Now booking the 2027 season. Lawn treatments start in April.

Programs and prices

All three lawn programs follow the same six-visit calendar and include a soil test each September. At the free assessment we measure your lawn and set its price.

Fertilizer + Fall Renovation: $122 a visit for a 6,000 sq ft lawn

Here's what it costs

The Fertilizer Program uses the September visit for a light feed. Fertilizer + Fall Renovation uses the September visit to core aerate, overseed and put down starter fertilizer.

Complete Lawn and Pest adds liquid iron at four more visits. It also adds grub and billbug prevention in May and five visits to treat the outside of the house for pests.

Move the sliders to your lawn size and the length of your foundation.

We set your exact price at the free assessment after we measure the lawn and foundation. If you start after April, we add up the list prices of the visits left and split that total evenly across those visits.

The price includes a lab test of your soil at your first visit and each September. We match your fertilizer to that test and add liquid iron in June.

Each visit is timed to what the lawn and the bugs are doing

April · Early springEarly to mid April before crabgrass seed sprouts

Pre-emergent and the first feed

In April we put down the first feed of the year with a crabgrass pre-emergent. A pre-emergent forms a barrier at the soil surface that keeps most crabgrass seed from sprouting. The numbers 19-0-6 on the April feed mean 19% nitrogen, 0% phosphate and 6% potash. Potash is the form of potassium on a fertilizer bag.

Feed and the first round of whole-lawn weed control

We treat the whole lawn for weeds in May because dandelions, clover and other broadleaf weeds are up and growing by then. The nitrogen in this feed releases slowly through late spring.

Iron and a summer feed

In June we switch to a feed with more potash and keep nitrogen moderate before the July heat. Potash helps grass handle heat and drought. All three programs get liquid iron at this visit. The green from each dose fades after several weeks, so Complete Lawn and Pest adds iron at four more visits: April, May, August and October. We do not treat the whole lawn for weeds in June.

Feed and the second round of whole-lawn weed control

We treat the whole lawn for weeds a second time in August because broadleaf weeds pull treatment down to their roots in late summer and fall.

The soil test and fall renovation on two of the programs

We pull soil cores from across your lawn for the soil test. On Fertilizer + Fall Renovation and Complete Lawn and Pest, we also core aerate and overseed the lawn. Water the new seed every day for about two weeks after the visit because seed needs a moist surface to sprout.

The winterizer

We put down the last feed of the year as top growth slows. This feed helps the lawn green up early in spring because the grass stores reserves in its roots over winter. The blends on this calendar are our default. Your soil report can change the phosphorus and potassium we choose. We test your soil at your first visit and again each September. Until the first report comes back, we feed by grass type.

Five visits timed to the pests of each season

On each visit we treat the foundation, doors, windows and eaves. We treat nothing inside the house. Complete Lawn and Pest includes all five perimeter visits.

Perimeter pest control on its own costs $95 per visit for a house with up to 200 ft of foundation. Each foot over 200 adds 35 cents per visit.

Keep people and pets off treated areas until the treatment has dried.

Apr
Ants and spiders
We treat the foundation, doors and windows.
Jun
Wasps and earwigs
We treat eaves, decks and window wells.
Jul
Ants, spiders and wasps
We renew the barrier around the foundation.
Sep
Box elder bugs and cluster flies
We treat the house before they look for a way in.

Before cold weather, we treat where they try to get inside.

Nitrogen rates that follow your type of grass

Many lawns in Cache Valley are Kentucky bluegrass. We start from bluegrass rates and identify your grass at the free assessment. Then we set the nitrogen rate and our mowing advice for that grass. Your results also depend on how you water and mow. Mow at the height shown for your grass, and water less often and for longer.

Kentucky Bluegrass
Default
Mow 2.5 to 3.5″Nitrogen 3.4 to 3.8 lb

Kentucky bluegrass spreads by underground stems and fills its own thin spots. It takes most of its feed in fall.

Turf-Type Tall Fescue
Needs overseeding
Mow 3 to 4″Nitrogen 3.0 to 4.0 lb

Tall fescue grows in clumps and does not spread. It needs overseeding to stay thick.

Perennial Ryegrass
Lighter feeding
Mow 2 to 3″Nitrogen 2.5 to 3.5 lb

Perennial ryegrass needs lighter feeding. We do not push it with nitrogen in summer heat.

Fine Fescue
Lightest feeding
Mow 3 to 4″Nitrogen 1.0 to 2.0 lb

Fine fescue needs the least feed of the four. We give it no nitrogen in summer.

Nitrogen is in pounds per 1,000 sq ft per year. We set it by grass type. The soil test does not measure nitrogen.

What we do on all three programs

We test your soil at the first visit and each September

You get a copy of the soil report and a note on what we will change because of the results.

We text you the day before each visit

You do not need to be home if you leave the gate unlocked.

We leave a flag at the door and text you a visit report

The report lists what we applied and how much we used. The flag shows the time we finished. Keep kids and pets off the treated area until it dries.

We apply each product at its label rate

We calibrate our equipment to hold that rate.

A licensed applicator does each visit

A Utah-licensed commercial applicator from our own company applies each product.

We bill after each visit

We charge your card once the visit is done.
