What does each round of the 7-round program include?

Round 1 (early spring): pre-emergent plus light fertilizer. Round 2 (late spring): post-emergent broadleaf weed control plus fertilizer. Round 3 (early summer): second pre-emergent barrier plus slow-release fertilizer. Round 4 (mid-summer): spot weed treatment plus summer stress fertilizer. Round 5 (late summer): transitional fertilizer. Round 6 (early fall): fall fertilizer to support recovery and growth. Round 7 (late fall): winterizer with high potassium for root development.

Is this program safe for kids and pets?

Yes. We use EPA-registered products applied at label rates. We recommend staying off treated areas until the product has dried, typically 1-2 hours after application. Granular fertilizer applications are safe for foot traffic once watered in. We will always let you know if any specific precautions apply to a particular application.

When will I start seeing results?

Most customers notice a visible improvement in color and weed reduction within the first two to three applications. By the end of the first full season, you will see a significantly thicker lawn with far fewer weeds. Lawn health is cumulative, so the program gets more effective each year.

Do I need to water after applications?

For granular fertilizer applications, we recommend watering within 24-48 hours to activate the product. For liquid weed control, we ask that you avoid irrigation for 24 hours so the product has time to absorb into weed leaves. We include specific watering instructions with every application.

Can I combine this with your mowing service?

Absolutely, and most of our customers do. Combining mowing with lawn applications ensures your turf is cut at the right height, weeds are treated promptly, and any emerging issues are caught early. We can bundle pricing for customers who use both services.

Our 7-Round Program

Each round is timed to what your lawn needs at that stage of the season.

1 Early Spring

Pre-Emergent + Light Fertilizer

Applied when soil temps approach 55°F. Creates a barrier against crabgrass germination while giving your lawn a gentle green-up after winter dormancy.

2 Late Spring

Post-Emergent Weed Control + Fertilizer

Targets broadleaf weeds like dandelions, clover, and henbit that emerged in spring. Paired with balanced fertilizer to fuel active growth.

3 Early Summer

Second Pre-Emergent + Slow-Release Fertilizer

Reinforces the crabgrass barrier as the first application wears off. Slow-release nitrogen feeds your lawn steadily through the heat.

4 Mid-Summer

Spot Weed Treatment + Summer Stress Fertilizer

Spot-treats any breakthrough weeds rather than blanket-spraying. Light fertilizer helps turf handle summer heat and drought stress.

5 Late Summer

Transitional Fertilizer

Bridges the gap between summer stress and fall recovery. Prepares your lawn to take full advantage of the fall growing season.

6 Early Fall

Fall Fertilizer

Fall is when cool-season grasses grow most aggressively. This application fuels thickening, tillering, and recovery from summer damage.

7 Late Fall

Winterizer

High-potassium formula drives root development before the ground freezes. Sets your lawn up for an earlier, stronger green-up next spring.

A great lawn in Johnson County does not happen by accident. The tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass that thrive in our region need consistent fertilization, well-timed pre-emergent herbicide, and targeted weed control throughout the growing season. Sommer Lawn & Landscape offers a 7-round lawn application program built specifically for the cool-season grasses and clay soils common across Overland Park, Leawood, Olathe, Lenexa, and the surrounding communities.

We also provide spot treatment for persistent weeds between scheduled rounds at no extra charge for program customers. If dandelions pop up between visits, let us know and we will swing by. To get started with a lawn application program tailored to your property, call 913-225-7717. We will assess your current lawn condition and recommend the right plan to get your turf where you want it.

Why Choose Us for Lawn Applications

Here's what sets Sommer Lawn apart.

🔬

Locally Calibrated

Formulated for Johnson County soil

Our product rates and timing are calibrated for the clay-heavy soils and cool-season grasses in the Kansas City metro. We do not use a one-size-fits-all national program. Every application is tuned to what your lawn actually needs in this climate.

📊

7-Round Program

Complete coverage from March to November

Seven applications spaced throughout the growing season ensure your lawn receives consistent nutrition and weed protection. No gaps where weeds sneak in and no periods where your turf is starving for nutrients.

🌾

Pre-Emergent Timing

Applied before soil temps hit 55 degrees

Pre-emergent herbicide must go down before crabgrass germinates. We monitor soil temperatures in Johnson County and time our first application precisely so you get a full barrier before weed seeds activate.

🧪

Targeted Weed Control

Spot treatment, not blanket spraying

We spot-treat broadleaf weeds like dandelions, clover, and henbit rather than blanket-spraying your entire lawn. This uses less product, reduces environmental impact, and is more effective at eliminating problem weeds.
