What is included in turf management

A good turf program is more than just fertilizer. We look at how your lawn is used, the existing soil and turf conditions, and then recommend a plan that fits how you live at the property.

  • Seasonal fertilizer applications based on soil and turf needs
  • Weed control focused on problem areas and high-visibility spots
  • Recommendations for mowing height, watering, and cultural practices
  • Optional services like aeration and overseeding when they will actually help

How we build your turf program

Every property is a little different. We walk the lawn with you, talk through problem areas, and then outline a simple plan so you know what to expect across the season.

  • On-site review of current turf health and problem spots
  • Discussion of your expectations for appearance and maintenance
  • Clear outline of visits, timing, and what each application does
  • Ongoing adjustments when weather or site conditions change

Our process

How our turf management and fertilization process works

From first conversation through completion, here is what to expect when you work with Keller.

  1. 1

    Initial conversation and goals

    We start with a call to understand how you use the property, what you like or dislike about the current lawn, and any specific concerns such as weeds, thin areas, or pet damage.

  2. 2

    On-site lawn inspection

    On our first visit we walk the lawn, looking at turf density, thatch, soil conditions, sun and shade patterns, and existing weeds. This gives us a clear picture of what the lawn needs and what is already working.

  3. 3

    Custom program and schedule

    Based on the inspection, we outline a practical turf program with the right combination of fertilizer, weed control, and optional treatments. You see what we recommend, how often we will visit, and what each visit is meant to do.

  4. 4

    Seasonal applications and adjustments

    Across the growing season we complete the agreed-upon applications, adjusting timing and materials for weather and site conditions so treatments stay effective and avoid unnecessary products.

  5. 5

    Ongoing monitoring and follow-up

    We watch how the turf responds, note any new issues, and share simple recommendations for mowing, watering, and cultural practices. When add-ons like aeration or overseeding will genuinely help, we explain why and when to consider them.
