Your Local Lawn Care Experts
Keeping a lawn healthy in Kentucky and Southern Indiana takes more than occasional fertilizer. Our region's clay-heavy soils compact easily, wet springs drive heavy weed and disease pressure, and summer heat pushes cool-season grasses into stress before fall recovery can begin. The Turf Pro Outdoor Solutions team understands how these conditions interact – and our 7-Step Program is designed around them, not around a national calendar built for anywhere.
As a locally-owned and operated company, we've built our program on what actually works in this region. When you sign up, you get:
- Pre and post-emergent weed control applied at the correct seasonal intervals to stop annual weeds before germination and eliminate broadleaf weeds already growing in your turf.
- Balanced fertilization timed to your lawn's natural growth cycles – heavier in spring and fall when cool-season grass is actively growing, lighter in summer to avoid heat stress.
- Lawn disease monitoring at every visit, with treatment when early signs of fungal activity or other issues are identified.
- Free re-treatments if weeds or pests return between scheduled applications – no extra charge, no questions asked.
- No contracts — service on your terms, with no long-term commitment required.
Say goodbye to brown spots and hello to a lush, vibrant turf that your family and pets will love. Don't wait any longer to give your lawn the care it deserves – contact us today and let us help you achieve the lawn of your dreams.
What's Included in Our Lawn Care Program
Our program covers every treatment your lawn needs across the full season. Here's what each service does and why it matters for Kentucky and Southern Indiana turf.
Weed Control
We use both pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides to manage weeds at every stage. Pre-emergent applications go down in early spring to stop crabgrass, spurge, and other summer annuals before they germinate. Post-emergent treatments target broadleaf weeds — dandelions, clover, ground ivy, wild violet — that are already actively growing in your turf.
Fertilization
Kentucky's cool-season grasses need balanced nutrition across multiple points in the season, not a single annual feeding. Our fertilization treatments deliver the right blend of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium timed to your lawn's natural growth cycles — heavier applications in the active spring and fall growth windows, lighter in summer to avoid stress.
Core Aeration
Our region's clay-heavy soils compact over time, blocking water, air, and nutrients from reaching grass roots. Core aeration pulls small plugs from the soil surface to break up compaction and open the root zone. For cool-season turf, fall is the most effective window for aeration — right before the strongest growth period of the year.
Over-Seeding
Thin or bare areas are filled in with overseeding, typically done in early fall alongside core aeration. New seed germinates into the loosened soil and establishes before winter, resulting in a denser, more weed-resistant stand of grass by the following spring.
Power Seeding
For lawns with significant thinning or damage, power seeding (also called slit seeding) cuts directly into the soil to place seed at the correct depth for maximum germination. It produces better results than broadcast seeding alone and is the right tool when overseeding isn't enough.
How Our 7-Step Lawn Care Program Works
Not all lawn care is the same. A healthy lawn in Kentucky requires treatments timed to your grass's seasonal needs, the local climate, and the specific weed and pest pressure common across our service area. Our 7-Step Lawn Care Program delivers the right treatments at the right time — so your lawn builds strength and density from early spring through late fall.
Here's what each step includes:
Step 1 — Early Spring: Pre-Emergent + Starter Fertilizer (February–March)
The season starts with a pre-emergent herbicide application to prevent crabgrass and other summer annual weeds from germinating. We pair this with a starter fertilizer to wake up your turf after winter dormancy and encourage early green-up.
Step 2 — Spring: Pre-Emergent + Fertilizer (April–May)
A second pre-emergent application extends the barrier through late spring, when crabgrass pressure peaks in Kentucky. Additional fertilization supports active spring growth and root development.
Step 3 — Late Spring/Early Summer: Broadleaf Weed Control (May–June)
This round targets established broadleaf weeds — dandelions, clover, ground ivy, and others — that push through in warming temperatures. A maintenance fertilizer keeps your turf competitive against weed pressure.
Step 4 — Summer: Weed Control + Lawn Monitoring (July)
Summer heat stress, drought pressure, and persistent weeds make this a critical maintenance window. We apply targeted weed control and monitor your lawn for early signs of disease or insect activity.
Step 5 — Early Fall: Fertilizer + Weed Control (August–September)
Fall is the most important season for cool-season lawns. This application fuels the strong fall growth period with a balanced fertilizer while continuing to suppress late-season weeds.
Step 6 — Fall: Core Aeration + Over-Seeding (September–October)
We pull cores from your soil to relieve compaction from summer heat and foot traffic, then overseed thin or bare areas with premium tall fescue seed well-suited to Kentucky's climate. New seed fills in by early winter.
Step 7 — Late Fall: Winterizer Fertilizer (November)
The final application delivers a slow-release winterizer blend that builds carbohydrate reserves in your turf's root system — setting your lawn up for faster green-up and stronger growth the following spring.
Every step in the program is included in your annual lawn care plan. If weeds or pests return between treatments, we come back at no charge.
