Feeding plants has been a requirement for them to thrive throughout all of ancient history. We all need the best food possible to stay healthy. Your lawn is no exception. Just like the food selections at your local market or restaurants, not all food qualities are the same. There are so many choices and labels can be tricky to read and understand, the ingredients are unrecognizable and hard to pronounce. Choosing a beneficial fertilizer to meet the nutritional needs of you lawn during different times of the year presents the same challenges. Additionally, you need to understand the application instructions and have the necessary equipment calibrated correctly. Too much or too little can cause damage. What’s actually in those packages? How many do you need? Many are synthetic nitrogen based and contain more cheap fillers than nutrients!
Giving your lawn an all-natural, compost or organic based slow-release product provides a long lasting feeding that encourages living soil. Living soil has beneficial microbes that build the healthy foundation for deep root growth and thick green grass above ground. Healthy grass is naturally more resistant to weeds, disease, insects and even drought. I recommend applications every 6 – 8 weeks. Hiring a professional should include questions and research of their products, practices and values.
What is the best time of year to fertilize my lawn, and how often should it be done?
The best time to fertilize your lawn typically depends on the type of grass you have and your geographical location. For most grasses, the prime times for fertilization are in the spring and fall. We recommend a fertilization schedule of three to four times a year, although this may vary depending on your specific lawn's needs.
How does your pest control service work, and is it safe for my children and pets?
Our pest control service involves a thorough inspection of your property, identification of pest issues, and a customized treatment plan to address these issues. We use products that are designed to be effective yet safe, minimizing the risk to your children and pets. However, we always advise keeping your children and pets away from treated areas until the products have completely dried.
What types of pests can your service eliminate, and what is the process for treating an infestation?
Our pest control service can handle a wide range of pests, including ants, cockroaches, spiders, rodents, termites, and more. Once we identify the pest, we devise a treatment plan that could involve bait stations, chemical treatments, traps, or other methods. Our goal is not only to eliminate the current infestation but also to prevent future ones.
I've noticed brown patches on my lawn. Could this be a pest problem or a lack of fertilizer?
Brown patches on your lawn could be caused by a variety of issues, from disease and pests to drought and lack of nutrients. Our experts can inspect your lawn to determine the exact cause and recommend the best treatment, whether it's pest control, fertilization, or both.
Can I buy your lawn fertilization and pest control products to apply myself, or do you only offer service-based treatments?
At this time, our company primarily focuses on service-based treatments. We believe in delivering a comprehensive solution that not only includes application of products, but also a professional assessment and monitoring to ensure effectiveness. By having our trained technicians handle your lawn care and pest control needs, we can provide the best results and peace of mind for our customers.
If you have any other questions, Feel free to give us a Call!
We’re always transparent with our customers, and even brutally honest. We use the most environmentally friendly products and techniques. However, sometimes a certain pest, fungus, or disease requires “heavier artillery” that can be classified as a toxin. Should that happen, we use dosages, timing, and application techniques that will get the job done with minimal negative impact on people, pets, properties, and the planet. We’re totally committed to always “Be Green”.
