Golden Crown

West Metro Lawn & Snow offers an industry-leading turf health program. Our 7-step Fertilization & Weed Control Program supports your lawn’s health with micro-nutrients, while fighting off weeds and undesirable grasses.

During Fall, Round 7 of our program takes place - which is a combination of a total broadleaf weed control and a Rapid Green liquid fertilizer. The Rapid Green liquid fertilizer contains, amongst other things, a robust liquid nitrogen boost which immediately assists in strengthening roots and winterizing turf. The nitrogen helps to restore your lawn’s carbohydrates, ensuring it has adequate nutrients to last through the colder winter months.

When products with increased levels of nitrogen are sprayed, it can sometimes cause temporary yellow or brown tips “Golden Crown”. Rest assured, this does NOT occur because of over-application. Instead, your lawn is simply NOT used to products with increased levels of nitrogen!
​
When you next mow your lawn, you will cut off the tips and the turf will be lush and deep green due to the Nitrogen! To assist in recovery, we recommend continuing to follow healthy lawn care practices. This includes, but is not limited to, watering deeply but infrequently and mowing high. We encourage you to trust the process and know that the nitrogen boost in Round 7 will provide your lawn with the nutrients it needs to survive the upcoming Minnesota winter!
