Picture this: your lawn in Indiana is the epitome of health, and it's never been more green, pristine, and weed-free. Your neighbors are jealous, wondering how you got your grass to look like that. Fortunately, this is possible when you combine fertilization and weed control! These lawn care services should always be in conjunction with each other; if you fertilize your turf without applying weed control, you'll give the nutrients to any existing weeds too. On the other hand, using only weed control treatments without fertilization may keep your lawn weed-free, but it won't have the nutrients it needs to thrive. By combining them, your lawn can reap the best of both worlds and be at its best year after year!

If you fertilize your lawn without weed control, you'll give nutrients to the weeds too.

Fertilizing your lawn is vital to its health and aesthetic appeal, as it supplies the nutrients it needs to thrive - nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. These nutrients boost your turf's vibrant green color, encourage strong root development, and aid in healthy grass growth. On the other hand, if you fertilize your lawn without weed control, those nutrients may not just go to the grass; instead, you'd be giving nutrients to the weeds too! Before long, the weeds will become bigger and stronger, possibly even overrunning the grass. So, you'll want to utilize weed control treatments with fertilization to avoid giving the weeds what they want.

Some common weeds in Indiana include crabgrass, dandelions, chickweed, henbit, clover, and nutsedge.

While Using Weed Control Will Keep Your Lawn Weed-Free, It May Not Have Access to the Nutrients It Needs Without Fertilization

Weed control treatments are great for controlling the weed population on your lawn; pre-emergents are a blanket treatment that prevents new weeds from surfacing. Meanwhile, post-emergents are targeted applications that eliminate any existing weeds. While using weed control will keep your lawn weed-free, doing so without fertilization means it may not have access to the nutrients it needs to thrive. A lawn free of weeds is nice, but one that's also healthy and beautiful is even better - hence why you'll want to combine these lawn care services!

When you combine and regularly apply weed control and fertilization treatments throughout the year, your lawn will reap the best of both worlds. After all, it won't just be weed-free, but it'll also have the nutrients it needs to thrive and stay strong against stressors like the changing weather, diseases, and insect infestations! An ideal fertilization and weed control schedule for your lawn should look like the following:

  • Eight fertilization treatments from early spring until late fall, with 4-6 week intervals between each.
  • Two pre-emergent weed control treatments in the spring, then post-emergent applications throughout the rest of the year.
