Optional Programs

Elliott’s Lawn Care offers the following optional services to enhance the beauty and health of your lawn:

  • Turf core aeration: This service helps control thatch, improves soil structure, root expansion and water/nutrient absorption. We can also integrate turf aero-seeding and/or turf slit-seeding to this service.
  • Perimeter pest control (foundation perimeter insect spray): This is a structural barrier treatment to help protect your home against insect pest invasion. We recommend a minimum of three applications per year. 
  • Grub preventative: Merit grub preventative works! When properly watered into the soil, grub preventative dramatically reduces turf root damage caused by the feeding of the white larval (grub) stage of several common beetles like Japanese Beetles, European Masked Chafer Beetles, Northern Masked Chafer Beetles and others.  By reducing grub activity, Grub Preventative can also reduce the serious damage that can be caused by the digging of skunks, raccoons, opossums and other animals searching for tasty things to eat.  Grub Preventative is relatively inexpensive insurance when compared to lawn renovation. 
  • Mosquito flea and tick reduction application: For 2022 we are offering mosquito flea and tick (MFT) applications. This service is typically applied along with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th fertilizer applications. We started MFT spray treatments in 2020 with good results.
