Lawn Care Add-On Services — Fox Valley
Pest & Insect Control Services
Grub & Insecticide Treatment
Wisconsin's climate creates real grub pressure throughout Outagamie County — and the Fox Valley is no exception. Our preventative grub and insecticide program stops the problem before it starts.

- Full prevention and control over lawn-damaging sod webworms
- Suppression-level control over chinch bugs
- Reduces turf loss and costly lawn repair and reseeding
- Applied at the correct seasonal timing for maximum effectiveness

- Protects lawn uniformity all season long
Mosquito Control Program — 5 Treatments Per Season
Take your yard back.
Our mosquito control program includes:

Lawn Surface & Soil Improvement Services
Healthy turf requires more than fertilizer. Compaction, thatch buildup, and soil structure all play a major role in lawn performance — and Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles put extra stress on Fox Valley lawns every single year.
Lawn Rolling — Commercial Vibrating Asphalt Roller
We use a commercial vibrating asphalt roller, not the lightweight drum or water-filled rollers most companies bring out.
This service:
- Smooths bumpy and uneven lawns
- Reduces bumps caused by ants, roots, and frost heaving — a common problem in Appleton neighborhoods after a hard winter
- Improves mowing quality
- Enhances the overall visual appearance of your lawn
Important: Lawn rolling increases soil compaction, so core aeration is required afterward to relieve soil pressure. We'll always tell you that — because long-term lawn health matters more to us than a quick one-time sale.
Also important: Lawn rolling has limitations. If the imperfection is visible to the naked eye, it's likely too significant for rolling alone — but we have solutions. Call us for an in-person consultation.
Lawn Core Aeration — Appleton WI
One of the most important services for Wisconsin turf health. The clay-heavy soils common throughout Outagamie County, the Fox Valley, and neighborhoods like Erb Park and Morningside make annual aeration especially valuable.
Benefits:
- Relieves soil compaction
- Improves oxygen exchange
- Enhances root development
- Increases fertilizer absorption
- Promotes thicker, denser turf
Recommended annually for best results.
New lawn care clients receive FREE Fall Core Aeration — sign up for at least the "Better" program and prepay for the season.
Lawn Tine Rake Dethatching
Removes excessive thatch buildup that blocks water and nutrients from reaching the soil. A common issue in established Appleton neighborhoods like Prospect Heights and College Avenue where older lawns haven't been maintained at an agronomic level in years.
Benefits:
- Improves soil contact for water, seed, and fertilizer
- Encourages stronger root systems
- Reduces disease pressure
- Removes winter dieback
- Improves overseeding success rates
