Even though we separate our indoor life from the outside by constructing houses, our home extends from inside our walls to the lawn; the two interrelate. While lawn care creates beautiful areas, it’s also important for managing insects and critters that we don’t want to encounter whether we’re inside or out. Slug-A-Bug can help with each stage of lawn care with service every two months to maintain ideal conditions for the kind of life you want to thrive (healthy, thick grass) and the kind you’d like to keep out (weeds, insects).

The first step to solid and sensitive lawn care is understanding your lawn’s environment and its needs. Slug-A-Bug can help assess, inform, and cater to what’s necessary for your particular patch of earth to flourish. Our interest in sustainability and low-impact practices also means we like to know how elements work together. Every piece matters and relates to other. Important information includes:

  • What kind of soil is in your yard, as this partially determines what can grow or what additional components are needed for flowers or a garden.
  • What sorts of natural flora and fauna already exist in or near your lawn.
  • What kinds of wildlife might be attracted to your lawn (and perhaps your house from there) and how to strike a balance between healthy elements of the ecosystem and those you wish to keep out.
  • How soil holds rainwater, and what kind of irrigation methods are possible.
  • Which kinds of mowers and weed eaters best suit the terrain .
  • When and how to fertilize your yard.
  • How to grow grass in shady areas.
  • Identifying and getting rid of weeds.

Slug-A-Bug can help with all of the above. Wondering why our lawn care services are some of the best you can find? Our depth of knowledge is second to none. For example, did you know that each individual blade of grass uses the energy it gets from sunlight and gives nutrients to the soil? Thus, when the lawn is mowed, a balance should be struck between letting the blades be tall enough to absorb enough sunlight whilst short enough to maintain keep insects at bay.

Not convinced? We also understand weed control like no one else. To really keep weeds down, it’s best to pull them before their roots take hold, which takes attentiveness several times a week. We can handle those pesky weeds at every visit.

When should you water? If you water grass seedlings or other elements in your yard, it’s best to do so early in the morning. That way, the moisture can stay and be absorbed before the day’s sun has a chance to evaporate it away. We can help set up an irrigation schedule that truly works for your grass.

We approach lawn care, just as we do our pest control services, from a sustainability mindset; ask us about our way of going about things as we welcome your involvement and cooperation!
