A lush, vibrant lawn doesn\u2019t happen by chance. Follow our expert-recommended four-step program to keep your lawn green, healthy, and weed-free all season long.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Prevent Crabgrass<\/h2>\n

Apply a quality pre-emergent weed preventer (we like Pennington\u2019s Crabgrass Preventer) with fertilizer in early spring to stop crabgrass before it takes root. Time your application just before spring blooms, like forsythias, begin to fade for best results.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Fertilize for Healthy Growth<\/h2>\n

Feed your lawn with a well-balanced lawn fertilizer, like Pennington\u2019s Lawn Food to promote rich green color and strong, healthy growth. Always follow product guidelines for proper application.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Control Weeds While Feeding Your Lawn<\/h2>\n

Broadleaf weeds like dandelions and clover can be controlled by using Pennington\u2019s Weed and Feed. This product kills weeds by feeding healthy grass AND attacking weeds with herbicides designed to be safe for grass.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Protect Against Lawn Pests<\/h2>\n

Apply an insect control treatment in late spring or early summer to prevent damage from grubs and other lawn pests. Choose from organic options or season-long control solutions based on your needs.<\/p>\n
