Lawn Care Program

The Lawn Care Program uses 6 applications through the season to target weeds and fertilize your lawn. J Rick uses locally blended products that are formulated specifically for Colorado Springs' soils and weather conditions.

If your lawn is lush, there will be no room for weeds to grow. Based on individual lawn conditions, experienced technicians will determine whether the lawn needs a spot or broadcast weed spray.

Soils in the Colorado Springs area lack many essential nutrients needed for grass to grow and for trees and shrubs to flourish. A balanced fertility program is necessary to supplement the lack of nutrients in our soils. Our fertilizers are controlled released to mitigate any potential for burn. This controlled release also give your lawn a consistent feeding for up to 6 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will lawn fertilizer hurt my dog?

Pesticides, ultimately, are tools that are used to protect one organism from being preyed upon by another. Before any pesticide can be sold it must be evaluated and approved first by the federal government and then by each individual state. This registration process includes looking at how this product interacts with dogs. No product that shows a clear danger to dog’s health can be successfully registered. Any product used in lawn care has an accompanying label and safety data sheet as documentation stating how the product is to be used as well as the hazards that it poses to people, animals and the environment. Those documents are not mere suggestions; they are the law and must be followed to the letter by the licensed applicators that use them.

How long should my children and pets stay off the lawn after scheduled applications?

For herbicides/pesticides that have been applied, we recommend waiting about 1-2 hours, but you should always double check to make sure any product applied has dried before allowing children or pets around treated areas. Humans and pets should always remain inside during an application. The drying time for herbicides/ pesticides can vary depending on environmental factors. Before letting your children or pets out to roam the area where the chemical was applied, double-check to ensure the area is completely dry. It's important that you know that the products we use have all been carefully screened and are regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

What if it rains after my scheduled applications?

If the weed control was applied in a light rain, results should still be satisfactory. The weed control is foliar absorbed and applied with a material to help it stick to the leaf surface before being taken in through the pores of the leaf. As long as the material is not washed off the leaf, control will occur. If you do not see leaf curling in 10 days, please call our office for a free re-treatment.

Bed Weed Control Program

Scratch "pulling weeds" off your to do list each weekend and spend your time more wisely. We will maintain of those pesky weeds growing in your mulch and rock beds. This service focuses on rock and mulch beds, not lawns.

Due to Colorado Springs' weather conditions, weeds will populate at different times throughout the year. We will spot spray weeds and unwanted grasses to prevent any damage to plant material. The Pre-Emergent we use in the early spring will keep certain weeds from germinating.

We do guarantee our weed control and will offer free follow up visits if necessary.

The locally blended products we use are safe for your pets and kids who will enjoy your healthy yard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to the weeds when they die?

How often are pesticides used?

We practice integrated pest management. Our goal is to get the lawn thick, and healthy through good fertilization, watering, and cultural care. A thick, healthy lawn provides a natural defense against weeds, and lessens the need for herbicide. Our goal as a company is to educate, and perform services that will require less pesticides over time. We do not use ‘’combo’’ or ‘’liquid’’ fertilizers that require broadcasting pesticides if not needed. We only broadcast spray pesticide if there is a large weed issue, but most applications are spot spraying if necessary. Every property and customer has different needs, and expectations.

How long should I wait to mow my lawn after the weed control treatment?

Are your weed control products organic?

Seasonal Aeration

Our Deep core aeration helps reduce soil compaction and improves uptake of water and fertilizer for a healthier lawn.

The process of pulling soil cores out of the ground allows more air, water, and nutrients into the root zone of lawns at the essential time of development. Healthy roots will determine the overall health of your entire lawn.

How can you know if your lawn needs aeration?

You have difficulty sticking a screwdriver or a pencil into the soil.
Your lawn looks thin, patchy, or bare.
The thatch layer is thicker than one-half inch.
The clay soil is heavy.

Aeration alleviates compaction from kids and pets, increases lawn density with new and deeper roots, and reduces thatch to prevent certain turf diseases.

Cost

Pricing is based off of square footage.

0 - 2,000 sq ft - $53/application
2,001 - 4,000 sq ft - $63/application
4,001 - 6,000 sq ft - $75/application

Scheduling

We recommend aerating in the spring - April/May - and fall - August/September - since these are the two most crucial times for root development.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to remove the aeration plugs?

How often should I aerate my lawn?

Do I need to mark my sprinkler heads prior to the service date?

Should I water my lawn prior to my aeration service date?

Should I mow my lawn before my aeration service date?

Do you recommend power raking?

Power raking is typically not recommended due to the fact that it can be more harmful than beneficial to lawns. Power raking can remove too much grass and stress the existing root system, which can cause more weeds and bare spots. Aeration in the spring and fall is the most beneficial way to remove thatch. If you do notice excessive thatch, due to dry winter months, you can lightly rake those areas in the spring.

Turf Disease Control (Fungus)

Due to our poor soils in Colorado Springs, many lawns will develop fungus; the most common one being Necrotic Rings Spot (NRS).

This fungus will thrive in areas with poor drainage.

It is crucial that the fungicide application is applied at the correct times to be effective.

It is recommended that this treatment is continued for a minimum of 3 years, but in some case it could require more, as this fungus is in the soil and has been known to be 8-10’’ down into the soil.

Scheduling

The first application is typically in mid-May when soil temps reach 65 degrees (F) and the second must be applied 21-30 days later. The recommended application duration is at least 3 years.

Seeding

Seeding is the process of planting grass seeding directly into existing turf.

Seeding is beneficial to fill in bare patches in the lawn. If there are large dead areas it may be necessary to add topsoil.

Due to our arid conditions in Colorado Springs, seeding is often necessary to repair areas of lawn that were damaged over the winter. Seeding works best when done with aeration.

We offer an aeration/overseed/topdressing package based off the size of your lawn. We also offer aeration and seeding separately.

Cost

A price will be quoted for you based on a site evaluation and square footage.

Scheduling

We recommend seeding in the spring - April/May - and fall - August/September - in addition to aeration (see previous section).

Testimonials

I had Jon Rick do my lawn care spraying and reseeding. He did a Great Job! Super product, excellent service and fair price. I found it to be the best value in town! I'm a very satisfied customer.

David Currier (5 OF 5 STARS)

We were pleased with the timing of our aeration (weather-wise) and the timing of the arrival of Tyler on the day....Based on the high level of customer service, honesty, and good aeration job, we will definitely use J. Rick again. 🙂

Charlene M., Flying Horse (5 of 5 STARS)

I want to tell you what an outstanding job you have done on our lawn this year. Last year our front yard was a weed patch and I thought we were going to need to replace all of our lawn, which would have been very expensive. Thankfully, you offered a very cost-friendly solution to get our lawn back in shape. Once again, we have the greenest lawn on the block and at an affordable price! Thanks!
