Classic Gardens & Landscape, Inc. offers 2 lawn fertilization and weed control programs to provide adequate care for any yard regardless of the condition. Our 8 and 12 round programs both incorporate a combination of granular, liquid and organic products. Our custom blended applications involve creating a specific nutrient mix based on time of year and weather patterns. This ensures that each application is applied with precision to maximize plant health, minimize waste, and are environmentally conscious.
Our 8-Round Lawn Treatment Program
This is Classic Gardens and Landscape’s basic lawn fertilization and weed control program, specifically designed to provide the optimum balance of fertilization and weed prevention for Birmingham’s climate, all in a budget-friendly way. This foundational program includes all the essential fertilization treatments throughout spring, summer, and fall to create a green, healthy, and weed-free lawn, along with properly timed pre-emergent applications that stop weed growth before it even starts.
Our 12-Round Lawn Treatment Program
For homeowners who want comprehensive protection and enhanced soil conditioning, our 12-round program offers year-round precision care. In addition to all the basic lawn fertilization and weed control treatments, our 12-round program includes additional pre- and post-emergent applications for superior weed control throughout the year. The added summer fertilizer and soil conditioning treatments ensure your lawn receives a consistent supply of nutrients for greener, thicker grass that can better withstand environmental stress. Classic Gardens and Landscape’s 12-round program is the ideal option for those who want their lawn to look its absolute best.
Insecticide and fungicide options are available as add-ons if needed. The schedule may vary slightly depending on weather and product supply.
Both programs are carefully timed to complement Birmingham’s growing conditions and soil composition, which typically feature a dense clay base and moderate acidity.

Understanding Lawn Treatment “Rounds”
Each round represents a specific lawn application performed at key points in the year. Some visits combine multiple rounds ensuring your lawn receives exactly what it needs when it needs it.
- Apply fertilizers, pre-emergents, or post-emergents based on seasonal needs
- Inspect for issues such as disease, insects, or irrigation problems
- Spot-spray weeds as needed
- Notate details on treatment and recommendations
This consistent approach builds lasting soil health and a strong pre-emergent barrier which can take up to a full year to reach peak effectiveness.
How Fertilization and Weed Control Work Together
Fertilization feeds your grass, weed control protects it. When lawns lack proper nutrients, weeds like crabgrass and clover quickly take advantage of weak or bare areas. By maintaining a steady supply of essential nutrients, your turf grows thicker, leaving less space for weeds to establish.
Our integrated programs combine:
- Pre-Emergent Control: Prevents weeds from developing before they appear.
- Post-Emergent Control: Targets existing weeds at the surface.
- Balanced Fertilization: Strengthens turf so it naturally resists new weed growth.
This dual approach ensures your lawn looks greener and stays healthier without the ups and downs of ill timed treatments or DIY quick fixes.
Birmingham Lawn Challenges & Climate Considerations
Birmingham lawns face unique challenges from compacted clay soils to hot, humid summers and cool, wet winters. These conditions require a customized approach to lawn care.
- Clay-Heavy Soil: Limits drainage and root depth. Our soil surfactants and humic acid treatments help improve water movement and nutrient absorption.
- Seasonal Temperature Swings: Warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia thrive here, but require consistent feeding to recover from heat stress and winter dormancy.
- High Weed Pressure: Local species such as crabgrass, spurge, clover, and burweed (sticker weed) thrive in untreated lawns. Our pre-emergent schedule is designed to block them before they sprout.
By tailoring our rounds to Birmingham’s climate, Classic Gardens & Landscape ensures lasting results you can see and feel underfoot.
What to Expect After Each Visit
After every treatment, your technician will place a small sign in your yard and send a detailed email summary. This report outlines:
- What product was applied and why
- Recommendations for mowing and watering
- Whether additional insect or disease treatments are advised
Communication and consistency are key, and with Classic Gardens & Landscape, you’ll always know exactly what’s happening with your lawn.
The Importance of Consistency
Even the best lawn program requires time to build visible, lasting results. Weed control works best once the full pre-emergent cycle has been completed, usually after a full year of treatments. Proper mowing height, watering habits, and seasonal follow-through are equally important.
With over 35 years of lawn care experience in Birmingham, Classic Gardens & Landscape understands how to achieve long-term results through steady, science-based lawn management.
Remember: Great lawns aren’t created overnight. They're built with consistency, quality products, and teamwork between you and our professionals.
