Whats Changed for 2026
🌱 New for Your Lawn in 2026: More science. Smarter products. Stronger guarantees. Same 2024 pricing.
In 2026, we’re doubling down on a science-first approach, upgrading products, and fine-tuning our programs—without raising prices from 2024 levels. Here’s what’s changing, and how it helps your lawn and family win.
🧪 Science-First Lawn Care (Not Guesswork)
We don’t “wing it” with your lawn. Every decision is rooted in real soil data, weather patterns, and proven agronomy—not whatever is easiest to apply that day.
“WOULD YOU TRUST A DOCTOR WHO PRESCRIBED MEDS, BUT NEVER RAN LAB WORK?”
We feel the same way about your lawn.
🧬 Soil tests for all new customers so we know exactly what your lawn is missing.
📊 Testing-driven recommendations so we fix real deficiencies, not just symptoms.
🌡️ Temperature-smart fertilizers that release nutrients when soil conditions are right.
🌿 Bio and micro nutrients all season to build deeper roots and stronger turf.
When we find deficiencies in your soil, we’ll recommend real corrections.
Your commitment to follow through is a huge part of long-term success.

🌿 Fertilizer & Soil Health Upgrades
In 2025, we tested a new line of organic-based fertilizers on select properties. The results were strong—especially in the fall. For 2026 we’re bringing them in.
We are now:
🧪 Combining organic-based fertilizers with our golf-course grade fertilizers that perform in summer heat.
🌱 Using organics to add carbon and organic matter back into the soil.
☀️ Targeting stronger color retention and better drought and stress tolerance.
We’ve also improved what’s in the bag:
🔬 Strong focus on bio and micro nutrients.
🟢 More naturally occurring iron for deeper, longer-lasting greening without staining.
🌾 Increased available nitrogen for healthier growth, not just a quick surge of color.
🌾 Weed & Crabgrass Control Upgrades
Stronger, smarter weed control for 2026:
🌼 Extra application of broadleaf weed control for better season-long cleanup.
🌱 Stronger crabgrass preventative with a booster in Round 2 to reduce breakthrough.
🟡 New nutsedge product that, over time, reduces nutsedge populations by killing the plant all the way back to the nutlet, not just burning off the top.
Fewer weeds surviving. Fewer weeds returning.
🚜 Application Experience & Data Collection Enhancements
We’ve improved how we apply—not just what we apply.
🍂 Granular Round 6 for better performance when leaves are on the ground.
⏱️ More time on your property so applications are thorough and intentional.
📋 Enhanced data collection—notes on thin areas, disease pressure, watering issues, and more so your plan keeps improving every year.
This isn’t “in and out as fast as possible.” It’s thoughtful, measured, and data-driven.
🧾 Soil Tests & Your Commitment
For all new customers, soil testing is required.
If you did not have a soil test in 2025, your plan may require one this year.
Soil tests help us identify:
⚖️ pH problems that block nutrient uptake.
🧱 Key nutrient deficiencies (like potassium).
🌎 Soil structure and organic matter issues that affect root depth.
When results show problems, we’ll recommend the corrections your lawn truly needs.
Why your commitment matters:
If corrections are ignored, your lawn will always be fighting uphill.
When you partner with us and follow through, everything we apply works better: fewer weeds, deeper roots, thicker turf, and faster recovery from stress.
