Spring Fertilizer – Kickstart Growth for a Lush Lawn

After a long winter, your lawn needs a boost to regain its rich green color and strength. Our spring fertilizer treatment replenishes essential nutrients, encouraging root development and vigorous growth. This application ensures your grass starts the season strong, promoting thickness and resilience against weeds and drought. A well-fertilized lawn also enhances the effectiveness of mowing, helping your grass stay even and dense.

Spring Crabgrass Control – Prevent Weeds Before They Start

Crabgrass is one of the most aggressive lawn invaders, and once it takes hold, it’s difficult to eliminate. Our spring crabgrass control application is a pre-emergent treatment designed to stop crabgrass seeds from sprouting before they become a problem. Applying this treatment early in the season helps prevent competition with healthy grass, ensuring a weed-free start to spring. Combined with proper mowing and fertilization, crabgrass control helps keep your lawn looking flawless.

Summer Lawn Fertilizer – Maintain Strength During the Heat

The summer sun can stress your lawn, leading to thinning grass and brown patches. Our summer lawn fertilizer is formulated to provide slow-release nutrients that keep your lawn green, even in high temperatures. This treatment strengthens your grass against heat stress and promotes deep root growth, making your lawn more resilient. Consistent mowing at the proper height further enhances your lawn’s ability to withstand summer conditions.

Fall Lawn Fertilizer – Prepare for a Healthy Spring

Fall is the most crucial time for lawn fertilization. Our fall lawn fertilizer application replenishes nutrients lost over the summer, strengthens roots, and prepares your lawn for winter dormancy. A well-fertilized lawn in the fall leads to early spring green-up and healthier grass next season. Paired with regular mowing, this treatment ensures that your lawn is strong and ready to thrive.

spring weed control

Spring Lawn Weed Control – Early Prevention for a Weed-Free Yard

Spring weeds like dandelions and clover can quickly take over your lawn if not controlled early. Our spring weed control targets broadleaf weeds before they spread, reducing competition for nutrients and keeping your grass healthy. Regular mowing also helps prevent weeds from spreading by removing their seed heads before they can germinate.

 

Summer Lawn Weed Control – Keep Your Lawn Weed-Free All Season

Warm weather encourages aggressive weed growth. Our summer weed control treatment is designed to target persistent broadleaf weeds while protecting your grass. This service helps maintain a clean, uniform lawn throughout the hottest months. Combined with routine mowing at the correct height, summer weed control prevents weeds from establishing themselves and taking over your yard.

grub control

Grub Control – Protect Your Lawn from Damage

Grubs are the larvae of beetles that feed on grass roots, causing dead patches and attracting pests like raccoons and birds. Our grub control treatments help prevent and eliminate these destructive insects before they cause widespread damage. A properly mowed and maintained lawn is also more resistant to grub infestations, as healthy grass can recover more effectively from minor pest damage.

Aeration – Improve Soil Health for Stronger Grass

Compacted soil prevents water, air, and nutrients from reaching the roots of your grass, leading to poor growth and thinning areas. Our core aeration service removes small plugs of soil to relieve compaction, improve drainage, and enhance root development. Aeration is best paired with overseeding and regular mowing to encourage a thick, vibrant lawn.

overseeding

Overseeding – Fill in Bare Spots for a Lush Lawn

If your lawn has thin or patchy areas, overseeding introduces new grass seed to improve density and resilience. We use high-quality seed blends suited to Iowa’s climate to ensure even, healthy growth. Overseeding works best when combined with aeration and proper mowing practices, keeping new seedlings protected while they establish.

Slice Seeding – Maximize Seed-to-Soil Contact for Stronger Growth

Slice seeding is a specialized technique that cuts small slits into the soil and places grass seed directly into them. This method ensures superior germination and long-term lawn health. Our slice seeding service is ideal for areas that need thickening or complete renovation. Proper mowing height and frequency help new grass establish quickly and grow uniformly.
