Summer Maintenance
Fertilizer timed for Southcentral Alaska, plus weed control from $85.
About This Service
Mowing keeps the height. Feeding and weed control keep the color. A basic program is two feedings, late spring and late summer. For a thicker lawn we follow the University of Alaska Fairbanks Extension schedule for Southcentral Alaska: late May, late June, late July, and an early-September winterizer. Skip heavy nitrogen after September 15. Fertilizer starts at $85. Midsummer feed is $55 a bag. Weed control starts at $85.
