Special Services
In addition to our trusted programs for lawn and landscape care, TruGreen of Jackson offers several beneficial services tailored to your lawn's individual needs.
Core Aeration
To maintain a healthy lawn following summer's heat and heavy traffic, your soil needs water, air and nutrients. Compacted lawns have no space to hold these
components, and root growth is stunted, causing dead spots, patches and thinning
Core aeration—or the removal of plugs of soil from the lawn—increases penetration of water, air and nutrients, loosens the soil to encourage root growth, and releases
fungi and bacteria which help degrade thatch.
Overseeding
Intended primarily for Fescue lawns or shady areas where Fescue has been seeded, overseeding follows core aeration to help promote turf density. Our experts
recommend this service as an annual maintenance practice. It's one of the best ways to maintain a rich, healthy soil base, and helps to ensure maximum effectiveness
of your regular lawn care applications.
Flea and Tick Control
As you probably know all too well, summer is peak season for annoying fleas and ticks. If there's an infestation in your lawn, your family pets may be at risk of itchy
bites or even disease. And oftentimes, they act as unknowing carriers, bringing outside pests inside your home.
TruGreen of Jackson will apply an initial treatment to your lawn to reduce active fleas and ticks. Then we'll apply two additional treatments for lasting control as
eggs continue to hatch. These applications will help ensure that you get the benefits of a beautiful lawn without the bite of fleas and ticks.
Fungus Control
Fungicide is applied when your lawn or landscape is suffering from one of the several fungi that thrive in this area, such as Spring Dead Spot. Circular areas of dead or
stressed turf may be evidence that this fungus is present.
White Grub Control
Adult beetles lay eggs in your lawn that hatch into larvae called grubs. Grubs burrow into the soil to feed on grass roots. If feeding is severe, grubs can kill large areas
of lawns. Grubs are also a primary food source for moles.
The grub treatment is preventative and must be applied during the early stages of the larvae growth to prevent an infestation. Grubs are controlled most effectively
in mid-summer to early fall when they have recently hatched and are feeding closer to the surface. Your Lawn Care Specialist will determine the best time to treat your lawn.
