Lawn Care Company in Highland, MI Area Starts April Fertilization and Weed Control

HIGHLAND, Mich. - April 2, 2025 - PRLog -- Spring is finally here! What do you need to do for your lawn?

How can you set your lawn up for year-long success?

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.

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.
