The 6-visit program

Fertilization & weed control, April to October

Six timed steps with LESCO fertilizer and targeted weed control at each visit, from spring green-up through winter prep. Just great prices, no rigid contracts, and a clear schedule.

  1. 1

    Spring fertilization & crabgrass prevention

    Apr to early May

    We apply LESCO Stonewall 19-0-7 fertilizer with pre-emergent to promote spring green-up, strengthen the lawn, and help prevent crabgrass and other annual grassy weeds

  2. 2

    Spring weed control

    May to early Jun

    We treat common broadleaf weeds, including dandelions, clover, creeping Charlie, wild violet, plantain, and other emerging spring weeds using SpeedZone or T-Zone SE

  3. 3

    Early summer fertilization & weed control

    Jun

    LESCO 25-0-6 fertilizer promotes healthy growth, improves lawn thickness, and maintains green color. We treat remaining broadleaf weeds as needed.

  4. 4

    Summer weed control

    Jul to Aug

    We target crabgrass, foxtail, nutsedge, spurge, clover, and other summer weeds using Q4 Plus or other appropriate products. We fertilize only when lawn conditions allow.

  5. 5

    Fall fertilization & weed control

    Sep

    LESCO 25-0-6 fertilizer helps lawns recover from summer stress, promotes root development, and improves turf density. We treat dandelions, clover, creeping Charlie, and other fall weeds as needed.

  6. 6

    Fall winter preparation

    Oct

    We apply LESCO 32-0-10 fertilizer when growing conditions are appropriate to strengthen the lawn before winter and encourage healthy spring growth. We spot-treat remaining perennial weeds when weather permits.

Additional services

Layer in what your lawn needs

Beyond the 6-visit program, add grub protection, aeration, dethatching, weekly mowing, and vole, gopher, and mole control as your lawn needs them. Mix and match what fits.

Japanese beetle & white grub treatments

Grubs chew roots and attract digging wildlife; Japanese beetles defoliate plants. We treat for both before they wreck your lawn.

Aeration & overseeding

Relieve compaction and fill in thin spots so your lawn thickens up and crowds out weeds on its own

Dethatching

Clear out the dead layer that chokes out healthy grass so water and nutrients reach the roots

Weekly mowing (Jordan area)

Reliable weekly mowing for homes in and around Jordan: clean cuts, trimmed edges, no guessing when we show up

Vole, gopher & mole services

Tunnels and mounds ruin a lawn fast. We handle voles, gophers, and moles so the surface stays smooth. See vole, mole & gopher control

Aeration & overseeding

Breathe new life into your lawn

Core aeration relieves compaction so air, water, and nutrients reach the roots. Pair it with overseeding and the right seed blend to fill in thin spots and thicken the whole lawn.

Spring aeration & overseeding

Give your lawn a strong start to the season. Spring aeration opens up compacted soil after winter, and overseeding fills in thin or bare areas before summer heat arrives.

Fall aeration & overseeding

Fall is the ideal time to aerate and overseed in Minnesota. Cooler temps and reliable moisture help new grass establish strong roots before winter, so it comes back thicker in spring.

The right seed

Twin City Seed blends for every part of your yard

We seed with Twin City Seed, and we carry many different blends so you get the right seed for the right areas of your home. Not every spot in a yard gets the same sun, shade, or foot traffic, so one blend does not fit all. We match the blend to the conditions and your lawn grows in thicker and healthier.

Shade mix

For areas under trees, along fences, and the north side of the house where grass struggles for sun

Sun mix

For open, full-sun areas of the lawn that need a blend built to handle heat and bright light

High-traffic blend

For heavily trafficked areas like play spaces, pet runs, and paths where the lawn takes a beating

Dethatching

Clear the layer that chokes your lawn

A thin layer of thatch is normal, but a thick buildup blocks water, air, and nutrients from reaching the roots. Dethatching clears it out so your lawn can breathe, absorb nutrients, and grow in thicker.

Why dethatch?

  • Thatch buildup blocks water, fertilizer, and air from reaching the roots
  • A thick thatch layer creates a humid environment where pests and disease take hold
  • Roots get trapped near the surface instead of growing deep, so the lawn dries out faster in summer heat
  • Removing the dead layer opens up the soil so new grass fills in and the whole lawn thickens up

When it's best

  • Early fall (September) is ideal in Minnesota. The grass is actively growing and has time to recover before winter sets in.
  • Late spring works too, once the lawn is fully green and growing again after winter
  • We avoid dethatching during summer heat or drought stress, when the lawn is already under pressure
  • We check your thatch depth first to see if you actually need it, and we'll tell you straight either way. No unnecessary work.

Dethatching pairs well with aeration and overseeding in the same visit. Clear the dead layer first, then open the soil and seed the bare spots. Family- and pet-conscious options available, applied per label directions.
