The Goal - Greener, weed-free grass with a deep, thick, healthy, web-like root system

The Plan - A full year of treatments involving the following specialized applications:


1)      Rejuvenation :
Application of Rejuvenating Fertilizer

After the snow melts and spring has sprung, HappyLawnTM applies the first of its annual treatments. The Rejuvenation application will wake up your winter-dormant lawn and get it green and growing. A time-release fertilizer, it promotes balanced, controlled feeding without causing surge growth.


2)      Crabgrass Barrier :
Application of Spring Fertilizer, Pre-Emergent Crabgrass Control & Broadleaf Weed Control

This application employs a balanced, slow-release fertilizer designed to keep your lawn green and growing through the summer. We will also apply your Crabgrass Barrier. This preventative creates a barrier in the lawn that stops crabgrass dead in its tracks. In addition, HappyLawnTM treats for broadleaf weeds such as clover, dandelion, and chickweed. The treatment is timed to kill off broadleaves before temperatures rise. Once it's hot, your lawn has a more difficult time fighting off weeds, which can easily take over.


3)      Weed Blaster :
Application of Slow-release, Non-burning Fertilizer, Plus Spot Treatment for Weeds

Fast-release fertilizers tend to burn lawns when summer heats up, so we use a slow-release formula that will nourish your lawn under all summer conditions, from drought to unusually wet. We will also spot treat for broadleaf weeds (weather permitting).


4)      Maintenance :
Application of Slow-release, Non-burning Fertilizer, Plus Spot Treatment for Weeds

To encourage root development, which is necessary for a thick, healthy lawn, we apply a specially formulated, root-stimulating fertilizer at the most appropriate time during the summer. HappyLawnTM also applies broadleaf control to ensure those weeds are completely eliminated.


5)      Revitalizer :
Application of Revitalizing Fertilizer and Broadleaf Weed Control (as needed)

HappyLawn'sTM revitalizing fertilizer treatment gives your lawn what it needs to continue root development while also supplying a high dose of nitrogen, which will keep your lawn green all fall. We also spot-treat for any lingering broadleaf weeds.


6)      Winter Prep :
Application of Specially Designed Fertilizer and Fall Weed Control (as needed)

A Winter Prep fertilizer, which is low in nitrogen yet high in phosphorus and potassium, will nurture the still-living root system of your lawn through the winter. This will enable your lawn to come out of dormancy much stronger and more able to fight off those pesky spring weeds!


7)      Anytime Lime Treatment :
Application of High-Calcium, Grey, Pelletized Limestone

HappyLawnTM uses a grey (versus the more usual white), more concentrated kind of lime in pellet form; as such, our application stays in the soil longer and works better. Lime is considered a soil conditioner, which helps balance the soil by reducing soil acidity. Because most weeds thrive in acidic soil, lime application helps keep weeds in check. And the high level of calcium in the lime helps future fertilizing treatments work more efficiently. Though lime can be applied anytime throughout the year, summer is a popular time for this application. The freezing in winter followed by the thawing in spring helps work the lime into the soil; peak soil pH is reached around May, helping to deter weed growth.


8)      Anytime Gypsum Treatment :
Application of Gypsum

Gypsum is a natural soil amendment that is essential to the continued improvement of your lawn. Not only does Gypsum help to naturally aerate the soil by creating air pockets, but it also releases trapped nitrogen in the soil allowing your lawn to stay greener longer.
