We Make It Easy to Fertilize Your Lawn
Taking the time to fertilize is essential in creating and maintaining a beautiful, lush lawn. Giving grass the nutrients it needs in the proper amounts and correct time intervals provides many benefits that include:
- Help it grow healthy and strong
- Making it more drought resistant
- Encouraging thick growth
- Eliminating room for lawn weeds to thrive
At Candid Land Maintenance we implement a combination of granular and liquid treatments to make and keep your lawn picture perfect. Let’s look at our detailed fertilization program.
6 Step Fertilizer & Lawn Weed Control Program
In the Midwest, we get extreme weather conditions that can be stressful on our cool season turf grasses. Our 6 step fertilizer and lawn weed control program will aid your lawn in maintaining and thriving the whole year through. (Our fertilizer and lawn weed control program can be combined into a complete lawn care package.)
- Step 1: Pre-Emergent Fertilizer
Mid-February / Early March: We put down a slow release fertilizer, plus crab grass preventer.
- Step 2: Pre-Emergent Fertilizer
Mid-March / Early April: We apply a second application of slow release fertilizer, plus we spot treat any visible weed while adding crabgrass preventer.
- Step 3: Weed & Feed
Mid-April / Early May: We apply a slow release fertilizer that contains a professional strength herbicide that is sure to kill any remaining weeds in the grass.
- Step 4: Grub Control/Fertilizer
Mid June / Mid July: We apply grub control, plus fertilizer if the threat of grub damage is impending. If no sign of grub damage we will use a slow release organic fertilizer.
- Step 5: Slow Release Organic Fertilizer
Late August / September: We apply professional slow-release nitrogen fertilizer to help turf recover from all the summer activity stress. If you’re aerating and overseeding, we will apply a starter fertilizer to give the new seed the nutrients it needs to germinate and grow strong.
- Step 6: Winterizer / Weed & Feed
Late October / December: Winter fertilizer, high phosphorus and potash formula encourages root growth, drought and traffic tolerance and helps with early Spring green-up.

Other Lawn Applications
Have an area where you just can’t get grass to grow? There could be factors you can’t see that is causing the lack of results. Improper soil conditions, compaction, even insects can hinder results for establishing and, maintaining a beautiful lawn. Lyme, gypsum, and grub control are all things one of the professionals at Candid land maintenance can identify and recommend to help improve your turf.

Aerating & Overseeding
Not always, but most the time aeration and overseeding are done together as a one-two punch to revitalize or maintain a dense healthy lawn. Aeration helps the lawn by removing compaction and thatch, allowing oxygen, water, seed, and nutrients get down to the roots. It also pushes the existing grassroots down deep so it can grow healthy and strong. Our process is a double pass using a core aerator to remove a 2″-4″ core. After that, we apply the seed. Depending on lawn condition when overseeding, we will typically apply 3-5 lbs per 1,000sq ft of your favorite seed blend. Just add water and enjoy the amazing results. Plus, our aeration and overseeding package can be combined into a complete lawn care package.
