Full Season Weed Control

Weed control is also an all season long effort. Even if your lawn is perfectly healthy, weeds from the neighboring lawn or seeds that blow over with the wind can ultimately reach your lawn. The thicker and healthier your grass is, the less opportunity for weeds to grow.

Grasshopper Gardens offers full season fertilization and lawn care programs which combine weed control treatments. We can prevent small problems from becoming serious infestations that can overrun your entire lawn.

Crabgrass Control

Crabgrass is an annual weed that can soon overrun your entire lawn. Each plant is capable of producing as many as 150,000 seeds per season. It has a different texture and color than grass that interrupts the uniformity of a lawn. Crabgrass usually invades lawns during the spring and summer and then leaves large voids in the fall and winter when it dies off.

Grasshopper Gardens utilizes a combination of crabgrass control options for Albany and Saratoga, NY residents, giving them long term control. Our pre-emergent herbicides prevent seed germination and are applied in early to mid-April offering added assurance against crabgrass invasion. Our post emergent treatments make sure the weed doesn’t get out of hand.

Grub Control

Our Lawn Care Program will help protect your landscape from nuisances such as weeds, crabgrass and grubs!

Grubs, for example, are the immature form of different scarab beetles, such as the Japanese beetles or June bugs (beetles) and they have the ability to feed on the roots of your lawn’s grass which causes the lawn to die and turn brown. Grubs can also attract the attention of their natural predators such as skunks or raccoons which can lead to the critters destroying your lawn while looking for grubs to eat. Both of these scenarios will leave you with a lawn in dire need of special care and attention.

How to Identify a grub issue:

  • As the temperature begins to warm up during the spring, keep an eye on your lawn. If you have a brown patch (or patches) that never turn green, this could be due to a grub issue.
  • The appearance of irregularly shaped dead (or brown) patches in your well-irrigated lawn during the summer months, especially later in the season.
  • If pests such as birds, skunks, raccoons, or moles are digging up your lawn they are more than likely on the hunt for grubs to eat. These animals also enjoy eating earthworms, so it’s important to have the experts of Grasshopper Gardens asses the issue in order to form the proper plan for treatment.
  • Your lawn’s turf has started to feel “spongy”. Prior to the appearance of brown spots, your lawn may feel spongy. If your lawn is well-watered, this may be an early sign of a grub issue.

Grubs, among other pests, can be detrimental to your lawn which is why Grasshopper Gardens encourages you to sign up with our Lawn Care Program. With over 30 years of experience protecting lawns in the Capital Region, we are committed to giving your lawn the treatment it deserves. We also guarantee our grub control!

Root feeding is also an effective way to enhance plant resistance to disease. When combined with our proven Lawn Care Program, you can enjoy an outdoor living area that has plants that are healthy and pest free!

Questions Customers Frequently Ask About Our Lawn Fertilization Services

The best time of year to fertilize your lawn in the New York Capital region is when the soil temperature reaches 50 degrees Fahrenheit and the grass is actively growing. It’s best to avoid times of the season when your lawn is in a stressed condition.

It is important to follow the specific fertilization recommendations for your type of grass and region to achieve optimal results. It is also a good idea to have your soil tested before fertilizing to determine the specific nutrient needs of your lawn. Grasshopper Gardens can help with this process.

It is generally safe to fertilize your lawn if you have pets or children, be sure you follow the recommended application rates and guidelines provided by the manufacturer. However, it is important to keep children and pets away from the treated areas until the fertilizer has been fully absorbed into the soil.  The typical re-entry wait time is 24 hours after the treatment has been applied.

You can fertilize your lawn yourself if you have the necessary equipment and knowledge, however it is often more convenient and effective to hire a professional lawn care company. Professional lawn care companies have the experience and expertise to properly assess the needs of your lawn and apply the appropriate fertilizers at the right time and in the right amounts.

Each service plan factors in all the necessary number of treatments your lawn will need to achieve the desired result you are looking for. Package and frequency of treatments will vary based on the current condition of your lawn and your level of desired outcome.  Our service advisors will gladly provide more details and assistance, to help you assess which package best suits your lawn and level of expectation.  Contact our service advisor experts to discuss prior to purchase.

It is generally recommended to aerate your lawn in the spring or fall. Lawn aeration involves using a special machine to punch small holes into the soil, which can help to improve the structure of the soil and increase the effectiveness of fertilizers. When the holes made during aeration are filled with fertilizer, the nutrients are able to reach the roots of the grass more easily, improving the overall health of the lawn.

In addition to improving the effectiveness of fertilizers, lawn aeration can also help to alleviate soil compaction, which can restrict the growth of the grass. By aerating the lawn, you can help to create a more hospitable growing environment for the grass, which can lead to healthier, more vibrant lawns.
