Lawn Fertilization and Weed Control

Are you looking for dependable lawn fertilization and weed control for a residential, mult-family, or commercial property? If so, you can rely on Hietala Lawn Maintenance. Located in Strongville, we have been a leading provider of lawn fertilization and weed control services in Northeast Ohio since 1991, helping properties achieve healthier, more resilient turf through carefully planned treatments.

Benefits of Lawn Fertilization

A well-maintained lawn starts with proper nutrition. Routine lawn fertilization strengthens grass from the roots up, encouraging thicker growth and a richer green color throughout the season. Healthier turf is naturally better at resisting weeds, environmental stress, and seasonal challenges. When combined with targeted lawn weed control, fertilization creates an environment where unwanted growth struggles to take hold. Our approach uses season-specific applications to support steady improvement over time, ensuring your lawn develops lasting strength rather than quick, temporary gains. The result is a balanced lawn that looks fuller, healthier, and easier to maintain.

Lawn Fertilization Packages

Hietala Lawn Maintenance has a solution for any type of lawn. Our lawn fertilization packages include:

Basic Package

Our basic package consists of six applications to keep your lawn looking its best.

1. Our first treatment of the year is Crab Grass Prevention Fertilizer. We use dry granular fertilizer, which consists of pre-emergent crab grass control that prevents the germination of crabgrass seed before it can break through the soil.
2. For our second treatment of the year, we apply slow-release dry granular fertilizer along with a liquid weed control blanket sprayed across the entire lawn. Along with this, our technicians will monitor your lawn and check for diseases and surface insects that may be active.
3. Our third treatment consists of slow-release dry granular fertilizer along with spot treatment for weeds, nutsedge, and crabgrass. Our technicians will check your lawn for surface insects and diseases present at the time of treatment.
4. Our fourth treatment consists of slow-release dry granular fertilizer along with spot treatment for weeds, nutsedge, and crabgrass. Our technicians will check your lawn for surface insects and diseases present at the time of treatment.
5. For our fifth treatment, we apply slow-release granular fertilizer and do another full spray application of liquid weed control to the entire lawn. This time of year, our technicians are checking your lawn for grubs, soil compaction, thatch levels, potential diseases, and surface insects.
6. For our last treatment of the season, we apply the “winterizer” fertilizer to promote root growth and enhanced color through late fall into winter.

Deluxe Package

This program includes our Basic Fertilizer Program PLUS our Grub Prevention. With your second treatment, our technicians will treat your lawn with Grub Prevention Dry Granular Fertilizer. This stays active in your soil, so when grubs become active, they will die before they can damage the roots of your lawn. This is your lawn’s insurance policy against grubs. With this program if you get grub prevention with your second application, and your lawn still develops a grub issue, we will apply a grub curative at no cost. We’ve got you covered!

Premium Package

With our Premium Package, you get everything included in the BASIC + GRUB PREVENTION program PLUS a Fall Core Aeration every year. With our aeration, we pull plugs out of the ground to reduce soil compaction, help fill in bare spots, and allow your lawn’s roots to expand and grow deeper into the soil.
