BERMUDAGRASS

Here are some attributes about your Bermudagrass lawn. The regimen you will receive is also listed below. Bermudagrass is a warm season grass. Bermudagrass is very hearty in warm weather and does relatively well at surviving most winters here in the Triangle area. There are many different varieties of bermudagrass with varying textures and densities. Most golf courses in this area use one type of bermudagrass for the rough areas and finer, denser varieties for the fairway. Bermudagrass demands eight hours of full sunlight per day. It simply will not grow in shade. Bermudagrass will survive but it will not thrive during a drought. The biggest disadvantage that customers agree on about bermuda is that it crawls and tunnels across and under areas where it is not desired like flower beds. That disadvantage is beneficial when there is high traffic because it fills back in so quickly. Because it is so well suited to this area, it seldom requires fungicides to fight disease.

Here is the service regimen for your Bermudagrass lawn mowing and maintenance services are listed as well.

Bermudagrass Services

Fertilization: All the necessary products required for your lawn type are provided including Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium as well as necessary micronutrients included in your turf's required daily allowances. We use only top-quality turf-grade fertilizers based on the custom care plan developed just for you.

Broadleaf Weed Control: Seasonal weeds are treated with our broadleaf weed control for weeds like dandelions, henbit, clover, and many more. After they are under control, we team with you to keep them away. One phone call is all you need and we will treat recurring weeds at no additional charge.

Crabgrass Control and Annual Weed Prevention: Our pre-emergence protection is the best in the industry. The key is in using the absolute best pre-emergence product on the market. We apply two treatments as part of your lawn's care plan to ensure that crabgrass only shows up in the neighbor's yard.Optional Services

Dylox® Grub Control from Bayer®: Dylox® insecticide provides fast-acting control of turf-damaging grub worms, mole crickets, sod webworms, and cutworms. Your Safe-T-Chem lawn care professional is trained to recognize if they are damaging your turf and put them on the path away from your lawn.

Disease Control: The best practice with regard to turf diseases is to develop a fertilization plan that prevents diseases development. But fungi, heat, and humidity combined are a bad combination for causing devastating diseases to turfgrasses in the Triangle Area. We provide curative fungicides for newly discovered diseases and preventive fungicides for lawns that are likely to host recurrences of diseases like brown patch, summer patch, rust disease, pythium blight, gray leaf spot, dollar spot, and many others. In most cases a typical lawn has more than one type of disease. Some diseases spread very quickly and can devastate a lawn. Most lawn diseases here in the Wake and Johnston County area develop immunities to fungicides within a matter of days. So it is important to you that we develop a rotation plan that utilizes more than one formulation. Disease control is very complicated. Why not let the experts at Safe-T-Chem help get your lawn well again?

Fire Ant Control: Fire ants spread very quickly, are very aggressive and should be considered as a threat to your home, family, and pets. TopChoice® Fire Ant Control from Bayer® provides one full year of curative and preventive protection against fire ants and is the absolute best method of shielding your home, children, pets, and visitors from fire ants.

Insect Control: We have the skills necessary to positively identify insects and eliminate them with the best insecticide for the situation. From Japanese beetles to bagworms to fleas and ticks, we can protect your family.
