Fertilization & Weed Control

Keep your yard healthy, lush, and green all year round.

Top Choice Lawn Care offers a comprehensive lawn program through our trusted local service providers. Treatments are performed by these partners and overseen directly by our team to ensure consistency, quality, and responsiveness.

Many people only treat their yard when they see weeds, but being proactive beats being reactive. Year-round care creates far better results than spot treatments. Think of it like your own health: you can’t eat well and exercise for one week a year and expect to be fit. A healthy lawn is the same way: it’s a process, not a quick fix.

Our 9-step annual program includes the right mix of fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. We also apply an organic, bio-nutritional product to support helpful microorganisms — just as Mother Nature intended. Broadleaf weeds, insects, and disease activity are spot-treated with each visit as needed. And if something pops up between applications? Our partners provide free service calls to keep your lawn on track.
