Spring lawn treatments, summer care, and fall lawn treatments — your lawn’s needs change throughout the year. Lawn Pride®’s 7-Application Lawn Care Program provides tailored nutritional support and targeted care at specific times throughout the year so your lawn remains lush and healthy despite seasonal challenges.
Lawn Pride’s 7-Step Lawn Treatment Program
A lush, beautiful lawn takes work and expertise that many homeowners don’t have time to master. So, we designed Lawn Pride®’s 7-Application Lawn Care Program to simplify enjoying a beautiful lawn. You won’t need to watch the calendar to precisely time you spring lawn treatments — we take care of that for you. Unsure what your lawn might need in summer? We schedule your summer lawn treatment at the best time for your climate.
Our 7-Step Lawn Treatment Program bundles our most popular lawn treatments, providing the nutrition, pest protection, and weed suppression your lawn needs to thrive all year long.
Application 1: Early Spring Fertilizer & Pre-Emergent Weed Control
Your first spring lawn treatment occurs early in the season, just as the grass begins to wake up. We fertilize the grass, stimulating lush new growth and providing the nutrition it needs to green up and grow strong, healthy, and resilient. We also apply a pre-emergent weed control treatment, eliminating competition from crabgrass and other grassy weeds. We stop weeds from stealing your lawn’s resources before the weeds even grow. Timing is critical for effective weed control, so we take care of that for you.
Treatments Provided:
- Fertilizer
- Weed control
Application 2: Spring Weed Prevention & Fertilizer
Your second spring lawn treatment includes another fertilizer application, powering your lawn’s health and resilience. We also apply another pre-emergent application; this time, it targets broadleaf weeds like dandelions and clover, which emerge after the grassy weeds.
Warming spring soil temperatures bring newly hatched pests eager to devour your grass and its roots. So, we have added a free bonus to your second spring lawn treatment — a surface insecticide treatment that targets the pests before they harm your grass.
Treatments Provided:
- Fertilizer
- Weed control
- Pest control
Application 3: Early Summer Broadleaf Weed Control & Insect Protection
Longer daylight hours and rising temperatures make summer a challenging season for your lawn. The summer lawn treatment bolsters your lawn’s ability to thrive despite the added strain. Our summer lawn fertilizer provides targeted nutrition that helps your grass retain moisture, combatting heat stress. Next, we provide another round of broadleaf weed control, keeping those tenacious weeds from stealing your lawn’s resources.
We apply another round of surface insecticide as a free bonus with your second summer lawn treatment, preventing voracious pests from feasting on your lawn.
Treatments Provided:
- Fertilizer
- Weed control
- Pest control
Application 4: Summer Slow-Release Fertilizer & Spot Weed Control
For your second summer lawn treatment, we apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer and weed control spot treatment to keep your lawn healthy throughout the summer heat. We take all proper precautions, timing this treatment when the prevailing weather permits, ensuring maximum effectiveness with no harm to your lawn.
Treatments Provided:
- Fertilizer
- Weed control
Application 5: Fall Fertilizer, Weed Control & Insecticide
In some locations, early fall provides welcome relief from summer heat, while others continue to swelter. We time your first fall lawn treatment accordingly so it protects and feeds as temperatures cool. We provide balanced fertilizer to power your lawn’s recovery from heat stress. Broadleaf weed control prevents weeds from establishing, while an insecticide treatment prevents fall-emerging pests from damaging your lawn.
Treatments Provided:
- Fertilizer
- Weed control
- Pest control
Application 6: Late Fall Weed Control & Fertilizer
Your second fall lawn treatment ensures your grass remains healthy and protected as its metabolism slows, preparing for winter dormancy. We provide a balanced fertilizer and another liquid broadleaf weed control application. As pests prepare for winter, we keep them from fattening up on your lawn with another surface insecticide treatment as a free bonus.
Treatments Provided:
- Fertilizer
- Weed control
- Pest control
Application 7: Winterizing Fertilizer & Weed Control
To prepare your lawn for its winter dormancy, your final lawn treatment includes a high-rate fertilizer to provide a food reserve for winter. Another round of broadleaf weed control ensures your lawn won’t have competition for its precious nutrients.

Why Lawn Pride Uses Granular Fertilizer
At Lawn Pride, we use a high-quality dry granular fertilizer. That is important because granular fertilizers dissolve over time, providing essential nutrients for a greater period of time than liquid fertilizers. Some companies use liquid fertilizer because it provides faster results. Your lawn will look greener in hours or days, making the company look great. That is appealing, but the liquid product does not provide the long-term results your lawn needs. At Lawn Pride, we put your lawn’s health first.
