Midsummer is Grub Control Season!

Have you thought about how you’re going to protect your lawn from grubs?

As summer heats up, your lawn becomes especially vulnerable to grub infestations — the C-shaped larvae of beetles that feed on grassroots. Left unchecked, these pests can wreak havoc on your lawn, causing weakened turf, brown patches, and increased vulnerability to drought and disease.

Ever So Green recommends mid-summer grub control, typically in midsummer, as part of our service plans. Combined with fertilization, weed control, and aeration, this enhances curb appeal and strengthens lawn resilience.

How Grubs Harm Your Lawn

Why is grub control so important for your lawn?

Beetles lay eggs in late spring to early summer, and those eggs hatch into grubs in June and July. This is the critical developmental window when grubs are small, just starting to feed, and most vulnerable to control efforts.

Grubs munch on grassroots, which can lead to loose, spongey soil and dead patches as turf loses root support. It can also Attract wildlife digging for larvae (e.g. skunks, raccoons, birds), causing further lawn damage.

Ever So Green treatments strike at the heart of grub activity, preventing root damage that leads to spongy turf and brown spots.

Fertilization in April

Spring is finally here! How can you set up your lawn for year-long success?

The Answer is Fertilization!

A well-fed lawn is better equipped to beat out weeds and resist stress from heat and drought later in the season. Applying a balanced spring fertilizer in April provides nutrients like nitrogen, and potassium, promoting healthy root development and vibrant green growth.

Additional April Lawn Care Tips

• Mowing: Begin regular mowing as soon as your grass starts growing actively. Keep mower blades sharp and cut no more than one-third of the grass height at a time.
• Aeration: If your lawn has compacted soil, early spring aeration can improve water and nutrient absorption.
• Overseeding: If you have thin or bare patches, April is a good time to overseed and encourage thick turf coverage before summer stress sets in.

Crabgrass Control in April

Did you know that both crabgrass and broadleaf weeds show up in April?

As spring arrives in full force, April is an important month for setting up a lush, green lawn that will last throughout the year. With warming temperatures and increased sunlight, grass begins its rapid growth phase—but so do crabgrass and broadleaf weeds. This is the time to take action with crabgrass control, broadleaf weed management, and fertilization.

Crabgrass Control

Crabgrass is one of the most troublesome weeds in lawns, thriving in thin, weak turf areas. April is the ideal time to apply a pre-emergent herbicide. Pre-emergent products create a barrier that prevents crabgrass seeds from germinating. Watering in the product after application helps activate it and enhances its weed-blocking power.

Steps to Protect Your Lawn from Rock Salt

Have you thought about how rock salt can affect your lawn?

Unfortunately, rock salt has one big disadvantage: it can seriously damage your lawn, especially after repeated use in the winter. When rock salt sits on your lawn, it draws moisture out of the grass and soil. If it stays there long enough, it can actually upset the chemistry of the soil. 

Here are three simple ways you can protect your lawn:

1. Only spread rock salt on paved areas (and be careful when you throw salt using a spreader).
2. Use a short silt fence guard around your grass to keep salt and melted runoff from spilling into your lawn.
3. Use de-icing alternatives, such as sand or calcium magnesium acetate (CMA).

Rock Salt for Michigan Winters

Do you use rock salt to de-ice your sidewalk or road?

Even if you live in Michigan, you may not know that the city of Detroit sits on a rock salt mine. The mine was discovered in 1895 and spreads out over more than 1,500 acres. Easy access to rock salt makes it the primary de-icer used by Michigan cities, homeowners, and businessowners. 

Slipping on the sidewalk can lead to serious injuries, and your driveway can be treacherous after a heavy snowfall. This is where rock salt and chemical de-icers come in handy by adding traction.

Unfortunately, rock salt can also damage your lawn. Read more in our latest article.

Do You Have a Winter Lawn Care Plan?

Like many of us in the Midwest, you’ve switched out the lawn mower for a snow shovel.

While your lawn may not require as much care in the winter as it does during the other seasons of the year, did you know there are some steps you can take to make sure your lawn is in good shape come springtime?

Lawn winterization is a really important part of lawn care, especially for cool season grasses. A traditional lawn winterization fertilizer applied in late fall helps your lawn take on large amounts of nutrients that it needs to overcome summer stress and get through the winter.

Winter Lawn Care in Livingston County

Do you have a year-round lawn care plan?

With how cold and dreary Michigan winters can be, it’s not surprising if it’s the last thing on your mind as fall winds to an end and winter begins.

There are some merits to having a full 12-month lawn care schedule, though, especially if you hire a professional or commercial lawn care company to work with you on fertilization and weed control.

Keep Your Lawn Green During a Drought

Is your lawn looking a little crispy after weeks of 90-degree temperatures and very little rain?

Across Michigan, the lack of significant rainfall has resulted in turfgrass stress, or dry lawns that are turning brown. 

According to the Michigan State University Department of Plant, Soil, and Microbial Sciences, “the vast majority of lawns in Michigan are primarily composed of Kentucky bluegrass.” Typically, this type of lawn doesn’t die unless it lacks water for six to eight weeks in combination with high temperatures. 

1) Don’t worry as much about controlling weeds. Just like the grass, many weeds are slowing down their growth and trying to control them now would be difficult.

2) During hot weather, heat tracks are common, caused from mowers and spreaders. Avoid mowing during the heat of the afternoon to prevent tracks.

Lawn Fertilization Tips for Winter

Did you know that lawn care doesn’t stop when the snow starts to fall?

Are you worried your grass is taking a beating during winter?

Like many of us in the Midwest, you’ve switched out the lawn mower for a snow shovel.

While your lawn may not require as much care in the winter as it does during the other seasons of the year, did you know there are some steps you can take to make sure your lawn is in good shape come springtime?

1) Aerate & fertilize – In the fall, have your lawn aerated. Aerating your lawn will give it a chance to breathe before the grass goes dormant. After you’ve aerated, fertilize to give your lawn the nutrients it needs to prepare for winter.

2) Keep the lawn clean – If leaves have piled up during fall, there’s a chance the lawn could suffocate before winter. Leaves that are left behind could also invite disease if they’re too wet.
