Why Lawn Fertilization is Essential
Maintaining a healthy, weed-free commercial property in Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, and the surrounding areas requires a strategic approach to fertilization and weed control. At Mitchell Property Maintenance, we offer a comprehensive Commercial Fertilization and Weed Control Program designed to improve soil health, strengthen turf, and effectively manage weed infestations. Our expert treatments ensure that commercial landscapes across the region remain lush, professional, and inviting throughout the year.
Key Benefits of Fertilization:
- Strengthens root development
- Enhances drought resistance
- Improves soil structure
- Encourages thick, even growth
- Reduces weed competition by promoting dense turf coverage
- Provides essential nutrients for year-round lawn health
How Fiesta™ Weed Control Works
Weeds compete with grass for nutrients, water, and sunlight, making them a major threat to a healthy lawn. Our Weed & Feed Program combines fertilization with targeted weed control solutions to reduce invasive plants and promote optimal turf health.
For effective weed management, we use Fiesta™, a selective broadleaf weed control product. Fiesta™ is a low-risk, iron-based herbicide that targets weeds while being safe for your grass. Results are typically visible within 24-48 hours, with weeds beginning to wither and die. However, some weeds may require multiple treatments for full control.
How Fiesta™ Weed Control Works:
- The active ingredient, iron (FeHEDTA), is absorbed by broadleaf weeds but does not harm grass.
- It works through iron toxicity, selectively killing weeds.
- It does not prevent weeds from germinating, so multiple applications throughout the season are recommended.
- Works best when combined with proper lawn maintenance, including mowing and watering.

Lawn Maintenance After Treatment
- Can I mow my lawn after a weed control treatment?
It is best to wait at least 24 hours before mowing after a weed control treatment to allow the product to be fully absorbed by the weeds. - How soon after a fertilization treatment can my lawn be watered?
Watering within 24 hours of a fertilization treatment is recommended to help nutrients absorb into the soil, unless otherwise advised. - How does weed control affect newly seeded lawns?
It is best to wait at least four to six weeks after seeding before applying weed control treatments to allow new grass to establish properly.
