Lawn Service | Elgin, Illinois
Whatever the time or year, you should be proactively thinking about lawn care! Issues can arise quickly and your lawn can go from luscious green to scratchy brown in a matter of days. If you are on the fence about whether to hire a team of lawn care professionals, give us a call today!
Fertilization
Fertilization is an essential part of any comprehensive lawn care plan. It’s so important because it provides your lawn with the nutrients needed to produce strong roots and grasses. Not only is a well-fertilized lawn healthier and greener, it is also far better at preventing weed infestation, disease, and drought. And as an added bonus, healthy lawns give back to the environment by producing oxygen, cooling the air during hot weather, and trapping and absorbing urban dust and pollution. Fertilization feeds your lawn by giving it a boost from the get go, and continually feeding it over the following few weeks to months. This allows grass plans to feed for an extended period, rather than feast all at once and thus is more environmentally friendly. We take the guesswork out of fertilization while giving your lawn access to the best product available on the market. Combined with proper mowing, watering, weed control (and in the absence of disease and insect problems), our fertilization service will provide a healthy lawn all season long.
Insect control
Despite their short life span, insects on the lawn can multiple rapidly. Normally, nature creates a balance between insects, natural predators, and food supplies. But if something – like, say, a changing weather pattern – happens to change that balance, then insect populations increase and could cause extensive damage to your turf. Insect damage will be particularly severe in thin, dry, or weed-infested lawns.
Our diagnosis of your insect control issue should be performed once the early signs of injury are observed, or when significant numbers of insects are found on the lawn. Since some insects can only be controlled at certain times during their life cycles, it’s essential to know 1) the insect responsible for the damage, 2) the life cycle of that insect, and 3) the level of infestation. That’s where we come in!
If left unchecked, turf insects can cause considerable damage to your lawn. Our insect control begins with the identification of the insect causing the damage to the lawn. Because some insects can only be controlled at certain times during their life cycles, our lawn care technicians are trained to identify the insect responsible for the damage, the specific life cycle of that insect, and the exact level of infestation. This knowledge is synthesized into a customized program that is applied only when and where needed by our trained professionals. As with our weed control products, our insect control products are most safely applied in the hands of a trained professional!

Pets
Animals, especially female dogs, can cause considerable damage by urinating on a lawn. The displacement of animals wastes throughout a lawn will result in a patchy, uneven colored lawn, including dead spots. A margin of dark green, rapidly-growing grass may surround a yellow patch of dying grass. Dog spots are often confused with patch-type lawn diseases. Practices that will help correct damaged areas are: 1) watering deeply to disperse salt concentrations; 2) rake out and overseed severely damaged areas with a suitable seed mixture; and 3) train the dog to make use of a designated area away from the lawn.
Weed control
Weeds are pesky, stubborn, and seem to provoke a never-ending battle on the lawn. Thankfully, you have us on your side! We know a thing or two about eliminating and controlling weeds, like dandelion, from your yard. Once weeds have invaded your lawn, the most effective way to get rid of them is with our weed control service. We use top-of-the-line products, which are most safely applied in the capable hands of a trained professional… like us! All pesticides must be registered before they can be used in North America. These products are also properly tested to ensure that they won’t cause harm to humans or the environment when used according to the label instructions. This is monitored and enforced by federal, state, and local authorities to ensure that potentially dangerous pesticides and insecticides are being used properly and safely.
We use the best, most effective weed control products on the market. Programs may involve both pre-emergent and post-emergent applications to prevent spring weed emergence and control pervasive weeds in the summer months. The control product must contact the leaf surface of the plant to be effective and works best when combined with other services (like fertilization), as well as proper mowing and watering.
