The answer to this question has more to do with how you want your lawn to look, than what it needs. Current recommendations from Penn State University's Extension Service indicate that 4 to 5 pounds of nitrogen should be applied per area over the course of the summer. These amounts should never be applied all at one time. You can see that somewhere between 5 and 6 applications of fertilizer are needed to be sure your lawn gets the nutrients it needs to be healthy.

There's no need to be home during a treatment. It takes less than one minute to treat a thousand square feet of lawn, so we're only there for a short time.

Your lawn does best if mowed once every fourth or fifth day. Long intervals between mowing can damage grass. Also, it's best to avoid mowing when the lawn is wet or mowing during the hottest part of the day.

Crabgrass is an annual weedy grass that germinates in the summer and dies with the first frost in the fall. The best prevention is a dense, healthy lawn. For lawns that have an abundance of crabgrass, a preventive application in the early spring will prevent about 90% of the weed from appearing. Those few plants that do make it up can be hand pulled or treated later in the summer before they go to seed.
