How Grubs Harm Your Lawn

Why is grub control so important for your lawn?

Beetles lay eggs in late spring to early summer, and those eggs hatch into grubs in June and July. This is the critical developmental window when grubs are small, just starting to feed, and most vulnerable to control efforts.

Grubs munch on grassroots, which can lead to loose, spongey soil and dead patches as turf loses root support. It can also Attract wildlife digging for larvae (e.g. skunks, raccoons, birds), causing further lawn damage.

Ever So Green treatments strike at the heart of grub activity, preventing root damage that leads to spongy turf and brown spots.

The Role of Spot Weed Control

What’s the difference between spot weed control and regular weed control?

Even the healthiest lawns can develop a few weeds here and there. Rather than applying a blanket herbicide that can stress your turf in warm temperatures, spot treatment is the smart choice in June. Here are the benefits of spot treatment:

Targets Specific Problem Areas. Apply weed control only where needed to eliminate broadleaf weeds like dandelions, clover, and plantain.

Reduces Chemical Use. Spot control minimizes herbicide exposure to your lawn and the environment.

Prevents Spread. Tackling weeds early keeps them from seeding and spreading through your yard.

Be sure to spot-treat on cooler days (below 85°F) and follow label instructions to avoid damaging your grass. Ever So Green can also do this for you!

Why Fertilize in Early Summer?

There are several times during the year that people fertilize—why is it important to fertilize early in the summer?

By June, your lawn has already used up much of the spring fertilizer you applied (whether you fertilized yourself or had Ever So Green apply it for you). Here are the benefits of early summer fertilization:

Strengthens Root System. Fertilizing at this time promotes root development to help your grass withstand heat and occasional drought.

Boosts Green Color. Summer fertilizer enhances the lawn’s vibrant green appearance just in time for summer gatherings.

Maintains Density. Applying early summer fertilizer encourages thick, even growth that naturally crowds out weeds.

For best results, use a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer formulated for summer use. This provides steady nutrition over time without forcing excessive top growth, which can stress the lawn during hot weather. Of course, it’s always easier to have Ever So Green perform a soil test for your lawn to determine what nutrients it needs the most!

Intro to May Lawn Fertilization

Did you know that May is prime time for lawn fertilization?

Alongside weed control, fertilizing in May gives your lawn the nutrients it needs for vigorous growth and a deep green color. A spring feeding supports strong roots, helps grass compete against weeds, and preps your lawn for the heat of summer.

Key Nutrients to Look For:

• Nitrogen (N): Promotes lush, green top growth.
• Phosphorus (P): Supports root development (use phosphorus-free if your soil already has enough).
• Potassium (K): Helps improve drought and disease resistance.

Intro to May Weed Control

Have you recently noticed weeds sprouting in your yard?

Dandelions, clover, chickweed, and other broadleaf weeds thrive in the same conditions as your grass. If left unchecked, they can quickly take over your lawn, stealing nutrients, water, and sunlight. By treating these weeds in May, you can catch them while they’re still young and more vulnerable to herbicides.

Why Prevent Weeds in May?

• Soil temperatures are warm enough for herbicides to work effectively.
• Weeds are actively growing and absorbing nutrients—making them more susceptible to treatment.
• Early control prevents weeds from flowering and seeding, reducing future infestations.

Fertilization in April

Spring is finally here! How can you set up your lawn for year-long success?

The Answer is Fertilization!

A well-fed lawn is better equipped to beat out weeds and resist stress from heat and drought later in the season. Applying a balanced spring fertilizer in April provides nutrients like nitrogen, and potassium, promoting healthy root development and vibrant green growth.

Additional April Lawn Care Tips

• Mowing: Begin regular mowing as soon as your grass starts growing actively. Keep mower blades sharp and cut no more than one-third of the grass height at a time.
• Aeration: If your lawn has compacted soil, early spring aeration can improve water and nutrient absorption.
• Overseeding: If you have thin or bare patches, April is a good time to overseed and encourage thick turf coverage before summer stress sets in.

Crabgrass Control in April

Did you know that both crabgrass and broadleaf weeds show up in April?

As spring arrives in full force, April is an important month for setting up a lush, green lawn that will last throughout the year. With warming temperatures and increased sunlight, grass begins its rapid growth phase—but so do crabgrass and broadleaf weeds. This is the time to take action with crabgrass control, broadleaf weed management, and fertilization.

Crabgrass Control

Crabgrass is one of the most troublesome weeds in lawns, thriving in thin, weak turf areas. April is the ideal time to apply a pre-emergent herbicide. Pre-emergent products create a barrier that prevents crabgrass seeds from germinating. Watering in the product after application helps activate it and enhances its weed-blocking power.
