More Than a Mow: What Full-Service Lawn Care Means In Traverse City

We have all seen it. A lawn that gets mowed every single week but still looks thin, brown, or riddled with weeds. It is a common frustration for homeowners in Northern Michigan. You are putting in the effort (or, paying someone else to), yet the results just aren’t there.

The truth is that mowing is only one piece of the puzzle. While our partners at TruNorth Landscaping handle the precision cutting and edging that keeps your property looking sharp, the Green Team focuses on what is happening beneath the surface.

Here is what it really means to move beyond just a weekly mow and invest in a full-service approach for your lawn.

The Foundation of a Healthy Lawn

Think of mowing like a haircut. It makes things look tidy, but it doesn’t fix underlying health issues. A truly beautiful lawn in Grand Traverse or Leelanau County requires a consistent schedule of specialized care.

Our full-service approach includes:

  • Precision Fertilization: We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all spray. We time our fertilization applications to provide essential nutrients exactly when your grass needs them most. Whether you choose our traditional or organic programs, we ensure your lawn has the fuel it needs to stay green and lush through the changing seasons.
  • Proactive Weed & Grub Control: Instead of waiting for problems to appear, we use pre-emergent treatments to stop weeds and pests before they take over.
  • Aeration & Seeding: These are the underdogs of lawn care. Aeration pulls small plugs of soil to let oxygen and nutrients reach the roots, while overseeding helps fill in thin spots.
  • Hydretain Application: Because of our sandy Northern Michigan soil, staying hydrated is a challenge for any lawn. Hydretain is a biodegradable treatment that captures moisture that would otherwise be lost to evaporation, protecting your grass during dry spells.

Protecting your Lawn from Pests

A full-service team also looks at the safety and comfort of your outdoor space. Our pest control services are designed to defeat the invaders that keep you trapped indoors.

Whether you choose our traditional perimeter spray that protects against 25 different pests or our organic cedarwood oil for mosquitoes and ticks, we ensure your yard is a place you can actually enjoy. Our organic options are non-toxic, meaning you and your pets can get back to playing on the lawn immediately after we finish. We do not just treat the grass; we treat the perimeter of your home to create a shield against ants, spiders, and ticks.
