Grub Control

Grubs are the larval stage of several kinds of beetles. They hatch from eggs laid in the ground early in the summer and live in the soil where they gorge themselves on the roots of plants.

Signs of grubs are wilting plants or sections of turf which can be picked up like a carpet. In some cases, areas of grass will be killed from heavy grub feeding.

Grubs will continue feeding until fall temperatures drive them deep into the soil for the winter. They will resurface and continue feeding in the spring until they emerge from the soil as adult beetles.

There are two ways to deal with a grub problem. One is prevention and the other is curative. If you have a problem with grubs every year, we can proactively apply a preventive early in the season. Otherwise we will wait for signs of activity and treat them at that time. We use the only bee safe on the market.

Tree and Shrub Feeding

In nature's cycle, each year's foliage falls to the ground, decays, and becomes the source of nutrients for the tree. We interrupt this cycle by raking up leaves in the fall. Grass growing under trees also competes for both water and nutrients. In a forest, there are few competing plants that grow in the root zone of the trees.

Late fall and early winter are ideal times to replace the nutrients used by trees during the growing season. Leisure Lawn uses an ultra-slow release fertilizer with micronutrients which lasts a full year. A single feeding once a year is all that is needed!

Perimeter Pest Control

We can help prevent insects and pests from coming into your home with a protective barrier. This will greatly reduce the number of ants, spiders, silverfish, sow bugs, pill bugs, and the like entering your home.

A full year of protection consists of three treatments per year applied between April and September.

Fleas, Ticks and Surface Insects

Fleas lay their eggs inside and outside and they hatch over an extended period of time. Simply treating your pet cannot control fleas because the eggs are everywhere and will hatch and reinfest your pet. The only effective control is to treat your home interior and yard as well as your pet. Check with your veterinarian for effective products that will kill adult fleas as well as developing larvae and eggs.

We can help you with flea and tick treatment in the yard. We can apply a mild dry insecticide to your yard. It will last about six weeks and can be reapplied as needed later in the season. Fleas are active outdoors until there is a hard frost.

Core Aeration

Soils with a high percentage of clay become very hard and compacted. This makes it difficult for water, fertilizer, air, and grassroots to penetrate into the soil, Compaction also contributes to the build-up of thatch. Core aeration (also known as core cultivation, coring or plugging) is a process in which a machine pulls small plugs of soil about the size of your finger from the lawn. These are left on the surface where they will break down in a few weeks. Golf course greenskeepers use this process several times a year to keep their courses in top playing conditions. Lawns grown on clay soils should have this done once a year.
