Fertilization

 Lawns in Shorewood, IL are typically made up of cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass and turf-type tall fescue, which perform best with consistent care and properly timed nutrient applications. Pro Turf & Pro Pest Solutions uses a multi-step fertilization program with 5–8 treatments spaced throughout the season, helping encourage deeper root growth, improved density, and long-lasting color. This approach helps lawns stay strong through Shorewood’s seasonal shifts—from damp spring conditions to the heat and humidity of summer.

Weed Control

In Shorewood, weeds can start to spread quickly as temperatures rise, especially in lawns that are thin or under stress. Crabgrass and other aggressive weeds can take advantage of these conditions if not treated early. Pro Turf & Pro Pest Solutions uses a proactive weed control approach that combines early-season prevention with targeted treatments throughout the year to keep weeds under control and promote a thicker, healthier lawn.

Aeration and Overseeding

For Shorewood lawns that are starting to thin out, core aeration and overseeding provide a strong reset by loosening compacted soil and adding new seed to sparse or patchy areas. This process improves the movement of air, water, and nutrients through the soil, helping cool-season grasses develop deeper roots and fill in more evenly during the key fall and spring growing seasons.
