Affordable and High-Quality Winter Lawn Care Services in Iowa
Our customized and comprehensive Winter Lawn Care program meets all your lawn's winter care needs. The program includes the following chief winter lawn maintenance chores:
- Aeration and Fertilization
Lawns need to be aerated before the first frost. Aerating allows your lawn to breathe before the lawn grass becomes dormant, as well as reduces the compaction created during the warmer months.
After aeration, get your lawn fertilized. Fertilization of your lawn offers the essential nutrients to your grass that it needs to prepare for the winter. The roots of the grass absorb and store the nutrients over the winter months. The grass taps into these stored nutrients during the spring, which gives your lawn a head start and makes it lush and green.
All American Turf Beauty can effectively aerate and fertilize your lawn as part of our Winter Lawn Care services.
In wintertime, weeds take advantage of the weakened state of the lawn to fill the gaps. The germination of winter weeds occurs at lower soil temperatures, and the weeds often appear around Easter/April and May.
For weed control in the winter, herbicides that remove invading weeds, without causing any damage to lawns, are suitable. Chemicals that are suitable for your grass type must always be chosen for weed control.
Our weed control experts can free your lawn from weeds and prevent the germination of new weeds.
- Irrigation System Maintenance
All American Turf Beauty offers reliable lawn Irrigation System Maintenance services. We perform winterization of irrigation systems as part of our Winter Lawn Care services. Winterization involves removing water from the irrigation system and winterizing the components to avoid costly winter damage to the irrigation system.
Our lawn Irrigation System Maintenance services ensure that your irrigation system functions well whenever in use and stays protected during the winter months.
Piling of leaves on the lawn during fall can cause your lawn to suffocate before winter. The leaves lying on the lawn could also become wet and that can lead to disease.
If the leaves are not too wet or thick, they can be mulched into dime-sized pieces using a mower, to recycle nutrients back to the lawn. In case the leaves are too wet, thick, or matted down, they need to be raked up and removed.
Moreover, any debris and lawn furniture should be removed from your lawn. Remove any spare logs beside the fire pit too.
Our lawn care professionals rake and clean up lawns before starting with Winter Lawn Care treatments.
