Applications

Healthy commercial landscapes require more than routine mowing and pruning. Turf, trees, shrubs and ornamental plants face changing nutrient needs, weeds, insects, diseases and environmental stresses throughout the growing season.

Merit Landscape Solutions provides commercial landscape applications, including fertilization, weed control, pest management and disease prevention, to promote strong, healthy growth throughout your landscape.

Our application services are integrated into broader commercial landscape maintenance programs, helping property managers take a proactive approach to plant and turf health rather than simply reacting when visible problems develop.

Fertilization, Weed Control & Pest Management

Different areas of a commercial landscape have different needs. Merit provides targeted treatments designed to support the health and appearance of turf, trees and plants.

Our commercial landscape application services include:

• Fertilization: Providing nutrients that support healthy turf and plant growth.
• Weed Control: Targeted treatments designed to manage unwanted weeds within maintained landscape areas.
• Pest Management: Applications that help manage insects and other landscape pests that can affect plant health.
• Disease Prevention: Treatments designed to help protect susceptible turf and plant material from landscape diseases.
• Turf Applications: Seasonal treatments that support healthier, more resilient commercial lawns.
• Tree & Shrub Applications: Targeted care designed around the needs of woody ornamental plants.

Merit's broader capabilities also include turf fertilization and integrated pest management, providing commercial property managers with specialized landscape care as part of a comprehensive maintenance program.

A Seasonal Approach to Turf & Plant Health

Landscape applications aren't a once-a-year service. Different treatments become appropriate at different points in the growing season.

Merit's landscape maintenance calendar illustrates this seasonal approach. Its program can include early- and late-spring crabgrass pre-emergent with fertilizer, late-spring broadleaf weed control with fertilizer, summer fertilizer with insect control, fall fertilizer with broadleaf weed control, shrub fertilizer and multiple shrub insect-control treatments. Exact timing varies from year to year based on weather conditions.

This scheduled approach allows landscape applications to work alongside mowing, pruning, irrigation, aeration, seeding and other maintenance services rather than functioning as isolated treatments.

Why Professional Landscape Applications Matter

Commercial landscapes represent a significant investment in a property's appearance. When turf becomes thin, weeds spread or plants decline, those issues can quickly affect curb appeal and create additional work for property management teams.

A proactive applications program is designed to support healthier plant material while addressing common pressures throughout the growing season.

Because Merit provides applications as part of its broader landscape maintenance capabilities, our team can consider turf care, irrigation, tree and shrub care, seasonal maintenance and plant health treatments together when managing the property.

Integrated Pest Management for Commercial Landscapes

Merit's commercial landscape capabilities include Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in addition to turf fertilization and other landscape applications.

Integrated Pest Management takes a broader approach to managing landscape pests by considering plant health and site conditions as part of the property's overall maintenance program. This complements Merit's emphasis on targeted treatments and proactive commercial landscape care.
