"Great Job Guys!!"

A long time customer of Blades of Green Lawn care, Great company very organized and well run. In addition to the great lawn service I have enjoyed over the years, I was contacted by the B.O.G. automated service alerting me of the arrival of the ZIKA mosquitos. I followed their advice and had both of my properties treated! Since the treatment I no longer have to fear getting a little head, or whatever this ZIKA thing causes.

How much does lawn care cost?

When it comes to lawn care, there’s no such thing as “one size fits all,” which is why we created three programs Our lawn care programs include a variety of services ranging from an initial analysis of your property, soil test, multi-treatment fertilization, weed prevention and elimination, grub control, and pH adjustment and more. We have a variety of lawn care programs from which to choose, with some featuring core aeration and overseeding with SeedBOOST starter fertilizer, disease control, and nutsedge control. Also, if you bundle another service with a lawn care program, like tree and shrub care, for instance, you’ll save 15% off that service!

What do lawn care services include?

Each lawn care company offers a different set of services. Our team of Soil Scientists will assist you with selecting the right lawn care treatments, tree & shrub care, bed weed control, mosquito, flea, and tick treatments & mole and vole removal services. They’ll even recommend the best time to aerate and overseed your lawn so you’ll get the most out of investment.

How to get the perfect lawn?

We are here to help you grow a lawn you’ll love (and want to use and show-off!). , But, much like getting the human body into shape, growing a healthy lawn takes time and (lots!) of patience. There are a variety of factors that need to be addressed before achieving the “perfect” lawn. For example, soil pH, foot traffic, lawn disease, bug infestations, mowing and watering practices, animal activity, and more. On average, it can take anywhere from one to three years to get your lawn into shape.

Lawn Aeration in Laurel

If your lawn isn’t looking as healthy as it used to, the issue is likely soil compaction and thatch buildup. These two conditions make it impossible for your grass to receive the water, nutrients, and air circulation it needs. This results in thin, dull turf that can only be reversed with our lawn aeration in Laurel, which also includes a free seeding service to promote new grass growth.

When you trust our lawn aeration service, you’ll see improvements such as:

  • Thicker, fuller grass to fill in thin patches and give you a uniform lawn.
  • Improve soil quality, which makes it easier to grow new grass.
  • Better water absorption to eliminate standing water and soggy spots.
  • Healthier roots, which increase resistance to disease, drought, and insects.

Mosquito Control in Laurel

Mosquitoes are certainly a nuisance when you’re trying to enjoy your backyard, buzzing and biting and causing itchy bites; but they can also be a threat to the health and well-being of your family. Mosquitoes carry a number of harmful pathogens and diseases, like Dengue Fever, Zika Virus, and Eastern Equine Encephalitis.

Our Laurel mosquito control program works to eradicate adult mosquitoes around your home and treat or remove breeding grounds around your property, keeping populations from a resurgence. We’ve designed our treatments to take place over seven months when mosquitoes are at their most active. Our Laurel mosquito exterminators can control populations of mosquitoes all year long.

How to get rid of crabgrass?

The best way to eliminate crab grass in will depend on the size of the area you are trying to treat. For smaller patches of crabgrass, hand-pulling or spot-treating with a selective herbicide may be the best option. For larger areas, you may want to consider using a pre-emergent herbicide, which will prevent crabgrass from germinating in the first place. It’s important to follow the instructions on whatever product you decide to use, as over-application or incorrect application of herbicides will do more harm than good. Additionally, it’s important to keep the area well-watered and mow at the proper height to discourage the growth of crabgrass.
