• Fertilization and Weed Control: Grass needs nutrients to thrive, and nutrients don’t occur in sufficient quantities in most lawns. Fertilization in spring, fall, and other select times provides grass the nutrients it needs and is an essential part of your Michigan lawn care routine. Thick, healthy grass is the best protection against weeds and pests, but we also provide pre-emergent weed control for crabgrass and liquid weed control for post-emergent nuisances such as dandelions. Because the best times for weed control and fertilization often overlap, we make sure to get it right so that the weed control treatments aren’t also inhibiting or killing the growth you actually want

• Core Aeration: There’s a layer between the top of grass blades and the soil called the thatch, and dead organic debris accumulates there. When the thatch gets too dense, it can prevent water, sunlight, and other nutrients from reaching the grass roots, weakening or killing your grass. Core aeration creates small, temporary “holes” in your lawn to manage the thatch and also “churn” the soil. Fertilization, weed control, and core aeration are the essential parts of building and maintaining a beautiful, healthy lawn.

• Grub Control: Grubs themselves are not much of a problem, but in their larval form, they can be a big problem, and they can do a lot of damage fast. The larvae live beneath the soil where you can’t see them and eat the roots of your grass. Areas they’ve damaged look a lot like areas harmed by drought, so sometimes people misdiagnose the problem and apply the wrong remedy. We know the signs of grubs and how to confirm if you have grub damage, and then we use a preventative pesticide that keeps adults from laying more eggs in your lawn. Basically, we stop the cycle.

• Mole Control: Moles love eating grubs in their larval form. Sounds great, right? Actually, it’s not so great for a couple of reasons. Earthworms make up far more of a mole’s diet than grubs do, so pesticides that target grubs don’t mean that moles will go elsewhere for food. Also, as moles go about seeking food, they dig into the lawn, leaving ugly piles of dirt behind as they do. Moles are tough to get rid of as well. There’s a place for moles, but your yard isn’t it. Our mole control service will remove moles from your lawn.

• Soil Testing: Sometimes, before lawn care begins, it’s a good idea to test the soil to see how healthy it is and if there are any toxins or deficiencies in it. This can especially be the case when you first move in or if your grass is underperforming despite your best efforts. We’ll perform a professional, science-based test, ideally a month or two before planting time, which provides a good window to develop the right plan for your lawn.

• Lime/Gypsum Applications: Lime can improve the pH balance in soil, and gypsum can add nutrients such as calcium and sulfur, the latter of which we have found to be under abundant in Western Michigan soils. After testing your soil, we can determine if your lawn would benefit from lime and/or gypsum, and how much is needed.

• EarthWise Soil Conditioner: This is AAA’s unique blend that delivers a multi-vitamin boost to your lawn. It’s biodegradable, reduces root disease, improves root growth, and means less monthly maintenance as well.
