Fertilizer and Weed Control

Our experts specialize in knowing how and when to apply fertilizer for a beautiful, thick, dark green lawn. Key to this process is four rounds of targeted treatments that feed your lawn with essential nutrients it needs to grow thick and healthy.

Barrett also offers a new organic fertilizer program that provides many advantages to your lawn and to the environment. Traditional chemical fertilizers can make the turf get “addicted” and lose the ability for natural microbes in the soil to strengthen and maintain a healthy root system. Runoff of nitrogen and other chemicals in commercial fertilizers find their way into lakes and streams causing algae blooms and polluting our valuable water resources. We use a four-step process that gradually improves the health of the soil and builds a thick and lasting turf.

We also recommend biannual and spot spray weed control treatments to keep pesky broadleaf weeds at bay. All the trained applicators at Barrett are licensed by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and undergo continuing education. They can spot, diagnose and treat turf disease and pathogens to keep your lawn healthy and vibrant.
