TALL FESCUE
LAWN CARE PRODUCTS
Spring
Spring is a critical transition period for tall fescue as the lawn exits winter dormancy and prepares for summer stress. The primary focus is establishing a strong, healthy turf before heat arrives. This starts with applying pre-emergent to prevent crabgrass and other weeds before they germinate, followed by targeted weed control to clean up any existing broadleaf weeds. At the same time, steady fertilization is essential to promote root development, improve density, and build resilience. As temperatures rise, incorporating preventative fungicide and insect control helps protect against common spring and early summer threats like brown patch and grubs. When done correctly, spring sets the foundation—thicker turf, fewer weeds, and a lawn better equipped to handle the challenges ahead.
