Cory’s Lawn Service runs a 5-step fertilization program and a separate 5-step weed control program built specifically for Reno and Sparks lawns. Our spray technicians are fully licensed through the Nevada Department of Agriculture, and we have a turf management agronomist on staff who handles problem lawns and builds custom treatment plans when the standard program is not enough.
Fertilization and weed control run on separate schedules because the two services have different goals. Fertilization feeds the soil and the grass. Weed control prevents new growth and knocks out what is already there. Timing matters more than anything else with both services, and our team tracks local weather patterns closely to make sure every application goes down at the right time.
Whether you signed up for lawn mowing and realized your grass still looks rough, or you already know you need a fertilizer and weed control program, we will put together the right plan for your property and keep you informed every step of the way.

Picking the right fertilizer depends on the time of year, your soil conditions, and what your lawn actually needs. Most homeowners in the Reno-Sparks area end up buying the same big box store fertilizer that gets sold everywhere in the country, without any consideration for our high desert climate, alkaline soils, or water restrictions.
All fertilizers contain three main nutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. But the ratio of those ingredients, the release speed, and the application timing all need to match your region. That is why we build a fertilization program specifically for Northern Nevada instead of pulling something generic off a shelf.
Healthy soil can do a lot of the heavy lifting on its own, but if your lawn is thin, yellow, or struggling to hold color through the summer, a proper fertilization schedule is what turns things around. Pairing fertilization with lawn aeration is one of the best things you can do for compacted Reno soil, since it opens up the ground so nutrients and water can actually reach the root zone.
Began several services with Cory’s Lawn Service back in July and our lawn has never looked better! All technicians have been prompt, professional, and friendly. Communications are timely and courteous. Satisfied customer.
I hired Cory's Law Service for a back-yard clean up. Their customer service was extremely responsive, they came out with a few days to give me an estimate, and the team was back 4 days later to do the work. They did an excellent job trimming all of our bushes and removing 3 small dead evergreens. They also did an immaculate job cleaning up the yard and they were polite and professional the entire time. I highly recommend the team!
Cory's Lawn Service has always provided great service. Not just for us, but for our neighborhood. Thank you for being kind and keeping our weeds at bay. Their schedule alerts are helpful for planning. Over the summer, two lawn technicians helped clean our neighbors back yard and it was 100 degrees out. All of you complete great work. Thank you!
Tyler was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. We first discussed how and what he was going to do, then he checked in with any questions during the service, and finally gave me a breakdown of what was found, fixed and adjusted at the end. Well worth the money and now I can check one more thing of my list of projects. Thank you!
We've been using Cory's for weed services for a few years now, and they've done an excellent job! It's made a huge difference. Today we used them for Irrigation repair as well. Zach was very nice, thorough, and communicative. He gave us some education to better care for our equipment and lawn, too. Tyler who first came to diagnosed was honest and also very communicative. Highly recommend!
