Fungicide Treatments
In Illinois, lawn fungus may manifest as brown patches, yellow speckling, or powdery coatings. These issues are frequently caused by fungi that prosper in moist environments, which can result from overwatering or inadequate drainage. To prevent and manage lawn fungus, homeowners are advised to improve soil conditions, control moisture levels, and adhere to proper lawn care practices. Regular monitoring and early intervention are essential for managing and minimizing the effects of lawn fungus on Illinois lawns.
For more persistent lawn diseases, fungicide applications may be necessary. Certain diseases could require curative fungicide treatments to protect unaffected grass, and multiple applications might be needed for effective results. While fungicides will not reverse existing damage, enhancing root growth conditions and reducing thatch are crucial steps. Recommended practices include core aeration, topdressing, appropriate fertilization, correct mowing height (avoid mowing too low), and light, frequent watering. Prompt and comprehensive management strategies can effectively address lawn disease outbreaks.​
Pest Management (Insecticide)
​​Pest management involves properly identifying the insects' causing issues to your lawn. Upon identification a treatment plan can be put into action of preventing, monitoring or using biological or chemical pesticides to alleviate the problem. Remember that healthy and vigorously growing lawns can tolerate a higher degree of pest pressure. Keep your lawns healthy with proper fertilization, aeration & water.
​
Insects: *Grubs *Chinch Bugs * Sod Webworm *Ticks *Ants, etc.​
Aeration
Lawn Aeration is the process of removing small cores of soil & grass roots from the lawn. Over time a healthy stand of grass produces a thick layer of roots beneath the soil surface. This abundant root system can hinder rain & irrigation from passing deep into the soil & reaching the root system that supports the lawns health during times of drought. A thick layer of roots & soil becomes compacted over time due to traffic, mowing & natural settling. Aeration reduces compaction, allows moisture, air & nutrients to penetrate the surface resulting in an improvement of lawn vitality. The soil cores are left within the lawn area to breakdown naturally. Aerate your lawn, since Dollar Spot (fungus) often occurs on thatched, drought-stressed lawns, aeration is an effective way to control thatch in your lawn.
Benefits:
*Loosening the soil encourages root growth
*Increased penetration of water, air & nutrients to soil
*Degrades Thatch​
Over Seeding
Over Seeding is an important part of growing a healthy lush lawn. Over Seeding revives damaged lawns caused by a lack of water, heavy foot traffic & heat stress. Over Seeding not only allows grass to grow where it doesn't currently exist, but it also improves your lawn by sowing better varieties. The process of over seeding involves planting grass seed directly into the existing lawn without ruining the lawn or soil.
​
Over seeding achieves the best results when the lawn is aerated with double pass aeration. Double pass aeration is going over the lawn with an aerator in two directions (North/ South & then East/ West).
Soil Conditioner
*Stimulating root development, it protects turf & plants against environmental and cultural stressors while maximizing water and nutrient uptake.
*Highly soluble chelated iron (EDTA iron) is easily absorbed by the plant, providing a consistently lush appearance for turf and plants.
*By conditioning the soil, it optimizes soil pH, CEC, salinity and accelerates seed germination to ensure that roots take hold quickly and securely.
*The formula nearly doubles the absorption of key micronutrients, improving the efficiency and utilization of nutrients applied.
*Bio-charged carbon holds water while making it available to the plant when needed, allowing your soil to get more from every drop.
*Powered by MobilEX™, delivers nutrients throughout the entire plant and transports them to areas where they’re needed most.
Soil Testing
Soil testing is a crucial practice that involves the rapid chemical analysis of soil to determine its nutrient status and pH level. It helps in assessing soil pH, Buffer pH, Soil Organic Matter, Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) estimated nitrogen release (ENR), sodium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, boron, zinc, manganese, iron, copper, & base saturation, which is essential for making informed decisions regarding fertilizer applications and land management.​​
Analysis: The collected samples are dried and examined using advanced technology to create a detailed chemical profile of the soil, showing both the amount and accessibility of nutrients needed for healthy turf development.
Interpretation: The results are then interpreted to provide practical recommendations for fertilizer use & other management practices.
Winterizer Fertilization
Winterizer (or the WinterGreen Application), is a type of lawn fertilizer applied in late fall to prepare the turf for the winter season ahead. It helps the grass store nutrients & boosts root strength, ensuring a healthier lawn during the cold months & a faster green-up in the spring. Winter fertilizers (or WinterGreen) are different from fall lawn treatments, which are applied before winter & encourage root growth. Winterizer (or WinterGreen) are essential for maintaining a healthy lawn during the dormant period of winter.
Lawn Maintenance
Lawn Maintenance: entails keeping your lawn and outdoor space clean and manicured year-round. Whether it's preparing your lawn & beds for spring by clearing winter debris, edging beds, mowing the lawn weekly, trimming the shrubs, pruning the trees, edging the walks, weeding the beds & recycling leaf debris back into the lawn as organic matter & a final yard clean up before winter.
