Fertilizing & Weed Control in Austin, MN

The Groundsmasters delivers customized fertilizing and weed control programs for residential and commercial properties throughout Austin, MN. Our licensed applicators design treatment plans specific to the soil conditions, turf varieties, and weed pressures found across Mower County, ensuring your lawn receives exactly what it needs at the right time.

Austin is the county seat of Mower County in southeastern Minnesota, situated along the Cedar River about 45 miles southeast of Owatonna. Known as the home of Hormel Foods, Austin is a vibrant city with a diverse population and strong economic base. Soil composition and pH levels vary across Austin neighborhoods, which is why we do not take a cookie-cutter approach. Our programs typically include four to six applications per season, starting with an early spring pre-emergent to prevent crabgrass and other annual weeds before they germinate. We then follow with targeted broadleaf weed treatments and balanced fertilizer applications timed to support healthy growth through summer and into fall.

Our applicators hold current Minnesota state licenses and complete annual continuing education to stay up to date on the latest products, regulations, and best practices. We use professional-grade granular and liquid products that are not available at retail stores. These commercial formulations are more effective, longer-lasting, and safer when applied correctly by trained professionals.

Weed control in Austin requires attention to the specific species common to the area. Dandelions, clover, creeping charlie, and thistle are among the most persistent broadleaf weeds across Mower County. Our targeted spot-treatment approach minimizes chemical use while maximizing effectiveness, keeping your lawn thick and weed-free without blanket-spraying your entire property.

The Cedar River corridor gives Austin properties unique drainage considerations, and the city's southeastern location means slightly different weather patterns than central Minnesota. Our experienced crews adapt service plans accordingly.

From the neighborhoods surrounding Todd Park to the commercial corridors along Main Street and Oakland Avenue, Austin property owners count on scheduled grounds maintenance to protect their investments.

Grub control is another important component of a complete lawn health program. White grubs — the larval stage of Japanese beetles and June bugs — feed on grass roots below the surface, causing brown patches that can spread quickly. We offer preventive grub treatments that protect your lawn before damage appears, which is far more effective and affordable than trying to repair grub damage after the fact.
