Standard TurfSmith Program
Our Standard TurfSmith Program is a 6-application program spread over the season, typically between late March and November.
It starts off with an early spring fertilizer with a pre-emergent to deter crabgrass from sprouting after the dormant winter. This is followed up in late spring with a weed control service to target spring broadleaf weeds like dandelions and clover.
Once summer hits, the second round of fertilization is spread along with additional weed control during the sunnier months where weeds thrive.
Finally, we’ll add early fall fertilization around late August and early September to maintain green turf throughout the fall. Around this same time, we’ll run another broadleaf application to rid any remaining weeds. As fall comes to an end, we apply one last fertilization to give the grass’ roots strength and reserve going into winter so they can come back as healthy as ever in the spring.
Enhanced TurfSmith Program
The key components to the Enhanced TurfSmith Program include all of the Standard
The Enhanced program is 7 applications. The additional visit actually takes place between the early spring fertilizer and the spring broadleaf control visits.

The 4th visit adds insect and grub control to prevent harmful insects and larvae like grubs from destroying
Healthy lawns can attract insects and grubs to feed on healthy and deep roots, which is why we recommend going with the Enhanced Program to keep grubs and insects away.

Early Spring Fertilizer
An early fertilizing application to give grass the boost it needs coming out of winter.
Spring Fertilizer
The spring fertilizer application is bundled with a crabgrass pre-emergent that really promotes growth during spring while keeping crabgrass away.
Spring Weed Control
Broadleaf weeds are extremely prevalent in Central, Ohio. This application snubs broadleaf growth in the peak of spring.
Summer Fertilization
Weeds thrive in the summer sun and the abundance of UV rays while grass can struggle in the heat. We’ll fertilize the grass and kill the weeds.
Insect & Grub Control
Applied with the summer fertilizer and weed control. This application deters harmful grubs and insects from destroying the soil and root systems.
Early Fall Fertilizer
The fall fertilizer gives
Fall Weed Control
We apply one final weed control round going into the fall to make sure there will be nothing around to go dormant in the winter.
Late Fall Fertilization
Much like a bear eats in excess before hibernation, grass needs extra nutrients before going dormant in order to come back in the spring healthy.
Other TurfSmith Services
Core Aeration
A strong fertilization plan is a great start but it won’t do much if root systems can’t grow deep and absorb the nutrients our programs are providing. This can happen if your soil is compacted. That’s why we recommend seasonal lawn aeration for your lawn. This process removes core samples from your lawn in order for the compacted soil to settle. We perform seasonal lawn aeration from Dublin to Delaware, Ohio.
Overseeding
Overseeding is the process of seeding over your lawn where grass could be thicker. Thin spots in your yard can wash out during heavy rains, become destroyed by light or heavy traffic, or be a great place for weeds to germinate and spread rapidly. A thick and healthy lawn is a lawn that keeps weeds away and thrives.
Turf Repair
Our turf repair services directly address areas of your lawn that may be damaged by excess water runoff or pooling as well as areas of high traffic and soil compaction. In these instances, a topdressing of the soil would be necessary to create a consistent and healthy base for new grass to take root after core aeration and
