Fertilizing & Weed Control

One of the most important factors in a healthy lawn is proper fertilization. Over fertilizing or under fertilizing can weaken the turf and allow for more weeds to grow.  Clean cut professionals provide the proper amount of fertilizer at the proper time to maximize results.

All of our applicators are licensed by the State of Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and are properly trained in horticultural practices to ensure that each application is safe and effective. We practice (IPM) Integrated Pest Managment to reduce the use of chemicals.

Understanding the need for individual attention allows Clean Cut to provide its customers with lawns that are thicker, greener and healthier than the competitions lawns.

We use stablilized nitrogen fertilizer for superior results.  Our products top the competition because they work and keep on working from one application to the next making your lawn thick and giving it a beautiful green color.

If your lawn looks like this, then you need to give us a call.

Our program will give you a weed free lawn.

Weed Free Lawn

Clean Cut offers three, four and five application programs that are custom designed to provide maximum results for our customers.  Our broadleaf weed control applications are liquid for a more accurate control.  All of our fertilizing programs consist of granular stabilized nitrogen fertilizer for optimal results.  Using granular fertilizer allows us to custom tailor your program to fit the specific needs of your lawn.  Our competition on the other hand uses one basic liquid formula for every lawn.  This is why you see the same low quality results every time.

Our company will sell you a quality lawn application which will provide outstanding color, increased turf density and increased root development not just a fertilizing application like our competition.

SOIL SAMPLES

Soil Test

We offer free soil sample tests to all of our full service maintenance customers.  Soil samples will determine the PH of your soil and also inform us of any nutrient defenciencies present.  Program adjustments will be made based on the results of the samples.  Sometimes it is necessary to ammend the soil with a lime or gypsum application based on the PH level in your lawn.
