Hi I’m Brad Wolfe with Organo-Lawn and today we’re going to learn about what’s included in the gold program. The gold program is an excellent organic lawn care program and it is for customers that started their program after April 15th or for larger properties. The gold program includes a total of four applications over the season. The first three applications are natural weed controls and fertilizers and the last application of the year is of fall winterizer. The gold program is a wonderful program that is chemical-free and it’s designed to kill weeds, fertilize the lawn and maintain the health of the soil.
Unlike the Ultimate Program, this program does not include the wonderful pre-emergent weed control called Synergy.
The gold program is a late-start program and therefore the first application starts in late April or early May. This time of year is the peak of the dandelion season and the first application of the gold program is a product called One Earth Weed Control, which is a 100% organic post-emergent weed killer. One earth weed control is an incredibly fast acting organic weed killer and fertilizer that will kill weeds in the lawn without damaging the grass. Within 72 hours after an application of One Earth Weed Control, weeds like dandelions, thistle, and wild lettuce will turn black and die.
The second and third applications of the gold program are also One Earth Weed Control applications and are designed to fertilize the lawn and kill summer annual weeds. The second application of the Gold Program typically occurs in June; and the third application happens in August.
The 4th and final application of the Gold Program is an organic winterizer. This is designed to prepare the lawn for the long winter months. We strongly recommend replacing the fall organic winterizer with a Fall Synergy application.
It’s especially important for customers that miss the April 15th cutoff date, we recommend this upgrade because Synergy is an amazing winterizer for the lawn and if it is applied in the fall and again in the spring it will prevent weed seeds from germinating the following year. The Gold Program is a top-tier lawn care program and it includes a total of four applications over the season. These applications are spaced out about every six to eight weeks.
The Gold Program is a major component for maintaining a beautiful lawn but there are a few additional services that we strongly recommend to get the most out of your lawn. Hands-down the most important upgrade is a professional sprinkler audit from Organo-Lawn.
Lawn watering can be very confusing for many homeowners. Over watering a lawn or under watering a lawn will prevent the lawn from looking its best. Organically treated lawns need to be watered differently than chemically treated lawns.
Our technicians are professionally trained on how to properly water a lawn using the 1,2,3,2,1 lawn watering technique. Core aeration is another important upgrade that is not included in the Gold Program but we strongly recommend adding a lawn aeration to alleviate soil compaction.
Most lawns in this area have clay soils and it is recommended that a lawn receive an aeration at least once per year and for lawns that have heavy foot traffic from kids or pets we recommend both spring and fall aeration. Humate soil conditioner is another wonderful organic product. We recommend it for customers that want to help break up clay soils and want the best looking lawn in the neighborhood.
The Gold Program is a wonderful lawn care program, but there are three aspects to achieving a beautiful lawn. Number one: proper lawn watering using the 1,2,3,2,1 lawn watering technique.
Number 2: proper lawn mowing which is mowing the lawn at 3 inches or taller and mowing the lawn once per week. We frequently find that many lawn mowing companies and homeowners mow their lawn too short. Number three: a proper lawn maintenance program like the Gold Program or Ultimate Program. The Gold Program ensures that the lawn is being fed properly. To learn more about the gold program or natural lawn care services please visit OrganoLawn.
