The Emerald Way

Lawn/Pest Package Details

We keep your lawn looking so amazing year-round by taking chemistry, local soil biology & weather into account to keep it healthy.

Round 1 (Jan-Feb)

Soil Enhancer

Your lawn starts the year strong with under-the-surface soil amendments that address the challenges of clay-heavy and compaction-prone Texas soil. 

We apply humic acid to boost water retention, increase the availability of essential nutrients, improve soil structure, and stimulate the growth of beneficial soil microorganisms. 

Additionally, we apply a pre-emergent treatment to target any lingering late-germinating weeds.

With every visit, we control weeds by spot-treating them using a specially formulated solution that can handle even the toughest Texas weeds.

Round 2 (Feb-Mar)

Revitalizer & Weed Barrier

At this stage, we ensure your lawn gets the nourishment it needs with our custom-blended fertilizer containing bio-nutrients. We also apply pre-emergent weed control to prevent weeds from germinating and sprouting in your lawn. 

  • Quick and slow-release fertilizers encourage your lawn to grow thicker at a steady, healthy rate.
  • Nitrogen supports spring growth by boosting vertical development and enhancing that vibrant green color.
  • Pre-emergent weed control for Bermuda and Buffalo lawns helps manage aggressive spring weeds.
  • Potassium promotes strong, deep root systems for long-term lawn health.
  • For St. Augustine lawns, we add sulfur to balance the soil’s high pH levels.

Our team will also spot-treat common lawn issues like lawn insects and diseases.

Round 3 (Mar-Apr)

Spring Color Burst & Growth Enhancer

During spring, grasses start to grow vigorously. We support their healthy growth on your lawn using nitrogen, a primary nutrient required for thicker, lusher, and greener lawns. 

Spring to early summer is also when beetle eggs hatch into grubs. We apply high-quality, long-lasting grubworm treatment once annually, between March and November, to protect your lawn from these root-damaging pests. 

With our weed and grub control treatments as well as our lawn fertilization services in Waco, TX, you can be confident that your lawn will stay green and healthy throughout spring.

Round 4 (Apr-Jun)

Stress Reliever

Summer in Texas means lots of scorching hot days. Excess heat stresses lawns, so to counteract its effects and fortify your turf, we apply the following: 

  • Nitrogen: Supports consistent stolon growth while reducing the chances of lawn “burn” damage
  • Fulvic Acid: Along with essential nutrients, fulvic acid conditions the soil, preparing it for warmer temperatures.
  • Weed Treatment: Targets and manages grassy weeds 

Spot Treatment: As-needed treatments for broadleaf weeds, fungi, and harmful insects

Round 5 (Jun-Jul)

Rejuvenator 

Too much heat can cause Waco lawns to wilt and become stressed, leaving them vulnerable to diseases, pests and thinning. We provide lawn fertilization services for Waco lawns that help them withstand the Texas heat and stay lush and healthy. These involve applications of: 

  • Slow-release Liquid nitrogen: Keeps grass green for longer without burning 
  • Humic and Fulvic Acid: Reduces turf heat
  • Organic Matter: Amends soil for better moisture retention and nutrient availability 

As always, we apply spot treatments for broadleaf weeds as well as treat lawn insects and turf disease.

Round 6 (Jul-Sep)

Recovery 

Our new slow-release liquid fertilizer keeps your lawn green and healthy throughout summer. This product supports microbial activity and provides steady nourishment to the soil.  We also apply: 

  • Humic and Fulvic Acid: Reduces thatch as well as improves water retention
  • Slow-release Liquid Nitrogen: Ensures long-lasting, healthy green color

As with every visit, we provide spot treatments against broadleaf weeds, turf disease and lawn insects whenever necessary.

Round 7 (Sep-Oct)

Harmonizer & Weed Barrier

When the chill enters the air, we prepare your lawn for the colder months ahead. Our focus during fall is to restore your lawn from surface-level stress while keeping weeds in check below the surface.

  • We add microorganisms to boost the roots’ ability to hold onto nutrients.

For Bermuda Lawns:

  • A small dose of nitrogen revives areas hit by summer issues like drought, disease and pests.
  • Our six-month weed control barrier blocks weeds before they can even sprout.

For St. Augustine/Zoysia Lawns:

  • Nitrogen keeps St. Augustine growing strong.
  • A light pre-emergent treatment tackles weeds without damaging the roots.

Round 8 (Nov-Dec)

Winter Soil Conditioner

During winter, grass goes dormant, but the roots and soil still need nourishment and care. We continue providing lawn fertilization services for Waco, TX, lawns during this time. 

We use: 

  • Potassium: Helps stressed areas bounce back faster from drought and reduces damage in the winter
  • Sulfur: This tackles high pH levels caused by limestone and local water.
  • Magnesium: This essential macronutrient keeps your lawn strong.

We’ll also spot-treat any broadleaf weeds, insects, or lawn diseases as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions from Our McKinney Customers

How often should I water my lawn without overwatering?

North Texas lawns benefit from deep, infrequent watering. Water early in the morning and follow local guidelines to help reduce evaporation and stress during hot summer months.

Why do I have brown or thinning patches in my lawn?

In McKinney, brown or thinning areas are often caused by heat stress, insect damage, soil compaction, or uneven watering. We can evaluate your lawn to determine the cause and apply targeted treatments to help the turf recover and grow more evenly.

Should I aerate my lawn, and when is the best time in McKinney?

Yes, it's important to aerate your lawn to keep it healthy year-round. The best time to aerate warm-season grasses in North Texas is late spring through early summer, when grass is actively growing and can recover quickly.

What pests are most common around Texas homes?

Common pests in our area include ants (especially fire ants), spiders, mosquitoes, ticks, roaches, and rodents, many of which remain active year-round.

How quickly should I expect results after a pest treatment?

Most customers see pest activity decrease shortly after treatment, but full control can take several days to a few weeks, depending on the pest and infestation level. Our ongoing service plans help prevent pests from returning between treatments.
