Landscape Bed Services
Tree & Shrub Program (Ornamental Program)
Timing: March-October
Our comprehensive Tree and Shrub program includes 5 annual applications to help keep your landscape beds happy and healthy. This program includes a spring fertilization to help jump start everything for the year, 3 summer insect and disease treatments, and a fall fertilization to help keep your plants and shrubs healthy throughout the winter months. Bagworms are also covered under this treatment program.
Round 4- Mid Summer Fertilization
Timing: June-July
Mid-way through the summer, another full rate of fertilizer is applied on Bermuda and Zoysia to help keep feeding the lawn and keeping it healthy. Fescue is not fertilized this time of year. Sedges and broadleaf weeds are also spot sprayed as needed.
Round 7- Fall Pre-Emergent
Timing: October-December
This application is designed to help prevent unwanted winter weeds such as henbit and purple deadnettle. Fescue will receive a full rate of fertilizer during this round as well. This is also the last scheduled application for the season on all lawns.
Landscape Bed Weed Prevention
Timing: January-December
This program is designed to help keep unwanted weeds out of your landscape beds. While it is not 100% foolproof, it will drastically reduce the number of weeds that will need to be hand pulled! This 7-application program consists of pre and post emergent applications to help prevent most weeds from coming up and knocking down the ones that do. A small buffer is left around the base of existing ornamentals so as to not damage them during the service.
Round 5- Late Summer Fertilization
Timing: July-August
It is important to couple our fertilization services with an appropriate irrigation and mowing schedule. Watering and mowing are stressful enough to keep up with this time of year; let the pros at Elevate handle your fertilization and weed control portion. Bermuda and Zoysia will receive their last full rate of the year while Fescue is still not fertilized just yet.
Round 6- Fall Broadleaf Weed Control
Timing: September-October
As we start winding down from the heat of the summer, there will tend to be an influx of weeds. We time this application specifically for those issues. Since recent studies from the University of Arkansas show the importance of fall fertilization for Bermuda lawns, we also include a half rate of fertilizer. Zoysia is no longer fertilized at this point in the year to help aid in disease prevention. Fescue will receive a half rate of fertilizer with Bermuda.
