Weed Control & Fertilization · Lincoln, NE
Weeds Are A Symptom. Thin Turf Is The Cause.
Spraying what you can see kills this week’s dandelions and does nothing about why they showed up. Our six-step program runs pre-emergent ahead of germination and feeds the lawn through the season, so grass wins the space instead of weeds.
We service the Lincoln area, from Waverly and Eagle out through Crete, Seward and Milford.

Why It Works
Why A Program Beats Spot-Spraying
A weed you can see is already past the easy stage. The lawns that stay clean are the ones treated on a schedule, before germination and through the feeding season.
Pre-Emergent Beats The Seed
Crabgrass and most annual weeds germinate on soil temperature, not the calendar. Two pre-emergent visits put a barrier down before that happens, so the seed never establishes and there is nothing to spray later.
Fed Turf Crowds Weeds Out
Weeds move into gaps. Five fertilizer visits across the season keep the stand dense enough that seed hitting your lawn has nowhere to land. Density is the cheapest weed control there is.
Nebraska Runs Two Weed Seasons
Summer annuals push through the heat, then winter annuals like henbit set up in fall for a spring show. A single spray in June misses one of them entirely.

What Changes In The Lawn
Overrun To Dense
The visible result is fewer weeds. What actually changed is the density of the stand — weeds lost the space they were using.

01
Overrun
Thin turf leaves open soil. Weed seed lands, germinates, and takes the gaps before grass can fill them.

02
Prevented
Pre-emergent goes down ahead of germination. The seed that was going to sprout this season never gets started.

03
Fed
Fertilizer visits push growth into the open areas. The existing grass thickens and closes the gaps.

04
Dense
A full stand crowds out what is left. Fewer weeds each season because there is less room for them.
Getting Started
How It Works
Three steps, and the only one you handle is the first.
01
Request Your Quote
Send the form or call. Tell us roughly how big the lawn is and what you are dealing with — a lawn with scattered dandelions is a different job from one that is more clover than grass.
02
We Measure And Schedule
We confirm square footage, price the program, and put you on the visit calendar so pre-emergent lands before soil temperatures climb.
03
We Treat And Report
After each visit you get a lawn report covering what was applied, what looks good, and anything worth watching. Service calls between visits are free.

What People Say
★★★★★
We are always happy with our service from Yard Boss. Nate was timely and efficient and our yard looks great. He applied pre-emergent, fertilizer as well as weed control. We also like that we get a “lawn report” as to what looks good and what might need improvement.
Janet MillnitzGoogle review★★★★★
Logan W is thorough as he works on my lawn. The lawn looks beautiful and Logan does a great job! Found 1 little dandelion in an out of the way place in the backyard, that’s it in such a huge lawn.
Nancy LebowGoogle review★★★★★
Outstanding communication. My lawn looks great and they email me a lawn report after each time they are here. Wyatt always comes to the door first to let us know he is here.

Questions
Before You Book
If yours is not here, call and ask. We would rather answer it now.
Will I Be Notified When You’re Coming For Service?
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.
Do I Need To Mow Before You Treat My Lawn?
No, please keep your normal mowing schedule. We actually prefer the lawn is not freshly mowed: it is easier to see and identify weeds, and bigger weeds have more leaf surface area for herbicide absorption. Herbicide enters through the leaf, so more leaf means a better kill. That said, if the lawn is freshly mowed it is not a concern. We can work with any mowing schedule.
How Long Should I Wait After An Application To Mow?
Wait 24 hours after application before mowing. That gives our products more than enough time to activate and absorb into the plants. Mowing too soon can remove herbicide before it is fully absorbed by the weeds.
Do I Need To Water After Each Application?
For best results, water in within 48 hours of application. If you have underground sprinklers, just let them run on their normal schedule — no special watering needed. If you cannot water within 48 hours, the fertilizers will still work, just slightly slower. Application #6 is the exception and does not need watering, because that fertilizer is immediately available to the plant.
Are The Applications Safe For My Pets?
Yes. Your pets can be on the lawn once it is dry, which typically takes about an hour, longer on cool or cloudy days. Keep them inside during application and until the grass is completely dry, then normal activity can resume.
Will My Technician Tell Me About Problems They See In My Lawn?
Yes, in two ways. If you are home, they will raise any concerns with you directly. Whether you are home or not, they will email you a lawn report card assessing mowing height, watering practices, fungus or disease presence, and whether fall seeding is recommended.
If I Am Not Home, How Will I Know My Lawn Has Been Serviced?
Two ways. A yard sign goes at the end of the driveway or another highly visible spot, and a door hanger is left with the date, time, service details and aftercare instructions.
Are Your Applications Granular Or Liquid?
Both, on every application. All fertilizers are granular, using slow-release polymer-coated technology that feeds the lawn for 8 to 10 weeks — liquid fertilizers do not have that slow-release capability. All weed control is liquid, because it completely coats the weed leaves and ensures the herbicide penetrates. Granular herbicides cannot achieve that level of coverage.
Do I Need To Tell You If I Have Seeded My Lawn?
Yes, and this one is critical. Many of our products harm new grass seed. When you notify us we note your account, skip all pre-emergents because they prevent grass seed from germinating too, and skip all herbicides for six weeks while the new grass is vulnerable. We continue fertilizer, which is excellent for new seed. You also get a free weed control callback six weeks after seeding — just call us.
