How much does lawn fertilizing cost in Lincoln, NE?

Yardworx fertilizing and weed control starts at $79 per application for lawns up to 4,000 square feet. Larger lawns are quoted individually after a free estimate.

How many applications are in the program?

Six, from March/April through October/November. PlusWorx and TheWorx also include spring and fall broadleaf weed sprays, which CoreWorx customers can add. A fungicide treatment can be added to any program.

What's the difference between CoreWorx, PlusWorx and TheWorx?

CoreWorx is our 6-step fertilizing program. PlusWorx adds spring and fall broadleaf weed sprays and discounted aeration. TheWorx adds bed weed maintenance, perimeter pest control and mosquito control.

How is your program different from a quick green-up?

Fast-release fertilizers turn a lawn green quickly, but the effect fades in a few weeks and pushes top growth over root growth. We use slow-release blends and soil-building rounds that grow deeper roots, so the lawn stays healthier longer and needs less water over time.

What are biosolids, and why do you use them?

Biosolids are a recycled organic material used in fertilizer. Our rounds 4, 5 and 6 use biosolid-based blends because, along with slow-release nutrients, they add organic matter to the soil. That improves soil structure, helps the soil hold moisture and supports deeper roots, which is the whole idea behind Deep Roots, Lasting Results.

Will deeper roots really mean less watering?

Yes, over time. Deeper roots reach moisture further down in the soil, so a deep-rooted lawn can go longer between waterings and handles summer heat better than a shallow-rooted one.

When should crabgrass preventer go down in Lincoln, NE?

Usually late March to mid-April, before the soil warms to about 55°F and crabgrass starts to sprout. That's why our first round goes down in March/April, with a second round in May/June to keep the barrier in place into summer.

What's the best time of year to fertilize a lawn in Nebraska?

Every season matters, but fall is the most important for cool-season lawns like Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue. Fall feedings build roots and store energy for winter, which is why our program includes September and October/November rounds.

Do you control crabgrass and grubs?

Yes. Rounds 1 and 2 include a split crabgrass pre-emergent, and round 3 includes preventive grub control.

What if weeds come back between treatments?

Let us know and we'll come back and re-spray at no charge.

Is it safe for my kids and pets?

Keep kids and pets off the lawn until the application dries, usually 1 to 2 hours. We leave a flag or door tag after every visit.

Will I know when you're coming and what you're applying?

Yes. We text and email you 24 hours before every application, with a short video explaining what we're putting down, what it does and any aftercare, like watering or keeping pets off the lawn until it dries.

Do I need to water after an application?

Yes. Water within 24 hours so the product moves into the soil.

Do I have to sign a contract or prepay?

No. There are no contracts, you pay after each application, and you can cancel anytime.

What happens if I cancel part of my PlusWorx or TheWorx package?

The bundle discount only applies when you keep every service in the package for the season. If you cancel one, such as aeration, the services you've already received that season are re-priced at our standard rate, and the difference is billed to your account.

We feed the soil, not just the grass. Our slow-release blends feed the lawn steadily over weeks instead of all at once. Rounds 4, 5 and 6 use biosolid-based fertilizers, which add organic matter to the soil and feed the soil life that builds better structure. Our summer rounds also add iron and sulfur to help grass take up nutrients in Lincoln's heavy clay soils.
Better soil structure means deeper roots. Healthy, loose soil lets roots push down instead of spreading out shallow near the surface. Core aeration, included in PlusWorx and TheWorx, opens up compacted clay so water, air and nutrients reach the root zone.
Deeper roots need less water. The deeper the roots, the more moisture they can reach. Over time, that means less watering and a lawn that holds up through July and August heat.
Results that build year after year. A deep-rooted lawn is thicker, crowds out weeds on its own and recovers faster from heat, drought and foot traffic. Each season builds on the last.
