The Miller Premium Program vs. The "Other Guy"

Not all fertilization programs are created equal. Here's how our premium approach stacks up against traditional "weed and feed" services.

 The Miller Premium Program The "Other Guy" (Traditional)
 Custom golf-course grade blend + micronutrients  Basic nitrogen/potassium only
 Steady, healthy root development  Sudden growth surges — leads to weak grass
 Low salt formula — protects soil microorganisms  High salt formula — harms soil over time
 Rain-fast application — won't wash away  Effectiveness depends on weather timing
 Complete nutrition: microbes, enzymes & stress relief  Just "weed & feed" — no soil health support
 Systemic herbicide kills weeds at the root  Ester-based product kills tops only — weeds return

Not "Just" a Weed & Feed Program

Our premium 4-application program is a carefully calculated combination of controlled-release nitrogen fertilizer, multiple soil nutrients and enzymes, stress reliever, wetting agent, and pre & post-emergent herbicide. Here's the science behind it:

Nutrients available to plants for an extended period of time results in more nutrients used and less wasted from leaching or volatilization. Unlike free nitrogen in traditional programs that easily washes away, our controlled-release formula effectively feeds your lawn for weeks.
Fertilizer enhancement products such as microbes and enzymes increase fertilizer effectiveness by helping plants use the nutrients to the fullest. This means more of what we apply actually reaches your grass roots.
Additional products work together to ensure nutrient availability and protect the lawn from environmental stressors such as late-summer heat. Your lawn stays resilient even during the hottest weeks of July and August.
Systemically absorbed herbicides get to the root of the problem by killing tough weeds from the root up — including both broadleaf and crabgrass weeds. Unlike ester-based products that only kill the tops, our herbicide prevents weeds from growing back.

?? It's important to maintain a consistent fertilizer schedule — each season's treatment provides different benefits for optimal lawn health year-round.

Fertilizer Provides Necessary Nutrients for Your Lawn to Thrive

Spring fertilizer provides the initial nutrients needed for your lawn to grow to its optimal condition, while summer fertilizer gives your lawn a maintained look and continues to nourish your lawn. Our fall fertilizer treatment gets your lawn ready for the winter months as it starts to enter its dormant period. We've created this schedule with your lawn's health in mind.

Our lawn fertilizer treatments are performed to give your lawn the best care possible. We also include pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides to keep weeds under control.

Common Weeds in the Detroit Lakes Area

Weeds are unsightly and cause a detrimental effect on your lawn. When weeds are allowed to grow, they can steal the necessary nutrients and hydration that your grass needs to thrive. Weeds also grow at a rapid rate and crowd out the healthy portions of your lawn.

Since weeds appear at different times throughout the year, routine weed treatments are just as important as regular fertilization treatments. During all four of our fertilizer applications, we apply weed control to help prevent or kill any weeds germinating below the surface.

Dandelions
Thistle
Crabgrass
Creeping Charlie
Leafy Spurge
Spotted Knapweed

At Miller Yard Care & Construction, we utilize a combination of both pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides, and use a calculated combination of both that enables us to eradicate broadleaf and grassy weeds on your property.

Our Weed Control & Fertilization program can be purchased as part of our Complete Seasonal Yard Care package or as a separate package.

Microbial Aeration with C20

Aeration is important to decrease soil compaction and increase oxygen, water and nutrient availability to grass roots. We use C20 microbial aeration — a superior alternative to mechanical aeration.

No Compromise

Can be applied early in the season without compromising pre-emerge weed control.

No Mess

No unsightly soil plugs afterwards — your yard stays clean.

No Damage

No risk of damaging irrigation heads during the process.

Without proper fertilization and weed control treatments, your lawn can suffer from lawn disease, insect infestation, and overgrown weeds. Caring for your lawn at the soil level gives it the nutrients it needs to grow healthy and stress-free grass.
