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

✅ 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.
✅ 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.
✅ 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.
✅ 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.
✅ Certified technicians, recertified annually
Our team undergoes annual training and state certification updates to stay at the forefront of lawn care best practices.
✅ 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.
✅ 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.
✅ 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 best lawn results at a price that makes sense
With Rooted Basics™, you get industry-leading results without the inflated price tag. It’s professional-grade care, made accessible.

We don’t just show up, spray, and leave. We build healthy lawns from the soil up — even when you’re not watching. That’s the Groundhogs Lawn Care difference.

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: 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: Fertilizer promotes vigorous growth, creating a thicker and fuller lawn that fills in bare patches and discourages weed growth.
• Improved Color: 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: A healthy lawn with a robust root system is better equipped to fight off fungal diseases and insect infestations.
• Enhanced Curb Appeal: A lush, green lawn significantly enhances the visual appeal of your Queensbury property, increasing its value and creating a more inviting outdoor space.
