Weed Control and Fertilization Atlanta | Simply Green

Year Round Lawn Care

Weed Control and Fertilization

Simply Green combines weed control and fertilization in a nine-application program tailored to your grass type, season, weed activity, and lawn condition.

Give Your Grass More Room to Grow

Different weeds become active at different times of the year. Some are treated after they appear, while others can be addressed before they become established.

Bermuda, Zoysia, and Fescue also have different growing cycles and nutritional needs, so lawn treatments vary by grass type and season.

Simply Green’s nine-application program combines seasonal weed prevention, treatment of suitable existing weeds, and lawn nutrition throughout the year.

YOUR 6-STEP PLAN

How Our Lawn Care Program Works?

Treatments change with the grass type, season, weed activity, and lawn condition.

Check the Grass Type

We start by identifying whether your lawn has Bermuda, Zoysia, Fescue, or a combination of grasses. Each has different growing and seasonal needs.

Check the Lawn

We look at existing weeds, thin areas, color changes, and overall grass growth. Insects, disease, hard soil, shade, and watering problems are also considered when something does not look right.

Treat Existing Weeds

Weeds that are already growing are treated based on what is actually present. Grassy weeds, sedges, and broadleaf weeds may require different treatments.

Prevent Seasonal Weeds

Preventive treatments are applied at the appropriate times of year for certain seasonal weeds. Timing depends on the grass type and weeds being targeted.

Feed the Lawn

Fertilizer and other program treatments are applied based on the grass type and season. The type and timing of the application change throughout the year.

Continue With Nine Scheduled Treatments

Simply Green returns for nine applications during the year. What is applied can change as temperatures, rainfall, weeds, and grass growth change.

What to Do Between Treatments?

Regular mowing and watering continue between Simply Green visits. Keep an eye on new weeds and any sudden changes in the grass.

  • Mow at the Right Height

    Bermuda, Zoysia, and Fescue need different mowing heights. Keep your lawn at the recommended height for your grass type and avoid removing too much of the blade at one time. Use a sharp mower blade for a clean cut.

  • Adjust Watering With the Weather

    Water needs change with rainfall, temperature, grass type, and season. Avoid keeping the soil constantly wet or adding extra water simply because a lawn treatment was applied. Follow any specific watering instructions provided after service.

  • Leave Unfamiliar Weeds in Place

    Do not immediately spray an unfamiliar weed with another product. Leaving it in place gives our lawn care experts a chance to identify it and determine whether it needs additional treatment.

Stop Weeds Earlier

Control Weeds Before and After They Appear

Weed control is not limited to weeds already growing in the lawn. Some seasonal weeds can be addressed before they become established, while others need treatment after they appear.

Simply Green uses both approaches during the year.

Before Weeds Appear

Pre emergent treatment is applied at specific times to prevent certain seasonal weeds from becoming established.

Bermuda and Zoysia programs include prevention for summer and winter weeds. Fescue care includes crabgrass prevention.

These applications need to be made before the targeted weeds begin growing.

After Weeds Appear

Suitable weeds already growing in the lawn are treated based on what is present.

Grassy weeds, sedges, and broadleaf weeds do not all respond to the same treatment. Some weeds respond sooner than others, while established or difficult weeds may take longer.

Different weeds can also appear as the seasons change. A weed that shows up later in the year may be a different species becoming active under new growing conditions.

The nine-application program continues throughout the year so treatment can change with seasonal weed activity.

Feed the Grass You Want

Give Your Lawn the Nutrition It Needs

Weed control is one part of the lawn care program. Your grass also needs the right nutrition for its type and growing season.

Simply Green uses liquid and granular fertilizer, along with other program treatments, at appropriate times during the year.

Fertilizer is not an instant fix for thin grass. The lawn still needs time to grow, and some weak areas may have another problem.

Shade, hard soil, watering issues, insects, disease, and mowing can all affect how grass grows. Those problems need to be addressed separately when they are limiting the lawn.

Care for Your Grass Type

Bermuda, Zoysia, and Fescue Need Different Care

Atlanta lawns do not all grow on the same schedule. Simply Green adjusts weed control and fertilization according to the type of grass in your yard.

Bermuda and Zoysia Lawns

Bermuda and Zoysia are warm season grasses. They become more active as temperatures rise and go dormant during colder weather.

Their nine-application program includes summer and winter weed prevention, treatment for suitable broadleaf weeds, liquid and granular fertilizer, lime, and free service calls.

Applications change as grass and weed activity varies throughout the year.

Fescue Lawns

Fescue grows more actively during the cooler parts of the year and can struggle during Atlanta's summer heat.

The program includes crabgrass prevention, broadleaf weed control, starter fertilizer for new seedlings, liquid and granular fertilizer, lime, additional lawn support, and free service calls.

Fescue aeration and seeding may also be recommended for thin areas that need new grass.

Local Lawn Care Experience

Why Atlanta Homeowners Choose Simply Green?

Simply Green has cared for Metro Atlanta lawns since 2004. Our lawn care experts work with Bermuda, Zoysia, and Fescue, adjusting treatments as Atlanta weather and growing conditions change.

The program includes nine scheduled applications, but the same treatment is not repeated at every visit. Applications are based on the grass type, season, weeds, and current lawn condition.

Free service calls are included. If weeds appear or another lawn concern develops between scheduled treatments, contact Simply Green rather than waiting for the next visit.

New customers can also receive a free lawn health diagnostic and soil test when signing up, subject to the current program offer.
