It's been an interesting spring!!

I'm sure you are noticing all those lovely yellow flowers in the yards! Please know that the first round of application that has been applied, is for fertilizing and crab grass control only. That application does not take care of your broadleaf weeds - dandelions! We are required by state law to post a white sign with red letters stating a pesticide has been applied. You will see this sign for both the first and second applications. Some of our customers get confused when they see the sign, and dandelions are still there.

We are just starting the second round of applications. This is the broadleaf weed control spray. The weeds need to be present in order to kill them, since it is a contact spray! The only way the weeds in your yard will be killed, is by this liquid weed spray. This spray is affected greatly by the weather - rain and wind. We can only apply when the weather cooperates. Once this application is applied, please do not cut or water your grass for 24 hours to allow the best uptake of the chemical by the plant.

Due to the cold and damp spring we've had -- while the dandelions are very present -- many broadleaf weeds have not germinated yet. If you would like an additional broadleaf application in the fall, please let us know! Even though you may not notice many weeds in the fall, when there is an extra broadleaf weed control application in the fall, it tends to help prevent weeds popping up in the spring.

Thank you for your patience! Please continue to check our website www.lakecountrylawncare.com for the latest news, as well as other services we offer.
