Lawn Fertilization Services in Queensbury, NY
Looking for a lush, healthy lawn without overpaying for gimmicks or watered-down treatments? That’s exactly why we created the Rooted Basics™ Plan — a strategic six-step fertilization program that delivers real, lasting results for homeowners throughout Queensbury and the Capital Region of New York, including Albany, NY and all surrounding towns.
While many companies rely on low-cost products and generic treatments, at Groundhogs Lawn Care, we’re committed to doing things the right way. Our team stays sharp with ongoing training, research, and real-time adjustments based on local soil conditions, seasonal trends, and emerging turf science. We don’t just follow industry standards — we raise them.
Why Groundhogs Rooted Basics™ Lawn Fertilization Treatment Outshines the Competition
âś… Fall application that prevents spring crabgrass
Most companies skip this critical step. We apply an extended pre-emergent in the fall to stop next year’s crabgrass before it ever gets started.
âś… Micronutrient-infused summer feedings
Our mid-season treatments include essential micronutrients like iron, manganese, and magnesium — promoting vibrant color, deep roots, and improved nutrient absorption when your lawn needs it most.
âś… Proactive disease prevention during peak summer pressure
We don’t wait for damage to show up. We apply preventative treatments during high-risk months to protect your lawn from brown patch, dollar spot, and other common turf diseases.
✅ Weed control always included — no extra charges
Broadleaf and grassy weed control is built into your program. No surprise fees. No confusing add-ons. Just consistent, thorough protection.
âś… Only premium, professional-grade products
We don’t water things down — literally or figuratively. Every product we use is hand-selected for performance, safety, and sustainability.
âś… Certified technicians, recertified annually
Our team undergoes annual training and state certification updates to stay at the forefront of lawn care best practices.
âś… Constant plan optimization
We don’t set it and forget it. We’re always evaluating soil feedback, lawn health, and weather patterns to ensure your lawn gets exactly what it needs.
âś… Transparent visit reports every time
You’ll know what we applied, why it was applied, and what to expect next — clear communication, every step of the way.
âś… A team that actually cares
We’re homeowners too, and we take pride in every lawn we care for. We treat your property like it’s our own — with integrity, respect, and no shortcuts.

The Benefits of Regular Applications of Lawn Fertilizer
Fertilization provides your lawn with a range of vital nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. These nutrients play a critical role in various functions that allow your lawn to be healthy and lush:
- Stronger Roots:Â Proper fertilization encourages the development of a strong and healthy root system. When the roots are healthy, they allow your lawn to absorb essential nutrients and water more efficiently. This translates to better drought tolerance and improved resistance to disease.
- Enhanced Growth:Â Fertilizer promotes vigorous growth, creating a thicker and fuller lawn that fills in bare patches and discourages weed growth.
- Improved Color:Â A well-fertilized lawn boasts a vibrant and healthy green hue. How is this possible? Well, the fertilizer makes the grass more resistant to discoloration caused by nutrient deficiencies and environmental stress.
- Increased Disease Resistance:Â A healthy lawn with a robust root system is better equipped to fight off fungal diseases and insect infestations.
- Enhanced Curb Appeal:Â A lush, green lawn significantly enhances the visual appeal of your Queensbury property, increasing its value and creating a more inviting outdoor space.
Are you interested in enjoying the benefits of fertilization but don’t want to bother with the equipment and products needed to do so? We totally get it! Leave the hard work to our experts, who are passionate about caring for lawns. Simply request a lawn fertilizer service online or by phone, and we’ll be at your doorstep right away.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — our program includes post-emergent crabgrass control when needed. However, the best defense is our temperature-timed pre-emergent applications applied early and again in fall.
Most clients notice visible improvements within 2–4 weeks of the first treatment. Healthier soil and deep root development continue to improve over time with consistent service.
The best time to fertilize your lawn in Queensbury is typically in early spring and late fall. Early spring fertilization helps to jump-start grass growth after the winter, while late fall fertilization helps to prepare the lawn for the cold months ahead.
Aeration is crucial for maintaining a healthy lawn in Queensbury. It helps to alleviate soil compaction, improve air circulation, enhance water and nutrient absorption, and promote deeper root growth, resulting in a more resilient and lush lawn.
Yes! All products we use are kid- and pet-friendly when applied according to label guidelines. We take extra precautions during and after application and always communicate when it’s safe to re-enter your lawn.
It depends on the type of treatment. You do not have to water any in, but it can help with some and hurt with others. Weed control treatments should not be watered immediately and none of our fertilizers require it. There are a few products like our grub preventative that should be watered in soon after but we apply that in April and the rain assists. We’ll email detailed post-treatment instructions after each visit.
We treat a wide range of common lawn weeds in New York including dandelions, clover, plantain, crabgrass, nutsedge, and more. Our program includes both broadleaf and grassy weed control — with no extra charges.
Yes — aeration is included in every package from Vital Roots to The Showstopper. The only package that does not include aeration is our Rooted Basics plan. Aeration is a valuable service that improves soil health, boosts nutrient absorption, enhances root growth, and helps your lawn breathe. If you’re on the Rooted Basics plan, it can still be added as a one-time or recurring upgrade for even better results.
Yes! Season-long flea and tick control is included in all non-organic packages FREE! We also offer all-natural options like Skeeter Deleter for mosquitoes and Puppy Protector for flea and tick control — Extremely safe for kids, pets, and the environment.
We make it easy. After a quick property review or phone consultation, we’ll recommend the package that best fits your lawn’s needs, your goals, and your budget. Every lawn is different — and so is every plan.
We offer free service calls between scheduled treatments. If you ever notice something unusual, we’ll return promptly to inspect and resolve the issue — no extra charge.
Absolutely. We can help diagnose the cause of thinning and recommend solutions like overseeding, aeration, or soil amendments to restore thick, healthy turf.
While our main program uses hybrid professional-grade products for the best results, we do incorporate organic bio-stimulants and soil enhancers into our treatments. Fully organic programs are available upon request.
Yes! We proudly serve homeowners across the Capital Region of New York, including Albany, Glens Falls, Saratoga Springs, Lake George, Clifton Park and surrounding communities.
Most visits take 15–30 minutes depending on the size of your lawn. What matters most is quality — not speed — and our techs take the time to apply treatments properly and inspect your lawn each visit. Our machines are calibrated to spread/spray treatments at a very specific rate at 5mph. On small lawns it may look like they are going fast but on big lawns it looks very slow.
Most of our products are rainfast within 30–60 minutes. If heavy rain occurred shortly after an application, we’ll reapply if necessary — free of charge.
We’ll remind you when it’s time to renew and make it easy to continue service year to year. No auto-renewal surprises — just clear communication and great service.
Fall is when your lawn prepares for winter and stores energy for spring. Our fall treatments build deep roots, suppress next season’s weeds, and set the stage for a greener, healthier lawn in the months ahead.
Fertilization is one key part of lawn care, but full lawn care includes weed control, pest control, disease prevention, and soil health management. Our programs combine all these elements for complete lawn health — not just color.
Soil pH affects how well your lawn absorbs nutrients. If it’s too acidic or too alkaline, your grass won’t thrive — no matter how much you fertilize. We can test your soil and apply treatments to balance the pH if needed.
Yes! We often help new clients transition from another provider. We’ll assess where your lawn stands and customize a program to pick up right where it needs support.
Yes — we prioritize low-impact, high-efficiency products that are safe for the environment, your family, and your pets. We also offer organic options for clients seeking fully natural solutions.
We base our treatments on local weather patterns, soil condition, grass type, and pressure from weeds, pests, and disease. Every lawn is evaluated throughout the season so it gets exactly what it needs.
We recommend mowing 1–2 days before a visit and waiting 24 hours after treatment to mow again. Mowing too soon can reduce the effectiveness of weed control products.
Nope! As long as your gates are unlocked and pets are secured, we can complete your treatment and leave a detailed service report in your email!
Yes — and we don’t just treat for them, we guarantee it. Our grub control program is designed to prevent damage from root-feeding beetle larvae before they can destroy your lawn. With proper timing and application, we stand behind our treatment 100%. If grubs show up after we’ve treated, we’ll retreat at no cost to you.
We use targeted applications and take special care to avoid overspray near gardens, flower beds, and ornamental landscaping. Just let us know your concerns and we’ll adjust accordingly.
We stand by our work. If you’re not seeing progress, let us know — we’ll perform a free service call and make things right. Your satisfaction is our top priority.
