My goal is to kill the chickweed, while growing a healthier grass with fertilizer. How can I effectively achieve both ???

Should my fertilizer company gets rid of my lawn crab grass? I have paid this fertilizer company fertilising my lawn this year several times a year including "weed control". I just received a call from this company saying that my lawn has crab grass and it will cost me $110 to get rid of the weed because, in their view, crab grass is not a lawn weed. However, I just read from the governement and a from a lawn fertilizer company saying that crab grass is a weed. http://www.vigoro.ca/crabgrass.php http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/crop... But, my wife said I got it wrong because I should call several local lawn care companies to see if their annual lawn care contract with "weed control" includes get rid of crab grass as well. In her view, that is the "industry standard" whether "weed control" should or should not cover crab grass, and I am wrong to go after the definition of weed. Is my wife right, or am I right, in a court of law? Do I have a case to discuss further with my lawn company?

lawn care specialists: does “putting in a lawn” include fertilizer and mulch? I was given an estimate from a local “lawn care specialist” to put in a lawn: spreading 20 yards of top soil and planting seed over and area that is 1/10th of an acre for $800.00. Just before putting the seed down he told me he forgot to add fertilizer and hay for mulch. He insisted that at the very least I need the hay which will cost and additional $200.00 and fertilizer would be “a bit more”. I assumed when he gave me an estimate to put a lawn over a bare already graded area, that fertilizer and mulch were included in the price. I have not paid the final half yet and want other opinions as to whether these items are typically part of an estimate. I feel this to be similar to being told that a visiting nurse will cost $180.00 for a four hour visit that will cover an exam and dressing changes, then after she shows up be told that the sterile gauze and normal saline will be an additional $45 or the wound will just be left open!
Does anybody use "starter fertilizer" on an established lawn? I overseeded some areas of my lawn, and used "starter fertilizer" in those areas. I noticed the established lawn was a nice dark green in those areas, and is growing like crazy, compared with other areas of my lawn. The starter fertilizer was also guranteed not to burn the lawn. It made me think this was good stuff to use on the entire lawn, Does anybody do this?
