Uncle’s Idiot Proof Lawn Care Program
The Green Team has been helping folks grow great grass for decades, and it always comes down to this: 5 Idiot Proof lawn care steps. That’s all it takes to go from thin and patchy to thick and healthy. Grab the right seed, feed it right, and lean on us to help you every step of the way.
Step 1: Prevent!®
Apply in: Mid-March through Mid-April
Prevent crabgrass and feed your lawn with Loveland Prevent®. This creates a vapor barrier at the soil level to stop ugly summer weeds before they show up.
Step 2: Weed and Feed
Apply in: April through early June
Loveland Weed and Feed® tackles pesky dandelions, prickly lettuce, and other broadleaf weeds while feeding your lawn to keep it growing thick and green.
Step 3: Prevent!®
Apply in: Late May through early June
Apply Loveland Prevent® again for round two of crabgrass prevention. This booster keeps your summer lawn clean and crabgrass-free.
Step 4: Renovator®
Apply in: September through October
Loveland Renovator® helps lawns bounce back from summer stress with a strong shot of nitrogen. Overseeding? Renovator also works as the perfect starter fertilizer.
Step 5: Snowman®
Apply in: Late October through November
Loveland Snowman® strengthens roots, boosts disease resistance, and preps your grass to handle winter like a champ—with a bonus of early spring green-up.

Yes, they are! Once you apply and water them properly, all the products in our idiot proof lawn care program are safe for kids, pets, and bare feet. After you’ve watered the product into the soil (or after a good rain) and the lawn has dried, you’re safe to get back to your backyard fun. The Green Team is always happy to walk you through safe application tips if you’ve got questions.
Well, it’s in the name! Uncle’s Idiot Proof Lawn Care Program takes the guesswork out of lawn care. It’s a simple, step-by-step plan using professional-grade products made specifically for Kansas City and Omaha lawns.
Just follow the year-round calendar of our lawn care schedule. Apply the products at the right time, and you’ll grow thick, healthy grass without a degree in turfology. Plus, the Green Team is ready to help if you need a little extra coaching.
Water is your secret weapon! Each product needs to be watered after each application—either by your sprinkler, hose, or a good ol’ Midwestern thunderstorm. After that, deep and infrequent watering keeps your lawn growing strong.
That said, during hot and dry stretches, you may need to water more often. If you’ve got questions about the best watering schedule, you can see more detailed information on our blog, or you can come to your closest Grass Pad store—we love to help!
Not at all! Don’t panic—lawns are more forgiving than you think. If you miss a step of your lawn care schedule, just pick up right where you left off. The Green Team can help you adjust your plan based on what you missed and what’s happening in your lawn. Uncle likes to say, “Lawn care isn’t pass or fail—it’s learn and grow even more!”
