Lawn Weed Control & Fertilizing In Morris, Sussex and Warren Counties, NJ

Keeping your lawn green, thick, and healthy in Columbia, New Jersey and nearby towns takes more than occasional mowing or watering. Without proper care, weeds can quickly take over—competing with your grass for nutrients and sunlight, leaving your lawn thin, patchy, and stressed.

At JB’s Landscaping, we offer a comprehensive 7-step lawn care program that combines targeted weed control with proactive fertilization to give your lawn exactly what it needs at the right time of year.

Why Fertilization and Weed Control Work Best Together

Weeds don’t just look bad—they rob your grass of the nutrients and space it needs to thrive. But simply killing weeds isn't enough. A strong, nutrient-rich lawn naturally chokes out weed growth and recovers faster from stress.

That’s why our program focuses on building up your lawn’s strength through fertilization while using proven products to control the weeds that invade throughout the growing season.

Weeds Common in New Jersey Lawns:

Broadleaf Weeds – Dandelions, white clover, chickweed, ground ivy, wild violet, plantain, spurge, thistle.
Grassy Weeds – Crabgrass, goosegrass, annual bluegrass.
Sedges – Yellow nutsedge, purple nutsedge.

Each type of weed requires a targeted treatment approach to be effectively eliminated.

Our Proven Weed Control & Fertilizing Program

At JB's Landscaping, we take a proactive and targeted approach to weed control, combining pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides to eliminate weeds at every stage of their growth cycle.

Our program is designed to not only remove weeds but also promote a healthier, thicker lawn that naturally resists future weed invasions.

Step 1: Pre-Emergent Weed Control (Prevents Weeds from Growing)

Pre-emergent herbicides act as a barrier, stopping weed seeds from germinating before they even take root. These treatments are essential for preventing aggressive weeds like crabgrass and annual bluegrass, which can quickly overtake your lawn if left unchecked.

    • Creates a protective layer in the soil that prevents weed seed development
    • Applied twice in the spring and once in the fall
    • Works best when combined with proper fertilization and thick, healthy turf

Step 2: Post-Emergent Weed Control (Kills Existing Weeds)

Post-emergent herbicides target weeds that have already sprouted and started competing with your grass for nutrients and water. These treatments are applied strategically throughout the growing season for maximum effectiveness.

    • Targets broadleaf weeds (dandelions, clover, plantain) and grassy weeds (crabgrass, goosegrass)
    • Requires multiple applications for full eradication
    • Works best when combined with a comprehensive lawn care program

A Smarter, Proven Approach to Weed Control and Lawn Health

At JB’s Landscaping, we believe the key to a lush, weed-free lawn is proactive, seasonal care that supports turf health from the roots up. Our seven-step lawn treatment program is designed to target weeds, improve soil conditions, and strengthen your grass throughout the growing season.

Each application is timed to match seasonal conditions in New Jersey and uses professional-grade products to deliver lasting results.

Step 1: Spring Pre-Emergent with Fertilizer

We begin the season with a Dimension-based application, which prevents crabgrass and other weeds before they germinate. This treatment also includes a balanced spring fertilizer to kickstart healthy turf growth.

Step 2: Broadleaf Weed Control

This post-emergent application targets a wide range of broadleaf weeds that appear in early spring. It’s essential for keeping your lawn clean, uniform, and weed-free.

Step 3: Lime and Carbon Pro-G Application

We treat the soil with lime and Carbon Pro-G to neutralize soil pH and improve nutrient absorption. Healthier soil leads to stronger, more resilient grass with better color and density.

Step 4: Fungicide Treatment

Mid-summer heat and humidity create the perfect conditions for turf diseases. Our fungicide application helps eliminate and prevent common lawn fungi that cause brown patches, thinning, and discoloration.

Step 5: Insecticide Application

This step targets both surface and subsurface pests, such as chinch bugs, ants, and other insects that can damage your lawn. A healthy lawn is a pest-free lawn.

Step 6: Grub Control Plus Fertilizer

We apply grub treatment to stop root-feeding insects before they cause visible damage. This application also includes a slow-release fertilizer to support continued turf development through late summer.

Step 7: Fall Fertilizer Treatment

The final treatment of the season strengthens your lawn’s root system and prepares it for winter dormancy. This fall fertilizer promotes thick, green growth in the spring while helping your turf recover from summer stress.

We have been so lucky to have JBs take care of our seasonal landscaping/hardscaping needs and also snow plowing/salting for both our family home and our business properties.

We have been customers since 2012! Every year we start off the season with a Spring Clean up in our gardens and lawn followed by a lawn fertilization. Then our weekly lawn cuttings go from mid April to late October early November. The maintenance team does a thorough job leaving our lawn looking neat and nicely manicured. The office staff is attentive and makes sure to satisfy our special requests. Kudos to JB’s, you will look forward to seeing their truck pull up to your property every week! LO (Blairstown)
