Lawn Fertilization and Weed Control: The Perfect Partnership for a Healthier Lawn

A thick, vibrant, weed-free lawn doesn’t happen by chance—it’s the result of two essential treatments working together: fertilization and weed control.

While fertilization feeds your grass, weed control protects it from competition. When done at the right time and in the right balance, they form a powerful partnership that keeps your lawn healthy and beautiful.

Here’s how Anointed Lawn Care helps homeowners achieve long-lasting results by combining these two critical services.

1. The Role of Fertilization

Think of fertilization as your lawn’s nutrition plan. It provides the essential nutrients—nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium—needed for healthy growth, deep roots, and rich color.

Fertilization helps your grass:

• Grow thicker and stronger
• Recover quickly from drought or heat
• Resist disease and pests
• Develop deep, stable roots

By feeding your lawn properly, you create a dense turf that naturally crowds out weeds and resists stress.

2. The Role of Weed Control

Weeds steal water, nutrients, and sunlight from your grass. Without consistent control, they can quickly take over your lawn.

There are two main types of weed control:

• Pre-emergent: Prevents weed seeds from sprouting.
• Post-emergent: Targets and kills existing weeds.

Anointed Lawn Care uses both, timed throughout the season to stop weeds before they become a problem—and to remove any that sneak through.

3. Why Fertilization and Weed Control Work Best Together

Fertilization strengthens your grass, while weed control removes competition. When used together, they create a balanced system that promotes growth and prevents infestations.

A well-fed lawn fills in bare spots faster, leaving little room for weeds to grow. Meanwhile, weed control ensures those nutrients go to your grass—not unwanted invaders.

This combination produces:

• Healthier, greener grass
• Fewer weeds over time
• Better nutrient absorption
• Long-term lawn improvement

4. Timing Is Everything

Applying fertilization and weed control at the right times of year makes all the difference.

• Early Spring: Apply pre-emergent weed control and fertilizer to jumpstart growth.
• Late Spring: Feed grass again for strong summer growth.
• Summer: Spot-treat for weeds and maintain balanced nutrients.
• Fall: Apply a final fertilizer to strengthen roots for winter.

Anointed Lawn Care’s seasonal treatment plan ensures your lawn gets exactly what it needs when it needs it.

5. Understanding Weed Types

Not all weeds are the same. Some grow in cool months, others in summer. Common types include:

• Broadleaf weeds: Dandelions, clover, plantain
• Grassy weeds: Crabgrass, dallisgrass
• Sedges: Nutgrass and similar water-loving species

Each type requires specific timing and treatment. That’s why a professional lawn care team uses customized products to target the right weeds for your area.

6. Common Fertilization Mistakes to Avoid

DIY fertilization often leads to overfeeding or uneven coverage, which can cause:

• Burnt grass from too much nitrogen
• Patchy growth from uneven application
• Thatch buildup from improper timing

Anointed Lawn Care’s fertilization program uses slow-release products and precise applications to maintain steady growth without damage.

7. Benefits of Consistent Lawn Treatments

A one-time treatment can help, but long-term results come from consistency. Regular fertilization and weed control treatments deliver:

• Ongoing protection from new weeds
• Continuous nutrient supply
• Stronger, more resilient turf
• Improved color and density

Over time, your lawn builds natural defenses against stress, disease, and unwanted growth.

8. Eco-Friendly Lawn Care Options

If you’re concerned about the environment, Anointed Lawn Care offers eco-conscious solutions. We use professional-grade, environmentally responsible products that promote soil health and minimize runoff.

Healthy soil supports beneficial microorganisms and keeps your lawn naturally strong—reducing the need for harsh chemicals over time.

9. The Power of Local Expertise

Soil types and weed species vary across North Texas, so what works in one area might not work in another.

Anointed Lawn Care’s team understands the specific challenges of Newark, Burleson, and Haslet lawns—from clay-heavy soil to region-specific weeds. This local knowledge ensures treatments are effective and long-lasting.

10. The Complete Lawn Health Approach

Fertilization and weed control are just part of a full lawn health strategy. When paired with services like core aeration, pest management, and moisture control, you’ll enjoy a lawn that stays green, thick, and healthy all year long.

Anointed Lawn Care’s comprehensive service plans cover every step—from feeding and protection to soil improvement—so homeowners don’t have to guess what comes next.
