Welcome to Jonathan Green! Thank you for signing up for our newsletter and expressing an interest in our feed your lawn AND your soil program, called the New American Lawn Plan. We are excited to be working with you to achieve a great lawn this year! Don't forget to include jongreenlawn@gmail.com in your address book to keep receiving helpful tips throughout the year.
Is it time for Green-Up Weed and Feed?
If it has been six to eight weeks since your early spring fertilizer application, then it’s the perfect time.
Green-Up Weed & Feed is both a lawn food and a broadleaf weed herbicide. In fact, unlike the National Brand, which kills approximately 70 weeds, Green-Up Weed & Feed kills over 250, including dandelions, clover, chickweed, and oxalis! Apply Green-Up Weed & Feed when the air temperature is below 85° and the humidity is low. Additionally, remember to apply it to a damp lawn so that the herbicide sticks to the weed leaves. Please make certain that no rain or irrigation happens for 48 hours after treatment. Raining or watering before this time will wash the herbicide off the leaves and render weed control ineffective. For similar reasons, stay off the lawn for the same time period. You may water – and resume normal traffic - after the 48-hour time period is over.
Controlling Weeds with a Thick, Healthy Lawn
Grow this...
Weeds are a symptom of weakened turf, not the cause of it. Thin turf, bare spots, and poor growth are the reasons that weeds invade the lawn.
To insure the best lawn results, follow our
New American Lawn Annual Program.

Poor, weak turfgrass varieties
