Seven applications across the season, timed to Connecticut soil temperatures rather than a national calendar. Fertilization, weed control and grub protection are all part of the program. Disease treatment and fall aeration run separately, on their own timing.
Five fertilizer treatments using slow-release nitrogen and professional-grade products, so color holds through summer heat instead of surging and fading.
See the fertilization programCrabgrass pre-emergent before soil reaches 55 degrees, then broadleaf and nutsedge treatment as weeds emerge. Included in every visit, not billed separately.
See our weed control approachBrown patch, dollar spot, red thread and summer patch identified and treated. Disease runs on its own cadence, so this is a separate preventive program rather than part of the seven applications.
See disease treatmentGrub control plus a second surface-insect application for chinch bugs and sod webworms. Part of the season, not sold as an add-on.

What we won't promise is that new weeds never appear. Connecticut lawns are surrounded by woods, wind and wildlife bringing in new weed seeds all season.
The same licensed crew that feeds your lawn handles tick control, tree and shrub care, and fall aeration. One account, one bill, one phone number that a person actually answers.
Washington Depot is the commercial heart of Washington, CT — a charming village surrounded by the rolling hills and river valleys of the Shepaug watershed. Properties here range from in-village lots close to the depot to hillside spreads with views across the Litchfield hills, and the varied terrain creates specific lawn care challenges at every elevation. Slopes lose nutrients to runoff, valley lots retain moisture and invite disease, and the compressed Litchfield County growing season leaves little margin for error. Pro Turf Lawn Care knows this landscape well.
Our Washington Depot lawn care program addresses the full range of conditions found on local properties: targeted fertilization based on slope and exposure, aeration and overseeding to restore thinning hillside turf and address compaction on flatter areas, weed control throughout the growing season, and fungicide where moisture retention creates disease pressure. The rural and forested character of the Washington area also makes tick control a sensible addition — Pro Turf offers seasonal protection programs for every property size.
Every town has its own pressure. Knowing what to expect is half of treating it correctly, and it's the difference between a program built for your property and one run off a national calendar.
Grub and surface insect control are part of the seven-application season, not billed as extras.
Still not sure? Call and ask. A licensed applicator will tell you honestly what your lawn needs.
Hillside properties face nutrient runoff and compaction, while valley properties near the depot retain moisture and are vulnerable to fungal disease. Both need specific treatment approaches.
Yes — Washington Depot's rural and forested character creates significant tick habitat. We offer 3-application seasonal programs for effective protection.
Late August through mid-September — earlier than coastal CT due to Litchfield County's earlier frost dates. Aeration paired with overseeding gives the best establishment results.
5 rounds per season timed to the Litchfield County growing calendar, with slightly compressed timing compared to coastal CT to account for the shorter season.
