Little Rock Lawn Service – Grub Control
Stop Grubs before there is a problem!
Arkansas lawn grubs can destroy a lawn within a short amount of time. We won’t let that happen.
More about Arkansas Lawn Grubs
The symptoms are brown patches, irregular in shape, in late spring or early fall. Dead patches roll back easily, like a section of carpet. Birds, moles, raccoons, and skunks may damage a lawn looking for grubs.
Description
Grubs are the larvae of many kinds of beetles. They are whitish or grayish in color with brown heads and dark hind parts. They have three pair of legs, which distinguishes them from the legless billbug grubs.
Control
If your Arkansas lawn is already infested with grubs, keep in mind that they are insulated by a layer of grass leaves, thatch, and soil. We apply this control by spreading a granular treatment as needed. Applications need to reach below the soil surface and watered in to be effective.
Lawn Care AR – Fire Ant Treatment
Although the fire ant is not a native species of North America, it has found the climate of the American South especially hospitable. Fire ants have also been found as far west as California and as far north as Maryland.
Fire ants prefer areas that are sunny and warm and landscape should be dry and flat. Fire ants often build mounds made of soil. The mounds are built on top of a network of tunnels that can go down as far as the water table. Tunnels also extend out for several feet and enable the workers to forage unseen. Mounds can be two feet in circumference and 18 inches high, though larger mounds have been documented. These mounds prove inconvenient within an agricultural setting, and there are reports of mounds damaging agricultural equipment. Because they have no natural predators in the United States, the fire ant’s only enemy appears to be humans.
GrassRoots LawnCare pest control professionals are specifically trained to address infestations and administer the most effective treatments of fire ant infestations. Such treatments include a granular bait application covering the lawn and landscape areas.
Conway AR Lawn Care – Lawn Aeration
Most people are not aware of the benefits of aeration, yet it is one of the most important treatments for a healthy lawn. Aeration helps reduce compaction and keeps your soil in the best shape possible, by allowing water, nutrients and air to reach the root system.
Even with the best Arkansas lawn care available, lawns can thin out and lose color due to excessive thatch buildup, hard or compacted soils, or periods of high temperature, high humidity, or drought. Aerating and over seeding is recognized by turf experts such as golf course superintendents as the best treatment to control thatch, reduce compaction, fill-in bare spots and revitalize growth.
Core aeration is a great way to keep your lawn happy, and improve the soil it grows in. For thin lawns or problem lawns, it is best to over-seed the lawn after aerating.
Newly aerated lawns provide an ideal environment for growing new grass seed. This will help fill in those bare or thin spots, giving you a thicker, healthier turfgrass that will crowd out weeds and help prevent new weeds from developing.
Little Rock Lawn Care – Aeration Services for a Healthier Lawn
While aeration is beneficial for many lawns, it isn’t appropriate for every situation. Here are some guidelines to determine if your lawn needs to be aerated:
- When the soil is compacted
- When the thatch layer is more than 1″ thick
- If you’re going to over seed your lawn. Aeration exposes soil and provides better seed-to-soil contact needed for good seed establishment.
If you think your lawn may not be ideal, it may be because the soil is compacted or has excess thatch buildup. Give us a call and we can give you a free estimate on aerating your lawn that will improve these troubling conditions.
Liquid Aeration
We’ve all known for years that aeration is beneficial to lawns of all grass types. But not many people aerate their lawns, because it’s a difficult, lengthy process that involves renting an aerating machine and results in something of a mess on your lawn. Now, we’ve found a natural, liquid aeration product that has been used on golf courses and sports fields, but is now available to us. One easy spray-on application is all it will take to help your lawn be healthier and stay greener. It could even reduce your watering time and save on your water bill!
What is Liquid Aeration?
For years, golf courses, sports fields, and lawn care professionals have understood the benefits of aerating turfgrass. They have invested money in aerating machines and the employees to run them. Now, there is a product that works better than aerating machines and can be applied as a simple liquid spray application.
Liquid Aeration is an environmentally-friendly liquid polymer with a strong negative charge that forces itself down into the soil, expanding and uncoiling, aerating your lawn and removing sodium from the soil. Because of its positive charge (and clay’s negative charge) sodium can contribute greatly to soil compaction and can also prevent your grass from using the nutrients in the soil.
The result is a well-aerated lawn that uses water and fertilizer much more efficiently, giving you a greener, lusher lawn with a stronger, deeper root system. Try our Liquid Aeration and see the difference.
Benefits of Liquid Aeration:
We recommend natural, Liquid Aeration because it offers complete coverage, unlike an aeration machine. Mechanical aeration affects 3-5% of your lawn, and basically leaves a mess. Liquid Aeration covers 100% of your lawn, leaves no soil plugs lying around, and has other qualities that you will never get from mechanical aeration.
Your Lawn Will Be Greener
Liquid Aeration removes sodium from the soil so that your fertilizer and other nutrients in the soil work better.
Make Better Use of Your Watering
Save time and money by getting the most out of your watering. Liquid Aeration lets water penetrate the soil more easily and reduces standing water and runoff.
Reduces Compaction
Liquid Aeration aerates and loosens the soil so that your grass’ roots can grow deeper and stronger.
Your Lawn Looks Better Even During Drought Conditions
A lawn that received a Liquid Aeration application in the spring will hold up better in drought conditions, due to increased use of the water and a deeper, healthier root system.
How much is an application of Liquid Aeration?
The price of a Liquid Aeration application is the same price as your regular scheduled lawn application which is a bargain considering the cost of renting a machine and the fact that you get much more benefit than you would get using a machine.
Organic Programs Available
Benefits of Arkansas Organic Lawn Care
Stronger turf means less watering
Water retention is better in a soil with a decent amount of organic matter and pore space.
Mow less, pollute less
Grass plants need a lot of leaf surface to perform photosynthesis and manufacture food to store in the roots. A lawn at 3 to 4 inches grows roots and is happy and healthy.
More grass, fewer weeds
Most weeds enjoy compacted soil with poor biological diversity. A healthy soil favors the cool season grasses over the weeds.
Have fun with your lawn
Everyone should be able to chew on a blade of grass without worrying. Make noise with a blade of grass between your thumbs. Roll around on it or have a picnic. Feel good about your lawn and enjoy it!
Tougher, healthier trees and shrubs
Healthy soil benefits all life living on and in it, including us. There is more beneficial biology and fewer pathogens, more air, less compaction and more organic matter and plant available nutrients. Flowers and shrubs have brighter colors, more bud development and healthier foliage.
