How the programs work
Every LawnWise program is designed to stimulate the root system. A lawn with deep, dense roots is a hard place for opportunistic weeds to get a foothold, and each program puts down the right amount of herbicide on top of that as an extra barrier.
From there the three programs build on each other. LawnWise Plus adds fall aeration and seeding, which relieves the compaction a hot, dry summer leaves in our clay and brings in new, improved varieties of grass. LawnWise Premier adds a fungicide for Brown Patch, the disease that runs through Tennessee turf in May, June and July. It goes down as a preventive, so the fungus never gets a head start.

What goes down, and when
Rounds 1 and 2 pair a pre-emergent with a post-emergent and fertilizer. The pre-emergent keeps crabgrass and other weed seeds from sprouting as the soil warms; the post-emergent handles what has already come up.
Rounds 3 and 4 bring in the bio-nutrients, along with fertilizer with iron and another post-emergent. Iron deepens the color without pushing soft top growth, and the bio-nutrients feed the soil the roots live in.
Rounds 5 through 7 keep the lawn fed through summer and into fall, with post-emergent where broadleaf weeds show up. Round 6 is the one we call “it’s seeding time!”, because it lines up with the fall window for aeration and overseeding.
Round 8 is lime, in every program, to bring the soil’s pH back where grass wants it. Plus and Premier carry on with round 9, aeration and seeding, and Premier finishes with round 10, the Brown Patch fungicide.

Answers
Basic is eight rounds: pre-emergent, post-emergent, fertilizer, bio-nutrients with iron, and lime. Plus adds a ninth round of aeration and seeding to relieve compaction and bring in improved grass. Premier adds a tenth round, a preventive fungicide for Brown Patch, the disease that hits Tennessee turf in May, June and July.
Brown Patch is pervasive in Tennessee turf in May, June and July. That is why the LawnWise Premier program applies its fungicide as a preventive measure, before the disease gets a head start, instead of waiting for brown circles to spread across a fescue lawn in the heat.
Round 8 of every LawnWise program is a lime treatment. Lime corrects the soil’s pH, and a lawn at the right pH grows deeper roots, keeps a richer color and gives weeds less room. It is included in Basic, Plus and Premier.
Bio-nutrients are supplements LawnWise adds in rounds 3 and 4, alongside fertilizer with iron, to feed the soil and the root system. They are part of how the programs cut back on pesticide: a stronger root system leaves less room for opportunistic weeds to move in.
A pre-emergent stops weed seeds, crabgrass included, from germinating, so it goes down in the first two rounds of the year. It stops grass seed too, which is why seeding waits until fall; the post-emergent in those same rounds takes care of the weeds already up.
