A beautiful, green lawn is easy to achieve with residential lawn care from Lawn Doctor of Villa Park-Elmhurst-Oak Brook. However, as we’re caring for your turf, there might be services or terms we use that you’re not familiar with. To help make your experience with us as clear-cut as possible, here’s a look at a few of them and what they mean for your lawn.

  • Core Aeration. This is a process by which we break up soil compaction using a machine to cut out small soil plugs from across your lawn. As a result, more air can flow to the roots, as can water and nutrients.
  • Power Seeding. Using this technique to seed your lawn, we slice into the soil, without damaging your existing grass, then seed your lawn, producing better seed-to-soil contact and germination rates around 90%.
  • pH. The pH level of your soil is the measure of acidity and alkalinity and dictates whether or not grass roots can take in nutrients. If the soil pH is out of balance, we’ll test it and then amend it with the right elements.
  • Integrated Pest Management. As a part of our natural residential lawn care services in the Villa Park area, IPM uses a combination of common-sense techniques and organic products to control pests naturally.
  • Pre-emergent Weed Control. We focus on young weed seeds still in the soil, inhibiting their growth with pre-emergent weed control. It stops them from emerging and spreading into your lawn.
  • Perimeter Pests. Pests living around your home, like spiders and ticks, can get into it through cracks and crevices in entryways and the foundation. We can treat the base of your home, forming a barrier to block them.
  • Micronutrients. These are minerals that are critical – in small, trace amounts – for growth and development of healthy plants.
  • Macronutrients. These are nutrients, like nitrogen, that are vital for the health of your lawn, but in larger amounts.
