Lawn Care
Lawn Crocs offers a comprehensive 7-step program for the care and upkeep of your lawn. It combines the right nutrients, weed control, and nitrogen in the right amount at the appropriate times. Our Fescue and Bermuda grasses grow fast and tend to use all the nutrients and micronutrients from their soil at a rapid rate. Supplements are required to maintain your soil's nutrient level and ensure optimal growth. Lawn Crocs fertilization program includes multiple scheduled visits throughout the growing season.

Tree and Shrub Program
Like grass, trees and shrubs need food. Because most are planted in poor soil conditions, the lawn uses up most of the nutrients applied on the surface. This leaves little food for your trees and shrubs. Lawn Croc's six-step Tree and Shrub Care Program includes a system of deep root injections that will put vital nutrients and biostimulants directly into the root system. Our special blend of organic nutrients will give your plants a defense against insects and disease. To coincide with our high-quality applications, our technicians will monitor your trees and shrubs for early indications of disease. If a disease is spotted, we will implement a disease control program specific to the plant that is affected.
How Tree and Shrub Care Can Be Utilized
Caring for your tree and shrubs can prevent things like disease control, which is tough to catch before it's too late, and insect control so that your trees and shrubs are able to absorb nutrients.

Lawn Disease Control
One of the best ways to prevent lawn disease is to have a healthy lawn. Fertilization, weed control, and insect prevention all help to strengthen the immunity of a yard. Just like you take vitamins and eat well to maintain your health, your lawn needs the same. This is why we highly recommend utilizing our lawn fertilization program for the best results. Even so, the disease can occur due to uncontrollable circumstances such as weather elements, high traffic, and use of your lawn. Call Lawn Crocs if you suspect lawn disease or if you just want to take the appropriate measures to prevent it.
Aeration
Lawn aeration is an important part of maintaining a healthy lawn. Your lawn needs constant oxygen, carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to survive. Over time, heavy foot traffic, drought, insects, and weeds can compact your soil, causing massive layers of thatch build-up that rob your grass of receiving these much-needed elements. If the grass is deprived of what it needs to survive, it will eventually die. Aeration is the process of removing small plugs of soil and grass to help the water, oxygen, and sunlight reach your grass's root system. It is typically done in the fall, followed by overseeding.
Overseeding
Overseeding is one of the most important lawn care tasks. Like all living things, grass ages. After five or six years, grass plants will slow down their reproduction rates. Thin, unhealthy grass invites weeds and lawn disease. Overseeding is the process of planting new grass with the existing grass to fill in thin patches and boost your lawn's resistance to pests, diseases, and even drought.
Fire Ant Control
Fire ants are some of North Carolina's worst lawn pests. They bite, cause lawn damage, and can create large unsightly mounds. Our Fire Ant Control application kills and prevents fire ants all season long. Find out how to prevent fire ants today by calling Lawn Crocs.
Grub Control
In the United States, lawn grubs may be the most damaging turf pest. Grub worms are the larvae stage for many different beetles, including the most common, the Japanese beetle. Grubs feed on the root system of your turf. In large numbers, grubs can cause patches of brown, thinning lawn and damage to the grass. The actual turf damage is caused by moisture loss from the reduction of the root mass. We can help. Call Lawn Crocs today and rid yourself of this troublesome lawn pest.
Flea and Tick Control
Fleas and Ticks are some of the earth's nastiest insects. They are parasites that live off the blood of mammals, often terrorizing your beloved dogs and cats. At Lawn Crocs, we spray an application over your lawn that kills and prevents fleas and ticks. As a bonus, this application also helps to control mosquitoes.
Lime Application
Is your grass turning yellow? Is lawn moss growing on top of your grass? When your lawn has slipped out of the appropriate pH zone that keeps your grass strong and healthy, you may need to neutralize the acidic soil with a lime application. Lime will restore balance and bring your pH level back to optimal growing levels.
