Fertilization
Proper nutrition provides the foundation for healthy grass. Our lawn fertilization program delivers carefully timed nutrients throughout the growing season to promote stronger roots, better color, and dense turf.
Our lawn maintenance program includes:
- Pre-emergent applications in spring to help prevent crabgrass
- Ongoing weed control throughout the growing season
- Two surface insect control applications annually at no additional cost
Rather than relying on a one-time treatment, our structured approach gives your lawn consistent support as its needs change throughout the year.
Lawn Aeration
Compacted soil makes it harder for water, oxygen, and nutrients to reach your lawn’s roots. This can contribute to thin grass, poor growth, and other turf problems even when you’re keeping up with regular lawn maintenance.
Our core aeration service mechanically removes small plugs of soil from the turf, opening pathways into the root zone. Lawn aeration helps relieve compaction, improve nutrient and water absorption, and encourage stronger root development. It can also prepare your lawn for overseeding, helping new grass establish and creating thicker turf.
Grub & Insect Control
Some of the most serious lawn damage can begin where you can’t see it. Grubs feed on grass roots beneath the soil, potentially weakening your turf and leaving behind thinning or damaged areas.
Lawn Pride offers targeted pest solutions to help protect your Fortville property, including:
- Perimeter Pest Control – Treatment is applied 3 ft up and 3 ft out from your home's foundation to help prevent insects from entering.
- Mole Control – Helps minimize damage caused by mole tunneling.
- Vole Control – Targets voles before they damage turf and landscape plants.
Preventative treatments help keep your property protected throughout the growing season.
Tree & Shrub Care
Your grass isn’t the only part of your landscape that needs attention. Our Tree & Shrub Program provides seasonal care for ornamental plants, helping protect them from insects, diseases, and environmental stress.
Our program includes:
- Spring Dormant Oil – Protects trees and shrubs from overwintering insects.
- Spring Fertilization – Deep root fertilization to support healthy seasonal growth.
- Insect & Disease Control – Three treatments annually to guard against pests and disease.
- Fall Fertilization – Strengthens trees and shrubs before winter weather.
- Fall Dormant Oil – Adds seasonal protection against insects and pests.
