Our Lawn Care Program

Round 1: Early Spring

The first application of our lawn care program takes place in early spring. This application is crucial as it helps your lawn recover from the cold, wet winter months. Our fertilizer is specifically formulated to give your lawn a boost of nutrients and encourage growth. Additionally, our weed control product will help prevent the growth of unwanted weeds that could impede your lawn’s growth.

Round 2: Late Spring

The second application of our lawn care program takes place in late spring. This application is designed to provide your lawn with a high concentration of iron to help control moss growth. Additionally, this is an ideal time to schedule lawn aeration. Aeration helps to loosen up the soil, allowing nutrients, water, and oxygen to reach the roots more easily. This encourages a stronger and healthier root system, resulting in a thicker and greener lawn.

Round 3: Mid-Summer

By the time we get to the third application of our lawn care program, your lawn should be off to a great start. However, it is essential to maintain your lawn’s health throughout the summer months, which can be a challenging time for your lawn. This application is designed to provide your lawn with a balanced blend of nutrients to help it thrive during the hot and dry summer months. Remember to water your lawn in after the application to ensure that the nutrients are properly absorbed.

Round 4: Early Fall

The fourth application of our lawn care program takes place in the fall. As the weather begins to cool down, your lawn may still be suffering from the dry and hot summer months. This application is designed to give your lawn a boost and help it rebound from those dry summer months. Additionally, this is the best time to schedule aerating and overseeding. Aerating helps to loosen up the soil, and overseeding helps to fill in any bare patches in your lawn, resulting in a thicker and more vibrant lawn.

Round 5: Late Fall

The final application of our lawn care program takes place in November. This is actually the most important application of the year. Winter fertilizer is specifically designed to feed your lawn’s roots all winter long, setting your lawn up for success in the spring. By providing your lawn with the necessary nutrients throughout the winter months, your lawn will emerge in the spring stronger and healthier than ever before.


We also offer a basic lawn program that includes Rounds 1, 2, and 5.


Optional Additions to Our Lawn Care Program

Broadleaf Lawn Weed Control

Controlled by spot spraying when they are actively
growing.

Optional Pre-Emergent

Prevent grassy and broadleaf weeds from being a problem. Weeds grow from seed each spring. Apply a pre emergence herbicide to stop them from growing at all. A good guideline is to spread the pre emergence herbicide as forsythia blooms in our area.

Optional Lime Application

The soil in the PNW tends to be acidic. Adjust soil pH with lime applications. The best time to apply is very early spring.

Optional Fungicides

Our wet weather, fall, winter and spring can set up conditions for lawn diseases to thrive. Preventative treatments occur later winter.


So, as you can see, our 5-step lawn care program is designed to provide your lawn with the necessary nutrients and care it needs throughout the year. By following this program, you can expect a lush, vibrant lawn that will be the envy of your neighborhood. Remember, a healthy lawn takes time and effort, but the results are well worth it!

Don’t just take our word for it…

“We contacted Busy Bee to handle some aeration/overseeding and a general mow for our home in Lacey. They directed us to their website where it was very easy to submit a quote. For people who love self-service, this is a great model as you can do everything electronically. Jeff was very patient as we added/subtracted services and you can approve the quote electronically as well.

They came shortly after and sent me a note the evening prior letting me know they would be there the next day. Lawn was moved to a good length and they had an aeration machine to get the job done. Overseeded afterwards. Our lawn was in pretty bad shape and with some watering we are seeing some growth come in. Thank you Jeff and Busy Bee!”
