We begin your lawn care routine in January.

We don't waste any time when it comes to beginning your lawn care routine. In January, we apply pre- and post-emergent treatments to kill pesky winter weeds like:

• Clover
• Chickweed
• Thistle
• Henbit

In the middle of March, we prep your lawn to fight off summer weeds.

After the pre- and post-emergent pesticide applications in January, your yard will be set for February. Then, in the middle of March, we put down a regular fertilizer treatment and pre-emergent herbicides. The fertilizer treatment will allow your lawn to thrive and the pre-emergent herbicides will fight off summer weeds in Bryan like:

• Buttonweed
• Dollarweed
• Crabgrass
• Sandbur

Come May, our team focuses on insect control.

As it heats up in the Bryan region, insects will become a bigger threat to your grass. Come May, our landscapers focus on keeping insects at bay. We implement residual insect control treatments for bugs that plague the Bryan area including:

• Ticks
• Grubs
• Fleas
• Chinch bugs

In late August and October, you need to control your lawn's brown patches.

As fall rolls around, you need to think about treating brown patch, which is an unsightly disease that affects cool-season turfgrass. Our lawn care professionals are knowledgeable about which fungicides to apply to best handle this common issue.

We apply pre- and post-emergent treatments for weeds in December.

Our lawn care schedule comes full circle in December. Just like in January, we apply pre- and post-emergent treatments for winter weeds. These treatments keep your lawn looking its best even with the hardy winter weeds in College Station.
