Cole showed up bright and early, and was highly focused on roughly 2-acres of yard work to fertilize and weed. He was very polite and did a slow and thorough job while he was here. If I could leave 10 stars, I would!

After visiting for a step in our fertilizer program, Cole noticed the small brown patches in our lawn. After following up with Summit, Cole was back within a week to apply a fungicide for the fungus problem. Cole was knowledgeable and super friendly. Thanks for another great job!!

Our lawn fertilization program is designed to provide the nutrients your turf needs throughout the growing season. We select the right NPK blend based on your grass type, whether you have cool-season grass or warm-season grass, and focus on delivering the proper balance of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Our team evaluates soil pH and nutrient availability so we can apply the most effective fertilizer for your lawn's specific needs.
Depending on the time of year, we may utilize slow-release nitrogen for extended feeding or quick-release nitrogen for faster green-up. From spring feeding to winterizer fertilizer applications, our treatments support healthy root growth, reduce weed pressure, improve your lawn's defense against weeds and pests, and promote a greener lawn that can better withstand drought stress.
It is important to understand that getting a thick, green lawn is a process. One application of fertilizer and lawn treatment to spray weeds will not solve long term problems. You can sign up at any point during the season and hop into the current application rotation, but this service is designed to work as an ongoing program. We are encouraging the grass to grow thicker with each application, and continually killing off new weeds as they appear. So when is the best time to begin? Today!
Proper fertilizer selection is only part of the equation. We carefully calculate the application rate based on your lawn's square footage and the concentration of nutrients in each fertilizer product. We also utilize specialty fertilizer products when additional nutrients or seasonal support are needed.
Our team follows proven application practices, including proper watering-in procedures when appropriate, to maximize nutrient uptake while minimizing runoff and leaching. This attention to detail helps improve nutrient availability, reduce the risk of fertilizer burn, and ensure your lawn receives the full benefit of every fertilization treatment.
When it comes to your lawn, there are three variables at play: anything we do, anything you do, and anything nature does. We work together with you to combat whatever nature throws our way. What does that mean? After each fertilizer application, we provide you with a summary of what we did, what you can expect to see, and any directions you may need to complete. This is where you will find any pertinent watering directions for this specific application.
Yes! By default, our GreenGuard program covers 150+ different kinds of weeds. Got something special in your yard? We have solutions for that, too. There really are no weeds that we can't control for you!
Pre-emergent is a preventative weed control. We put it out to prevent weeds before they even pop! The most common weed controlled by pre-emergent is crabgrass. Crabgrass seeds will always find their way into your soil throughout the year. They sit in anticipation all summer, fall, and winter, and when spring rolls around they try to pop! We time pre-emergent perfectly before the crabgrass pops up to stop it. Metaphorically, pre-emergent is like a blanket we put over the lawn, preventing crabgrass from sprouting up when it tries to grow. We do two rounds of pre-emergent with our program to doubly ensure crabgrass doesn't show it's face in your lawn!
Each round of our GreenGuard program is specifically engineered by our partner agronomists right here in Nebraska! Every round is unique, based on the time of year and what the weather is doing. These applications are like a super-charged smoothie for your lawn, with different ingredients each time. We use different kinds of fertilizers, weed controls, and all sorts of soil amendment goodies like humics and fulvics, sea kelp, biostimulants, yeast, and all sorts of things that your soil LOVES. Remember: THICK, BEAUTIFUL grass comes from HAPPY SOIL. So we put a lot of science and effort into incredibly nutritious soil for your grass to feed off of.
Absolutely! There are times of year where weather and rain do a lot for you, but to get best results you need to ensure your lawn gets the proper amount of water each week. After every application, we give you specific watering directions to follow for that time of year and that application. It's really easy!
All our applications are people and pet friendly. It's always best to stay off the lawn until it's dry, which is generally 2 hours. After that, you, your kids, and the pets are all ready to go frolic again!
However you want! Call, text, or email us and we'll have someone out to your home within 48hrs to knock those bad boys out!
Your lawn is not a camel. It doesn't thrive getting one drink of water every couple weeks when it rains. The University of Nebraska recommends 1.5" of water per week for lawns in our area. Every irrigation system is different, but a general rule of thumb if you have an underground system is 3 days per week for 20-30 minutes per zone. This will vary on your sprinkler heads and head locations. If you use a hose and above ground sprinkler, try doubling that time. You can actually test how much water your sprinklers are putting out by doing the tuna can test! Tuna cans work great because they have straight sides that don't funnel to the center. Simply set a tuna can in the middle of the area your sprinklers are running and see how much water has accumulated after 20 minutes. Aim for 1/2" of water 3 times per week, and you'll pretty well be set!
Lastly, if we're in a particularly hot or dry spell with weather consistently 90 degrees+, add an extra 10-15 minutes of time to each zone.
Remember, we include detailed watering guides with each of our applications so you know what the best practice is for each time of year.
Ready to give your Lincoln, NE lawn the nutrient boost it needs? Our team is ready to get to work on your lawn. To give you a comprehensive lawn care plan, we even focus on controlling weeds with pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicide treatments, as well as controlling fungal diseases and grub infestations.
