our lawn assessments start with understanding your specific soil conditions, identifying your grass variety, and evaluating current weed pressure. This careful analysis helps us create a truly effective treatment schedule for your property. Professional care provides deeper nutrition, targets emerging issues before they become problems, and strengthens your lawn's root system to better handle drought and temperature fluctuations in our area.
Effective Lawn Fertilization for Healthier Grass
A well-fed lawn can withstand harsh seasons, resist pests, and stay green. Proper fertilization provides essential nutrients for strong roots and lush growth, especially during Michigan’s unique growing seasons.
Most yards face nutrient challenges due to varying soil composition. Without the right fertilization, turf can struggle after winter dormancy when grass awakens hungry for nutrients. The key is applying the right fertilizer at the right time—from early spring through late fall.
Understanding Your Lawn's Nutrient Needs
Lawns need specific nutrients that change throughout the season. Cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass and fescue differ in needs from warm-season varieties, making timing and application critical.
- Spring: Controlled nitrogen to encourage healthy growth without promoting fungal issues. Preventative fungicide applications may be recommended when conditions favor disease development.
- Summer: Helps turf manage heat stress and maintain color while monitoring for disease pressure caused by humidity and moisture.
- Fall: Strengthens roots for long-term health and prepares turf to enter winter with improved disease resistance.
A customized fertilization plan, based on soil testing and local conditions, ensures your lawn stays healthy, attractive, and resilient year-round—more effective than store-bought solutions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mow right after a fertilization treatment?
We recommend waiting at least 24–48 hours and watering your lawn before mowing after a fertilization treatment. This gives the product time to activate and absorb properly.
How often should my lawn be fertilized?
Most lawns benefit from fertilization every 6 to 8 weeks during the growing season. However, the ideal schedule can vary based on your grass type, soil condition, and local climate.
How do I know if my lawn needs professional care?
Every lawn can benefit from ongoing care, regardless of its current condition. Professional lawn care helps maintain a healthy, lush lawn, prevents common issues like weeds or pests, and improves overall appearance. Even if your lawn seems fine, regular maintenance can keep it thriving year-round. If you’re noticing signs like uneven growth, thinning grass, brown patches, or insect problems, it may be time for professional care to get your lawn back in top shape.
Is there anything I will need to do to ensure results of my lawn care program?
Yes. While our fertilization, weed control, and disease prevention treatments will significantly improve your lawn’s overall health and appearance, regular mowing and watering - as well as proper drainage - are essential to maximize the benefits. Mowing helps keep your lawn at an optimal height, and consistent watering ensures your grass gets the moisture it needs to thrive. Drainage in your yard is also important as poor drainage can cause turf diseases. All this to say, our lawn care service should be part of your lawn regimen - but not the only thing!
