The primary annual program
The 7-Step Lawn Program pairs fertilization with pre- and post-emergent weed control across seven annual visits. Insect and fungus treatment, aeration, and soil services remain separate add-ons.
The full breakdown
Your lawn's first line of defense. Applied in early spring, this treatment creates a protective barrier in the soil that stops weed seeds before they ever get the chance to germinate — setting the stage for a clean, weed-free season ahead. Your payoff: A cleaner start to the growing season.
For the weeds that slip through, we follow up with a targeted spring treatment that knocks out summer weeds already taking root — keeping your lawn looking sharp as the growing season ramps up. Your payoff: Weed control that follows prevention.
A complete, balanced, slow-release feeding applied in early summer to fuel deep root growth and rich, consistent color — nourishment your lawn can draw on for weeks, not days. Your payoff: Steady nutrition for active turf growth.
Mid-summer brings tough invaders like crabgrass, sedges, and kyllinga. This application takes them head-on, with spot treatment for broadleaf weeds, so your turf stays thick, green, and uncrowded through the heat of the season. Your payoff: Turf that stays thick, green, and uncrowded through the heat.
A second balanced feeding in late summer keeps your lawn's energy reserves strong, helping it hold its color and resilience as it heads into fall. Your payoff: Color and resilience through the seasonal transition.
Just as effective as its spring counterpart, this application shuts the door on winter weed germination before it starts — protecting your investment through the cooler months ahead. Your payoff: Protection through the cooler months.
A precise post-emergent treatment that targets Poa annua and any broadleaf weeds that manage to germinate, keeping your lawn clean and healthy all winter long. Your payoff: A cleaner, healthier lawn through winter.
The GLS Turf Commitment
Every treatment is applied by trained technicians using the right product, at the right rate, at the right time in the season — no shortcuts.
If you have a question, a concern, or notice something that doesn't look right, we'll respond promptly and show up to assess it.
If we ever miss an application, apply something incorrectly, or fall short of our own standards, we'll return to correct it at no additional cost.
We'll tell you plainly what our program can and can't do, and we'll flag issues outside our program's scope (like irrigation problems or mowing height) as soon as we spot them, so you can address them.
Turf health is a partnership. Results depend on factors outside our applications — proper mowing height and frequency, adequate watering, soil conditions, and weather. Because of that, we don't guarantee specific outcomes like "zero weeds" or "green by June." What we do guarantee is that our program is applied correctly, consistently, and backed by a team that's responsive when you need us.
Inside the program
Pre-emergent, targeted weed control, and fertilization each have a distinct role within the same 7-Step Lawn Program.
In the 7-Step ProgramPreventive treatment before weeds emerge
Pre-emergent goes down twice a year, spring and fall, before each season's weeds germinate. Both applications are part of the 7-Step Program.

The weeds you can already see get treated directly, as part of the 7-Step Program rather than an add-on.

In the 7-Step ProgramSeasonal nutrition for warm-season turf
The 7-Step Lawn Program includes fertilization timed for warm-season turf and its active growing months.
See detailsSeparately quoted add-ons
Disease and fungus control, insect and grub control, core aeration, and soil analysis or amendments are evaluated and quoted separately from the annual program.
Diagnosis before treatment
GLS Turf evaluates suspected disease or fungus before quoting an add-on treatment.

Evidence before insect treatment
GLS Turf checks for signs of insect activity before quoting an add-on treatment.

Relief for compacted soil
Core aeration removes soil plugs and opens compacted ground so air and water can move into the root zone.

Soil data before amendments
A soil analysis can show whether lime or another amendment belongs in the turf plan.
