Lawn Challenges in New Stanton & South Hempfield

Open residential lots along the New Stanton corridor experience high sun exposure, rapid moisture evaporation, and clay subsoil cracking.

Thermal Sun & Heat Burn

With fewer mature trees on many New Stanton properties, summer sun quickly bakes topsoil. Over-applying granular nitrogen in midsummer causes severe leaf scorch. Our Application 4 uses liquid amino acids and bio-stimulants to sustain growth without risk of burn.

Summer Beetle Larvae (Grubs)

Beetles prefer open, sunny yards to lay their eggs. If left untreated, grubs chew through turf roots in August, causing grass to lift like a loose carpet. Our preventative insecticide in Application 2 halts larvae before any damage occurs.

Winter Annual Weed Pressure

Chickweed, henbit, and annual bluegrass invade sparse turf in late fall. Application 5 includes broadleaf management and an optional pre-emergent for lawns not undergoing fall overseeding to keep turf pristine through winter.

Lawn Fertilization Program

Six Timed Rounds Built for New Stanton Lawns

Scientifically balanced nutrition and weed control formulated for Western PA sunshine and clay loam soils.

1 Application 1
Early Spring
Pre-emergent Fertilizer

This application prevents the germination of summer annual weeds, such as crabgrass, foxtail, spurge, and goosegrass. It also provides essential nutrients to nourish your lawn as it emerges from winter dormancy.

2 Application 2
Late Spring
Pre-emergent Insecticide Herbicide Bio-nutrients

A second round of pre-emergent ensures a robust defense against summer annuals. During this phase, we apply a specialized insecticide to target sub-surface larvae, including grubs, armyworms, and weevils. This application also controls existing weeds while promoting vigorous growth and vibrant color.

3 Application 3
Early Summer
Fertilizer Herbicide

We apply a slow release fertilizer designed to feed the lawn into the summer. This service also includes targeted spot treatments for any persistent weeds.

4 Application 4
Mid Summer
Liquid Fertilizer

We apply a mid-summer liquid, low-nitrogen fertilizer enhanced with amino acids and other essential nutrients. This treatment assists the lawn in recovering from the stress of summer heat.

5 Application 5
Early Fall
Bio-nutrients Herbicide

This treatment utilizes a nitrogen-rich fertilizer to boost growth and color following the summer season. A broadcast herbicide treatment is used to manage existing weeds. For lawns prone to winter annuals like annual bluegrass, chickweed, or henbit, an optional pre-emergent can be applied.

Please note: If a pre-emergent is applied at this time, overseeding cannot be performed until the following season.
6 Application 6
Late Fall
High Potassium

The final application of the season features a high-potassium fertilizer to nourish the lawn before winter dormancy. This promotes long-term root health and ensures a rapid green-up in the spring.

Local Help & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions: New Stanton Lawn Care

How do you prevent heat burn on sunny New Stanton yards?

During July and August, hot sun on dry clay will scorch grass if high-nitrogen fertilizer is spread. We use our specialized low-nitrogen liquid formula with amino acids in Application 4 to feed grass gently while shielding it from drought and heat stress.

Do you service homes in Hunker, Youngwood, and nearby areas?

Yes. We treat residential properties across New Stanton Borough, Hunker, Youngwood, and adjacent areas of southern Hempfield Township.

Is grub prevention included in your regular 6-round program?

Yes! Application 2 (Late Spring) incorporates our sub-surface preventative insecticide to eliminate grubs before they hatch in July and damage your root system.
