June
- Personal Turf Inspection

- Chelated Iron
- Micronutrients
July
- Because of the extended hot and dry weather, we did not treat any fescue lawns in July this year.
August
No Treatments
- Treatments made to fescue in August will only damage your lawn, therefore we do not treat lawns in August.
September
Optional but Highly Recommended
- Core Aerate
- Overseed with John Deere / Lesco Supreme Transition Zone Turf Type Tall Fescue blend in sunny areas.
- Overseed with John Deere / Lesco Supreme Shady Fescue blend – Creeping Red Fescue, Chewings Fescue, Hard Fescue, and Kentucky Bluegrass – in shady areas.
- Apply 18-24-12 Starter Fertilizer
- Treat for Weeds
October
Crash
- Unfortunately this October Jon was rear-ended by a distracted driver who hit him at 50 mph without even touching the brakes. The company truck was totaled.
- Jon’s doctor diagnosed bleeding on the brain and a broken neck; luckily, however, a CT scan was negative for that diagnosis. There is ongoing aggravation of arthritis of the neck and a “massive” back sprain, as well as an unshakable headache.
- For these reasons we did not treat any of our Fescue lawns this month. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and we will be back on our regular schedule in November.
- Thank you for your business.
november
winterizing
- Personal Inspection of Turf
- Granular Winterizer
- Post-Emergent Weed Control
- This round we are winterizing your lawn – we are giving your turf plants the fertilizer they need to store up nutrients in their roots. These stored nutrients are the key to their survival over the winter, and are also key to their quick and strong green-up next spring.
December
Lime
- This is a great time of year to apply lime, because it typically takes a few months for the lime to work itself into the root zone. The winter freeze-thaw cycle helps this process.
2017 Pricing
Each monthly treatment is billed at $45 for the first 3000 square feet of actual turf and $10 for each additional 1000 square feet of turf.
Optional Additional Services are billed on a lawn by lawn basis. We usually run a Fall Sale for Aeration and Overseeding services.
We use GIS or personal inspection to measure your lawn. Simply send an email and we can have a quote to you the same day. If necessary we will come out and give you our professional recommendations at your convenience.
Our Fescue Routes are All Booked Up for 2018
We specialize in warm season turf, and are phasing out fescue lawn management
If you would like to be put on the fescue waiting list, we will contact you if any openings become available over the winter. Email jon@carolinaorganiclawns.com subject line: Waiting List for consideration.
We would love to have you as one of the few. Thank you!
– Jon & Daniel Cawley
