   It is easy to create a lush, green, great-looking lawn and keep it that way all season long. Just follow these steps and you will soon be enjoying your lawn this summer.

Step 1: Apply an early-season, pre-emergent weed preventer anytime between NOW and April 15th.  This step prevents summertime weeds from germinating.  It is important to apply this step before the lawn starts to green-up, so get this down before sustained warm weather starts for the season.  Do not do this if your going to reseed your lawn.

Step 2: Apply a fertilizer with broad leaf weed control between April 1st-June 30th.  This step provides nutrients for thick, sturdy grass and promotes strong root systems.  It also controls all broad leaf weeds.  This is also the time to start applying iron on your lawn.  Application of iron 3 times during the season  will keep your lawn green.

Step 3: Apply a winterizing fertilizer between September 1st-October 31st to protect your lawn from Winter stress and to promote vigorous root development.  Your grass will green-up faster the following Spring with a winterizing fertilizer.

A Couple additional tips:

    First, use a spot weed control product to control dandelions, chickweed, knotweed and many other broadleaf weeds as-needed during the season.  Hose-end, pump and trigger sprayers are available.  This can be especially useful if your neighbors don't care for their lawns as well as you do, since weeds tend to travel.

     Second, make sure your mower blades are sharp at the beginning of the season and adjust the cut height up a notch if it is unusually hot.  Dull mower blades and short cuts distress your lawn. 

     Caring for you own lawn and keeping it looking nice all season with these steps takes about 8 hours of your time between early Spring and late Fall.  It is an easy do-it yourself project that can make you proud of your home.

     Scott's Snap Spreader System is a simple and easy way to fertilize your lawn. There's no settings, no spilling, and stores away easily. With a Snap Pac that locks into place on the unit it makes doing yard work faster and enjoyable.  Scott's Snap Pac comes in different options for making our lawn the very best it can be.

     Here are a few Snap Pacs that we carry that would be useful to use right now:

• Lawn Fertilizer-This can be applied to wet or dry lawns which will help build strong, deep roots. To maintain green reapply between 6-8 weeks. Don't worry, it's kid and pet friendly and can be applied any season.
• Weed&Feed-Apply this product when your lawn is wet not windy and wait 24 hours before watering or mowing the lawn. Apply in spring or fall when weeds are actively growing. This will kill the weeds, but also will build strong roots.  
• Fertilizer with Crabgrass Preventer- Apply this product to dry grass that is already well established and then water it to create a barrier on the soil. It can be applied
  in early spring and early fall. This will prevent crabgrass from popping up all season.
• Grubex- New product at Ace that      prevents grubs all season for up to 4 months. Apply this product spring to early summer to dry lawn, but then water in thoroughly to activate with at least 1 inch of water. Make sure you apply is during this time because the maximum number of applications is one per year.
• Insect Killer for Lawns- This product kills insects including ants, mole crickets, cinch bugs, ticks and cutworms. Just one application in the early spring, summer, or at the first sign of insect activity kills insects for up to 3 months.
