Fertilize & Weed Control

Lawn Care Program

The Outdoor Services Inc. lawn care program consists of five applications properly timed throughout the year. Each application includes the proper combination of granular fertilizer, pre-emergent crabgrass control and broadleaf weed control.

There are two basic methods of fertilizing lawns in use at the present time - liquid or granular. Outdoor Services Inc. uses professional slow release granular fertilizer for lawn care. Unlike liquid fertilizer, granular products deliver constant feeding to your lawn over a six to eight week period. Granular products also contain the trace minerals lawns need to remain strong and healthy.

The rate and method of application may vary depending on the season, weather conditions and the needs of each individual lawn. Because of these changing conditions, intervals between applications may vary from 4 to 8 weeks.

We apply only the highest quality products in a program designed to fulfill all the needs of your lawn. All products are EPA approved and are applied by trained professionals licensed by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.
