We use fertilizers that are mixed and formulated to best suit the needs of lawns in our area, which are primarily Kentucky Bluegrasses. This factor is imperative in enriching the soil and providing the necessary nutrients for lawns to grow.
As well, providing specialty fertilizer to help lawns with recovery from fungus.
The best weed control available is a healthy, dense lawn. Thick turf provides great competition for weeds. Proper watering and fertilization insures good lawn growth and limited opportunity for weed invasion. Our initial early spring application includes a pre-emergent treatment to help defend against spurge and crabgrasses. Four of our five applications, in a full-season program, provide herbicide treatments for better weed control throughout the season.
We also offer core aeration, and strongly recommend that a lawn be aerated at least once a year—usually in the early spring. Aerating will help your lawn to breathe and will allow nutrients, water and fertilizer to penetrate the thatch and reach the roots. We use core aeration which leaves plugs on the surface of the lawn. These plugs help reduce compaction, reduce the thatch layer and add organic matter to the lawn surface.
Has your lawn struggled with grubs or bill bugs in the past? If so, you definitely do not want to miss our "Grub Suppression" application. This liquid treatment is applied between April and early May (depending upon temperatures and precipitation). Success depends on timing which targets the larval stage of the grub's life cycle. Application must occur prior to hatching, when grubs become active feeders of the lawn's root system.
Got active grubs? Don't let them get out of hand! Our liquid treatment kills the grubs and other insects that may have moved in during the lawn's weakened state.
Unfortunately, in the last several years, two types of fungus have appeared throughout Davis County: Necrotic Ring Spot (NRS) and patch fungus. If detected early, most problems can be overcome with various modifications to watering, fertilizing, fungicides and the amount of shade on the lawn. If treatment is necessary, we offer a specialized program that can assist you. We offer a FREE consultation at any time. Contact us for more details.
Every lawn is different. Soil conditions, grass types, water, nutrients and many other aspects affect the lawn's overall appearance and health. If you are unsure about what is afflicting your lawn, contact us us for a FREE lawn consultation.
