If you want your lawn in Georgia to thrive throughout the year, then you should invest in lawn care services like fertilization and weed control treatments. While both of these lawn care services provide their own unique benefits, you should never do one without the other! That's because if you fertilize your lawn but don't apply any weed control treatments, then you will end up fertilizing both the weeds and the grass on your lawn. This can lead to stronger weeds and weaker grass overall. Similarly, if you schedule weed control treatments but don't provide your lawn with fertilizer, you may have a weed-free lawn, but your grass may not have the nutrients it needs to thrive. By combining these two services, you'll be able to achieve a weed-free lawn that has all of the nutrients it needs to remain healthy and beautiful!


If you fertilize your lawn but don't use weed control, then you'll end up fertilizing the weeds.

One of the worst things you could do for your lawn is to fertilize it when it's full of weeds. When you fertilize your lawn, you are giving your grass a supply of essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. These three nutrients are crucial to helping your grass grow healthy and green. However, the same goes for the weeds. So, when you fertilize your lawn without applying weed control, you are actually supplying the weeds with those same nutrients, which can make them even more robust than before. So, by applying weed control treatments to your lawn in conjunction with fertilization treatments, only your grass will be able to take advantage of the nutrient supply.

Some common weeds that are found here in Georgia include crabgrass, dandelions, clovers, and Poa annua.


If you apply weed control without fertilizer, your lawn might not get the nutrients it needs to thrive.

Weed control is an important service because it gets rid of pesky weeds that can drag down your property’s curb appeal and steal nutrients from your grass. However, weed control treatments don’t supply your lawn with any nutrients. Without nutrients, your grass may not be able to reach its full potential. It’s always best to combine weed control with fertilization so that your grass receives the nutrients it needs to flourish throughout the year.


Always combine fertilization treatments with weed control treatments.

When you combine weed control and fertilization, you give your lawn everything it needs to thrive throughout the year. Fertilizer contains many different types of nutrients that will help your grass grow strong, develop deep roots, and fight off diseases. Weed control treatments eliminate the competition between weeds and grass for nutrients, meaning your lawn will have access to everything it needs to become as healthy as possible. Combining these two services ensures that your lawn has everything it needs to stay beautiful and vibrant!
