First Day of Spring!

Today is officially the first day of spring 2014.  Every year this day brings unique conditions to the Midwest.   In recent years we have experienced anything from 80 degree sunny days to below freezing temperatures and winter storms and everything in between.  So, I guess it is normal that this year falls in between there somewhere.  However, this is not quite the hopeful first day of spring we have all been hoping for after this past harsh and everlasting winter.  This year spring is revealing damaged turf from a severely harsh winter and more than 90 days of snow cover on most turf areas around the area.  As the snow is melting away it revealing damaged turf below.   We are seeing turf that is severely damaged from snow molds, voles, and compaction due to the heavy blanket of wet snows.  The following services from Lawn Doctor of Antioch-Gurnee-Waukegan-Lake Forest will greatly help the lawns recover from the extensive winter damage.

Our Premium lawn care program provides an early application of granular fertilizer with an organic compost base that will help the lawn escape the dangers of winter damage.

We also provide an organic compost application in our organic soil enrichment program.

A spring aeration will be necessary this spring to get oxygen back into the root zone and allow roots to begin growing and developing leaf tissue to absorb newly found sunlight.

Finally, our Spring Kick-Start Service will combine the benefits of a spring power rake, aeration and organic compost application to get much needed organic nutrients available to the plant along with fertilizer to stimulate growth.

Theses services are currently being scheduled by the sales and service professionals in our local office on Deep Lake Road.  Please contact us today to find out more about how we can help your lawn recover from the extended winter damage.
