What to know about hiring a Elm Grove pro

Northern lawns face white grubs in mid-summer (a mid-July preventative is standard) and snow mold in late winter where snow piles linger. Brown patch fungus appears during humid July-August heat spells. Many states including Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan restrict phosphorus in non-establishment fertilizer to protect waterways. Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue dominate the region because they tolerate cold winters and recover well in the cool spring and fall growing windows.

When evaluating Ground Affects Landscaping Inc. or any other lawn care provider in Elm Grove, ask how they handle the local timing windows above — a pro who can explain their pre-emergent schedule and seasonal approach is one who knows the WI climate.
