Lawn Management and Fertilization Experts in Waterloo, IL

When searching for a reliable lawn care service, the first thing to look for in a company is that they are state licensed. The applicator should be able to produce a license number that allows them to apply fertilizer and herbicide products to any lawn for hire. It’s illegal for a person to apply fertilizer or herbicide to a property without being properly licensed. This license ensures the company has passed state tests on herbicides and other lawn products, as well as having the proper insurance coverage. Our applicators have a combined experience of 88 years applying these types of products.

Below are the basic management practices we use to establish and maintain healthy and vibrant lawns.

Insect Control

Many kinds of insects or insect-like pests harbor in lawns. Most are more of a nuisance rather than causing serious damage to properties. Occasionally, populations of grubs, armyworms, sod webworms, aphids, leafhoppers, and chinch bugs become large enough to require control.

Our program includes control for these insects.

Mowing

Mowing

Cutting turf grass at a minimum height of 3″ will encourage a healthy lawn. Lawns cut below recommended height will discourage deep rooting and may cause the turf to thin and create weed problems. When edging, avoid cutting too close to the ground.

We do not provide lawn mowing services.

Fertilization

Fertilization

Fertilization is important because it improves turf grass density, color, and recuperative potential. A Healthy, properly fertilized, dense turf grass resists weed invasion and can tolerate heat, cold, drought, and wear better.

Keep your lawn healthy with timely and appropriate fertilization by our trained team.

Weed Control

Weed Control

The proper timing of weed control applications is crucial in controlling weeds. Weeds interfere with the beauty and function of turf grass areas.

Our weed control program begins with producing dense, vigorous, healthy turf, which requires proper mowing, watering, and fertilizing. Our lawn care program includes all this and more.

Aeration

Aeration

Your lawn will benefit from at least one core aerification each year to improve air and water movement into the root zone soil.

Aeration will encourage healthy growth in your turf grass, protecting it from unwanted weeds and promoting healthy plant growth in your garden. Our lawn care program includes timely scheduled aeration for your garden.
