Fertilization & Weed Control

Healthy, attractive turf requires different care as the growing season progresses. JML Landscape provides commercial turf fertilization and weed control throughout the Pittsburgh area, with applications timed around the changing needs of the landscape.

Our turf programs combine fertilizer and targeted weed control to support healthy growth, maintain turf color and manage unwanted weeds throughout the season. Your dedicated Client Relations Manager can help develop a program based on your property's conditions, expectations and budget.

Commercial Turf Fertilization

Sometimes Mother Nature needs a hand. Fertilizer supplies nutrients that support healthy turf growth, but successful fertilization requires more than simply applying the same product throughout the year.

JML's turf program considers the demands of each season, adjusting applications as the landscape moves from spring green-up through summer and into fall and winter preparation.

This seasonal approach allows turf care to respond to changing needs rather than treating every part of the growing season the same.

Broadleaf Weed Control

Weeds compete with desirable turf and can quickly detract from the appearance of a professionally maintained commercial property.

JML incorporates broadleaf weed control into seasonal turf applications, including treatments during spring and again later in the growing season.

By combining weed management with an ongoing turf-care program, we can address unwanted growth while continuing to focus on the overall health and appearance of the lawn.

JML's Seasonal Turf Application Program

A typical JML turf program includes five seasonal stages:

March — Spring Fertilizer & Pre-Emergent Weed Control
Supports spring green-up while providing early-season weed control.

April & May — Fertilizer + Broadleaf Weed Control
Helps maintain turf color while controlling broadleaf weeds into summer.

June & July — Supplemental Fertilizer
Supports turf vigor through summer, with optional grub-control treatment available.

August & September — Fertilizer + Broadleaf Weed Control
Continues fertilization and weed management as the landscape transitions toward fall.

October & November — Winterizing Fertilizer
Supports root development and turf health heading into winter and the following spring.

Specific recommendations can vary depending on the property and its landscape needs.

Responsible Turf Applications

Fertilizer and chemical applications require care and expertise.

JML's fertilizer and chemical applications are performed under the supervision of a Licensed Pesticide Applicator and in accordance with applicable county, state and federal requirements, using EPA-registered materials and approved application methods.

JML also takes care to keep stray fertilizer off sidewalks and other paved surfaces where it could enter nearby drains, and our existing environmental practices include the use of phosphate-free fertilizers.

It's part of our commitment to caring for the entire landscape—not simply making the grass greener.
