Lawn Care Treatments in Eagle from Green Services

Now is the time to begin preparing your lawn for a vibrant spring. The following are a few things we can do to prepare your lawn for success.

Fertilizer – This lawn application contains a high level of Potassium. The Potassium is a very important nutrient for overall lawn health.

Aeration – An aeration resolves compaction issues and allows soil access to the air, water and nutrients it desperately needs to be ready for spring rain.

Leaf and Debris Cleanup – Your lawn cannot breathe if it is being suffocated with dead leaves and landscape debris sitting on it from last year’s growing season.

If a lawn currently has an existing Dandelion weed in it, then it will only grow and spread more rapidly each day the temperature is over 60 degrees. If one single Homeowner has Dandelion weeds in their lawn and shrub beds then it is just a matter of time before it spreads to the neighboring Homeowners lawn and shrub beds.

The best solution to this problem is to utilize a broadleaf weed control in combination with a prescribed fertilizer program for the turf to help crowd out the weeds.

This disease can be managed by cultural practices and proper turf health care.

- Fungicide can be applied to speed turf recovery

- Overseeding of turf will help in turf recovery

- Apply fertilizer to promote new turf growth

- Mow lawn in the fall after dormancy

- Aerate each season to prevent thatch build up

- Maintain balanced soil fertility and a low soil PH

- Avoid placing large snow drifts or piles directly on turf

- Spread out snow to help prevent snow mold from growing

- Lightly rake any matted areas of turf

Light Raking - Rake your lawn to protect from snow mold damage. Raking will break up the matted areas to allow the turf to breathe and discourages fungal development.

Spring Aeration - A spring aeration is the easiest and most important part of maintaining a healthy, beautiful, green Treasure Valley lawn. This simple step needs done on a annual basis.

Fertilization - Apply fertilizer in the early spring to promote spring green-up, root development and help recover from winter stresses.

Nutsedge can be difficult to control, as it’s tuber root system typically grows 8″-14″ deep in the soil. Yellow Nutsedge tubers have as many as seven viable buds and enough of an energy reserve to sprout them all. The sooner it is treated, the better the results.

MOWING HEIGHT: The taller you mow your grass, the more your grass will naturally help crowd Nutsedge out. Mowing your grass shorter helps stimulate Nutsedge, as the grass actually gives it more room to grow and spread.

PROPER WATERING: Nutsedge likes to grow in overly moist areas of turf, with poor soil drainage.

HERBICIDE APPLICATIONS: Specialty herbicide applications are needed for control. Normal herbicide applications will have zero effect on this weed.

Billbugs are insects that damage the lawn by feeding on the roots. Infestations of Billbugs may completely kill the lawn if left untreated. Healthy, well fertilized and watered lawns tolerate injury from billbugs better than stressed lawns which lack proper nutrients. We battle two types of Billbugs here in the Treasure Valley, first the Bluegrass Billbug, then later on in the summer the Denver Billbug.

A preventative lawn treatment is needed before the damage occurs and the lawn becomes brown. Don’t let these grubs take away your beautiful lawn. No lawn is safe when it comes to these damage causing insects. If you miss the preventative treatment, do not worry we can get your lawn back with a specialized lawn care program.
