How Does Our Fertilizing Service Work?

ALM Lawn Care provides a comprehensive lawn fertilizing service that includes six applications spaced about 5-6 weeks apart. Each application contains a balanced blend of fertilizer, broadleaf weed control, and pre-emergent crabgrass control. Our June application also includes grub control to protect your lawn from these destructive pests. You’ll love the way your lawn looks, and with our satisfaction guarantee, you can be confident you’ve made the right choice. Learn more about what each visit entails below!

Rounds 1-3: Building a Strong Foundation

We kick off your lawn care service with a focus on establishing a healthy base:

Fertilizer

Our fertilizers provide essential nutrients that urban soils often lack, promoting healthy growth, vibrant color, and overall vigor.

Pre-Emergent Weed Control

This prevents pesky weeds like crabgrass, nutsedge, and foxtail from germinating, ensuring a weed-free lawn throughout the summer.

Post Emergent Broadleaf weed control

This targets existing broadleaf weeds, effectively eliminating them within a couple of weeks.
Rounds 4-6: Conquering Summer

With a solid foundation in place, we shift our focus to maintaining your lawn’s health throughout the summer heat:

Targeted Weed Control

We address heat-loving weeds like nutsedge and broadleaf weeds that thrive in summer.

Insect Control

Another round of surface insect control protects your lawn from chinch bugs and sod webworms.

Recovery and Resilience

We help your lawn recover from the stress of extreme temperatures, ensuring it stays healthy and vibrant.
+Option on Round 6: Winterizing Your Lawn

While Aeration and Seeding are excellent ways to prepare your lawn for winter, our final round offers another option: a potassium application (or nitrogen if temperatures aren’t cold enough). This strengthens your lawn against stressors like disease, extreme temperatures, and foot traffic, improving its resilience as you head into the cooler months.

Why Invest in Lawn Care?

A healthy lawn is more than just beautiful; it offers numerous benefits:

Environmental Advantages

A small lawn produces enough oxygen for a family of four for 24 hours and absorbs harmful pollutants like carbon dioxide and ozone.

Increased Home Value

A well-maintained lawn can boost your home’s value by up to 15% and offers a higher investment recovery rate than patios or decks.

Health and Beauty

Regular lawn care keeps your turf healthy, dense, and green, creating a welcoming space for your family to enjoy.

Eco-Friendly Option

ALM Lawn Care offers an organic-based fertilizer option to help you achieve a healthy lawn while minimizing your environmental impact. It’s about creating a lawn you can be proud of, a space your family can enjoy, all while using eco-friendly products and receiving top-notch service.

Grub Control

Protect your lawn from grub damage with ALM Lawn Care’s effective grub control program. Grubs can devastate a lawn by feeding on the roots, leading to unsightly dead patches and preventing healthy growth. Our proactive approach targets grubs in late spring and early summer, the most critical time for prevention. We guarantee our grub control treatments, and in the rare event of a breakthrough, we’ll apply a curative treatment to eliminate any remaining grubs and restore your lawn’s health.

Perimeter Pest Control

ALM Lawn Care’s comprehensive pest control programs protect your home and property from a wide range of common pests, including ants (carpenter and others), spiders, wasps/hornets, mice/rats, cockroaches, crickets, stink bugs, silverfish, fleas, beetles, centipedes, clothing moths, pantry pests, and more. Our all-inclusive approach addresses current infestations and prevents future problems, ensuring the safety and comfort of your family.

Flea & Tick Prevention

ALM Lawn Care: Protect Your Family and Pets with Our Flea & Tick Prevention Program

Worried about fleas and ticks infesting your lawn and putting your loved ones at risk? ALM Lawn Care offers a comprehensive Flea & Tick Program, providing five applications throughout the summer months to effectively control these troublesome parasites.

The ALM Lawn Care Approach: Understanding the Flea & Tick Problem

Fleas and ticks are more than just a nuisance; they pose a serious threat to the health of your family and pets. Consider these facts:

  • Rapid Reproduction: A single female flea can lay up to 18 eggs per day. A small infestation can quickly become a major problem.

  • Hidden Dangers: The majority of fleas are not the visible adults, but rather eggs (50%), larvae (30%), and pupae (15%), making them difficult to eliminate completely. They thrive in warm, moist environments, especially after mild winters.

ALM Lawn Care: Effective Flea Elimination

ALM Lawn Care’s targeted treatments disrupt the flea life cycle, preventing future generations and providing long-lasting protection.

ALM Lawn Care: Tick Prevention Experts

Ticks are notorious for carrying diseases. Their stealthy nature makes them especially dangerous, often latching onto hosts unnoticed. ALM Lawn Care understands the behavior of ticks and targets our treatments accordingly.

  • Tick Behavior: Ticks don’t jump or fly, but instead wait in grassy areas, especially near the edges of lawns bordering wooded areas, stone walls, or plantings. They latch onto passing hosts like deer, dogs, and humans.

  • Tick Resilience: Ticks are incredibly resilient, able to survive for up to 200 days without food or water and living for as long as two years. This makes consistent treatment crucial.

  • Targeted Tick Control: Studies show that 82% of deer ticks are found within 9 feet of the lawn’s edge. ALM Lawn Care focuses our treatments on these high-risk areas to provide maximum protection.
