The Roots Program
The lawn care program consist of (6) properly timed treatments that will promote a dense, healthy green lawn, control grassy and broad leaf weed growth and reduce fire ants. Included in the program are Post-emergents, which reduce existing weed growth. Pre-emergents, which reduce future weed growth, nitrogen for plant growth & greenness, phosphorus, which enhances flowering and bloom growth, and potassium, which promotes root growth, encourages disease resistance, and reduces stressor’s (heat, cold, and drought). Iron for rapid green-up and fire ant bait as needed during the growing season.
