For a healthy lawn, we recommend mowing at 3 to 4 inches. Taller grass promotes deeper roots, better drought resistance, and helps prevent weeds like crabgrass. When we mow for you, our commercial mowers are set to 4”. For the last mowing of the year, we mow at 2.5”.

Fertilizing your lawn provides essential nutrients, promoting healthy, lush growth, thicker grass, and stronger roots, making it more resilient to pests, diseases, and environmental stressors like heat and foot traffic. We now provide a 1 step and 2 step application method to provide nutrients to your lawn all season.

Prevention is the best way to control crabgrass and is done by maintaining a healthy, thick lawn. The best way to prevent crabgrass is with a pre-emergent herbicide applied in early spring before soil temperatures reach 55°F. If crabgrass has already appeared, post-emergent treatments and proper mowing practices can help control it.

Most weed control products start working within a few hours to a few days, but complete results may take 7–14 days, depending on the weed type and weather conditions.

We recommend waiting 24–48 hours after applying weed control to allow the product to absorb properly into the weeds.

In most cases, leaving clippings on the lawn (mulching) is beneficial as they decompose and return nutrients to the soil. However, if the grass is overgrown or wet, bagging may be necessary to prevent clumps. Removing lawn clippings and leaves in the fall is crucial for a healthy lawn because they can smother the grass, block sunlight and air circulation, and potentially lead to diseases and thatch buildup over winter. 

Core aeration is the process of removing small plugs of soil to reduce compaction, improve air circulation, and enhance water and nutrient absorption. It’s essential for maintaining a healthy lawn, especially in compacted or high-traffic areas. For cool-season grasses, aeration is beneficial in both spring and fall.  

The best time for seeding and overseeding in Wisconsin is early fall (late August to mid-September) when soil temperatures are warm, and moisture levels are higher. Spring is also an option but requires more watering and weed control.

Water your lawn early in the morning (between 4 AM and 10 AM) to reduce evaporation and allow grass to dry before nightfall, which helps prevent disease. Watering lawns at night promotes disease growth because prolonged moisture on grass blades creates an ideal environment for fungal and bacterial diseases to thrive, especially when combined with the lack of sunlight for drying. 

Dandelions are best controlled with a broadleaf herbicide in early summer and early fall. Fall is particularly good for preventing dandelions the following spring. However, you can also target dandelions anytime they are actively growing.
