Waltz Landscaping | Certified Landscaping Services in Brewster, NY

In our area, we frequently see issues like red thread and dollar spot fungus, which thrive in the Hudson Valley's humidity. We start with a precise diagnosis, then apply targeted, professional-grade fungicides. More importantly, we advise on cultural practices like proper mowing height and aeration to improve air circulation and prevent recurrence, giving your lawn long-term health.

We use a multi-step approach. First, we identify the specific weeds (like crabgrass or ground ivy) and their growth stage. Then, we apply selective pre-emergent and post-emergent treatments that are effective yet safe for your desired grass. We also focus on building a thick, healthy turf through proper fertilization and overseeding, which is the best natural defense against future weed invasions.

The key is proactive, seasonal care. For fungus, early spring aeration and fall cleanup are critical. For weeds, a pre-emergent application in early spring before seeds germinate is most effective. We recommend a consultation in late winter or early spring to develop a tailored annual plan. This timing allows us to get ahead of problems before they become visible and harder to manage.
