What Makes Our Program Different

Fertilization Spreading & Weed Control | Yard Boss

Each of our six applications is timed precisely to address your lawn’s changing needs throughout the season, from early spring crabgrass prevention through late fall winterization.

Fertilizatin & Weed Control FAQs

At Yard Boss, we understand that you may have questions about our services, processes, and how we can help you achieve the perfect lawn.  Whether you’re curious about our lawn care techniques, service areas, or the benefits of professional lawn maintenance, you’ll find the information you need right here. If you have any additional questions, feel free to reach out to our friendly team!

Yes. When you sign up, you choose your preferred notification method: text, or email. We send notifications the day before service letting you know which technician will be servicing your lawn. You can reply to any message with special concerns or requests for the technician.

No, please keep your normal mowing schedule. We actually prefer the lawn NOT be freshly mowed because:

  • Easier to see and identify weeds
  • Bigger weeds have more leaf surface area for herbicide absorption
  • Herbicide enters through the leaf—more leaf = better kill

That said, if the lawn is freshly mowed, it's not a concern. We can work with any mowing schedule.

Wait 24 hours (one day) after application before mowing. This gives our products more than enough time to activate and absorb into plants. Mowing too soon can remove herbicide before it's fully absorbed by weeds.

 For best results, water in within 48 hours of application. However, there are some nuances:

  • If you have underground sprinklers: Just let them run on their normal schedule—no special watering needed
  • If you can't water within 48 hours: Fertilizers will still work, just slightly slower
  • Application #6 exception: Does NOT need watering—this fertilizer is immediately available to the plant

Yes. Your pets can be on the lawn once it's dry, which typically takes about 1 hour (longer on cool or cloudy days). Keep them inside during application and until grass is completely dry, then normal activity can resume.

Yes, in two ways:
If you're home: They'll communicate concerns verbally
Whether you're home or not: They'll email you a lawn report card assessing mowing height, watering practices, fungus/disease presence, and whether fall seeding is recommended

Two ways:

  • Yard sign: Placed at end of driveway or highly visible area with our logo
  • Door hanger: Includes date, time, service details, and aftercare instructions

We use BOTH on every application—this gives us the best products for each purpose:

  • All fertilizers are granular: Slow-release polymer-coated technology feeds lawn for 8-10 weeks. Liquid fertilizers don't have this slow-release capability.
  • All weed control is liquid: Completely coats weed leaves, ensuring herbicide penetrates and kills weeds. Granular herbicides can't achieve this level of coverage.

This hybrid approach delivers superior results compared to all-granular or all-liquid programs.

YES! This is critical. Many of our products harm new grass seed. When you notify us of seeding:

  • We note your account
  • We skip all preemergents (they prevent grass seed germination too)
  • We skip all herbicides for 6 weeks (new grass is vulnerable until mowed 3× times)
  • We continue fertilizer (excellent for new seed!)
  • You get a free weed control callback 6 weeks after seeding, just call us!
