Lawn treatments in St. Paul

St. Paul is a five- to ten-minute drive north of our shop at 2743 Hwy P in O'Fallon, the closest city on our routes. Lawns here run an acre or more on open prairie-edge ground, in full sun and full wind, and a big lawn like that is priced by measured square footage. The good news is that the cost per square foot on a large lawn is lower than on a subdivision lot, and the lawn is easy to treat efficiently.

The program runs five rounds: early spring fertilizer with crabgrass pre-emergent, late spring feeding with broadleaf control, a summer treatment with spot-spraying, early fall fertilizer, and a late fall winterizer. We use a ride-on spreader and sprayer sized for acreage, flag the lawn after each visit, and leave a note with what was applied.

What the program includes

Early spring fertilizer with crabgrass pre-emergent

Late spring feeding with broadleaf weed control for dandelions, clover, henbit, and plantain

Summer treatment timed for heat, with spot-spraying of weeds that break through

Early fall fertilizer to rebuild roots after summer stress

Late fall winterizer so the lawn greens up early next spring

A note after each visit on what was applied and what to watch for

How fertilization & weed control works in St. Paul

We measure and quote the lawn

The price is based on your St. Paul lawn's square footage. You get a per-application price and the full season schedule up front.

Applications on schedule

Each round goes down in its window, timed to soil temperature rather than a calendar date. You do not need to be home.

A thicker lawn each year

Dense turf crowds out weeds on its own. By the second season most lawns need far less spot treatment.

Weeds on open ground

A St. Paul lawn borders fields and fence lines, and that is where the weeds come from: dandelion, clover, and plantain blowing in from the edges, crabgrass filling the sunny stretches that thin in August, and the occasional thistle. The spring rounds and the summer spot treatment handle them, and we pay extra attention to the fence lines on every visit. Fall aeration and overseeding thickens the stand so there is less bare soil for seed to land in.

What fertilization costs in St. Paul

Fertilization and weed control in St. Paul is priced per application, quoted for free from a measurement of your turf. The price depends on:

Lawn square footage. Product is applied by area, so a larger lawn costs more per round.

Number of rounds. The standard program is five applications. Lawns coming off a rough year sometimes add a sixth.

Current condition. A lawn that is mostly weeds needs heavier broadleaf treatment the first season.

Add-ons. Grub control, fall aeration, overseeding, and lime for acidic soil can be added to the program.

Fertilization & Weed Control questions from St. Paul homeowners

Before soil temperatures hold around 55 degrees, which in St. Paul is usually late March to early April, about when forsythia blooms. Miss that window and the pre-emergent cannot stop seed that has already sprouted.
Five is the standard for tall fescue in St. Charles County: early spring, late spring, summer, early fall, and late fall. Zoysia lawns get a different schedule weighted toward summer.
Once the application has dried, usually within an hour or two, the lawn can be used normally. We leave a flag and a note after each visit so you know when it went down.
Yes. Both need a different product than ordinary broadleaf killer, and we treat them on the summer and fall rounds. Violets take a couple of seasons to fully knock back.
Yes. Fertilizer does its best work on a lawn that is mowed high and watered deeply about once a week in summer. Pair the program with our mowing in St. Paul and we coordinate both.
