Lawn Boys, Inc. - Lawn Maintenance

Lawn Boys Inc. offers full service lawn maintenance which includes mowing, trimming, edging of sidewalks and/or patios, and blowing of driveways and/or patios. Quality of cut is what separates us from the rest. All blades are sharpened every night to insure a sharp cut, and only the best equipment is used on each property we take care of. We like to think that you can drive by a lawn being cared for by us and see the difference.

Lawn Maintenance Services

Fertilization
Our 5-step lawn program was developed for lawns in the Michigan area. Not all lawns are created equal, so we carry different formulations of fertilizer and adjust the materials and their rates as we go. Dry granular fertilizer with slow release nitrogen for proper root development is complemented by liquid weed control applications to maintain texture and color. Your program includes controls for pests that can damage your lawn. This includes broadleaf weed controls, crab grass and surface insect control. All these treatments are applied safely and correctly by a licensed professional. We combine the newest technology with the personal service for lawn care that sets the standard for the rest of the industry.

Grub Proofing
This treatment is a blanket preventive control called Merit. This material must be applied in the months of May-June. The material is absorbed through the plants root system and becomes part of the plant itself. This process takes several months to take place, once the grubs come in the fall the plants are protected from damage. This treatment is an additional charge from the regular 5-step program.

Core Aeration(Spring-Fall)
A mechanical aerator will go over your lawn pulling thousands of soil cores and spreading them on the surface. Aeration will allow water, air and fertilizer to reach the grass roots and soil level. It will also reduce thatch build up and keep the soil from compacting. This treatment is an additional charge from the regular 5-step program.

Over Seeding (Fall)
This is done with core aeration. A custom seed blend is applied to the lawn after aeration. The seeds fall into the thousands of holes creating a good seed-soil contact. This is only done in fall. This treatment is an additional charge from the regular 5-step program.

2nd Crabgrass Control
This 2nd treatment is a post control product, and will knock down any crabgrass plants that make it through the barrier. This product is very expensive and selective (only controls crabgrass) so there is an additional charge from the regular 5-step program.

Preventive Fungicide
Diseases have plagued some lawns in the past few years. In most cases red thread has been the worst. If your lawn has been struggling with disease problems a preventive control maybe in order.
