If you are in Lexington, Irmo, Greater Columbia, S.C., West Columbia or Cayce, you might want to consider hiring a Lawn Service that properly implements a Lawn Fertilization Treatment Service throughout the year. At very least, you should have either prodiamine or dimension pre emergent applied, a fertilization or two, a weed and feed, and possibly an application of lime.
Pre Emergent is due within the next few weeks (its February 3rd now). What an application of granular pre emergent does is it prevents the weed seeds from emerging in the early spring. The key to weed control is, in part, prevention. Both the Prodiamine and the Dimension products have a post emergent element to them as well, which will weaken the weeds in your winter lawn that have already sprouted. This year, in particular, the Greater Columbia, S.C. Area had a significant amount of snow, which was plowed up onto the curb. Notice all the green weeds popping up at the edge of your grass where it meets the street? This can be controlled!
To maintain a healthy lawn, your lawn service should keep you informed of these and other issues like when to fertilize and with what NPK Mix, what the soil condition is like, is it necessary to apply a "winterizer", mowing frequency and height, etc.
So this year, before you opt for the lowest cost "mow and go" service you can find, please consider that not all lawn services are alike!
