Give your lawn a boost this fall! 🌱

Core aeration and overseeding can help relieve soil compaction, improve water and nutrient movement, strengthen roots, and fill in thin or stressed areas.

We offer both single-pass and triple-pass core aeration + overseeding, depending on what your lawn needs.

Fall appointments are limited, so now is the time to get on the schedule.

🌱 Monday Lawn Tip – Spring in SW Michigan 🌱

Lawns are really starting to take off right now—but spring is a little different than summer.

💧 Watering
With all the rain we’ve been getting, most lawns don’t need regular sprinkler use yet.
That said, your system should still be:

Turned on
Checked for coverage
Adjusted if needed

Right now it’s more about making sure everything’s ready for summer—not running it constantly.

✂️ Mowing
Growth is picking up quick.

Stick to weekly mowing
Keep it around 3–3.5 inches
Don’t take off more than 1/3 at a time

Staying consistent now makes a big difference in how thick your lawn gets.

🌿 Fertilization
We’re getting close to the end of the window for Round 1 crabgrass prevention.
If you haven’t had it done yet, you’re risking more breakthrough and higher costs later.

This is one of the most important applications of the year.

💡 Bottom line:
Let the rain handle the watering, keep up with mowing, and don’t miss that pre-emergent timing.

📅 We’re currently scheduling:

Weekly mowing
Fertilization programs
Irrigation start-ups
