If you’re searching for professional weed control and lawn fertilization in Mountain Home, Gassville, Cotter, Norfork, Yellville, Flippin, Henderson, Gamaliel, Lakeview, Clarkridge, or Bull Shoals, Lawns Plus Services offers a proven Full Turf Management Program designed specifically for local lawns and growing conditions.
Our program delivers consistent results through strategic weed control, seasonal fertilization, and professional spot treatments — all without the guesswork of DIY lawn care.
A Complete Turf Management Program Designed for Local Lawns
Our Full Turf Management Program includes:
✔ 3 weed control applications
✔ 3 fertilizer applications during the growing season
✔ Spot spraying for weeds included with every fertilizer visit
Each application is timed based on local climate, soil conditions, and weed cycles, ensuring your lawn receives exactly what it needs — when it needs it.
Early Season Weed Control
Mid-February to Early March
This first application lays the foundation for the entire season.
Application Includes:
- Broadleaf weed control
- Pre-emergent weed control
Benefits:
- Controls actively growing weeds early
- Prevents many annual weeds from germinating
- Reduces weed pressure before spring green-up
Early pre-emergent applications are critical in our region and significantly reduce the need for aggressive weed control later in the year.
First Fertilizer Application
Mid-April
As lawns begin active growth, proper nutrition becomes essential.
Application Includes:
- Seasonal fertilizer
- Spot spraying for any weeds that have emerged
Results:
- Greener color
- Thicker turf
- Stronger grass that naturally crowds out weeds
Spot spraying allows us to treat problem areas without over-applying products across the entire lawn.
Second Weed Control Application
Mid-May
Warmer temperatures bring tougher weeds, especially perennials.
Application Targets:
- Broadleaf weeds
- Perennial weeds
- Grassy weeds through spot treatments
Perennial weeds often require multiple treatments. This application focuses on weakening weeds at the root system for long-term control.
Second Fertilizer Application
Mid-June
This application supports the lawn during peak summer growth.
Benefits:
- Maintains steady growth
- Improves tolerance to heat stress
- Strengthens turf heading into summer
Healthy, well-fed turf is more resilient during hot and dry conditions common in our area.
Third Fertilizer Application
Mid-August to Mid-September (Weather Dependent)
This application is scheduled carefully based on rainfall and temperature.
Why Timing Matters:
- Dry soil reduces fertilizer effectiveness
- Temperatures above 90°F can stress turf
- Applying fertilizer during extreme heat can cause damage
We adjust timing when needed to protect your lawn and maximize results.
Fall Weed Control Application
Mid-September
Fall is one of the most effective times of year for weed control.
Application Includes:
- Broadleaf weed control
- Pre-emergent for cool-season annual weeds
- Spot treatments for grassy weeds
Common Weeds Targeted:
- Henbit
- Deadnettle
- Poa annua (annual bluegrass)
Fall weed control prevents weeds from establishing over winter and reduces heavy infestations the following spring.
Spot Spraying Is Always Included
Every fertilizer application includes spot spraying, allowing us to:
- Treat weeds only where needed
- Reduce chemical usage
- Adjust treatments based on lawn conditions
This customized approach delivers better results with less impact.
DIY Lawn Care vs Professional Lawn Care
Many homeowners start with DIY lawn care — until they see the true cost, time, and risk involved.
DIY Lawn Care Requires:
Equipment Purchases

- Backpack or handheld sprayer
- Measuring and mixing containers
- Dedicated storage for chemicals
Products
- Pre-emergent herbicides
- Post-emergent weed control products
- Multiple Bags of Fertilizer
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- Chemical-resistant gloves
- Long-sleeve shirts and long pants
- Closed-toe shoes or chemical-resistant boots
- Eye protection
- Respirator or mask (recommended for mixing and spraying)
Other Considerations
- Proper product selection and timing
- Risk of over-application or lawn damage
- Safety risks to children, pets, and landscaping
- Time spent researching, applying, and reapplying
