What's different about lawns in Dayton?
Dayton is a small town in Sheffield Township, Tippecanoe County, southeast of Lafayette. It's one of the closest towns to our shop, about 7 miles and 20 minutes away, and its older center is on the National Register as the Dayton Historic District.
Most Dayton lawns follow the same yearly program: pre-emergent in early spring and again in fall, feeding every 4 to 6 weeks from March through November, fall core aeration on the Preferred package, and aeration plus overseeding on Premium. The lawn care schedule below walks through the whole year.

What lawn services do we offer in Dayton?
Fertilization and weed control
Custom-blended fertilizer for high-pH Indiana soil, a two-part crabgrass program, and broadleaf treatments for dandelions, clover and thistle. Every 4 to 6 weeks, March through November.
Aeration and overseeding
Fall core aeration opens up compacted soil, and we seed right into the holes with a tall fescue blend built for Indiana. Between August 15 and the end of September only.
Grub, insect and disease protection
One late-spring application stops grubs, billbugs, chinch bugs and armyworms through fall. Technicians also watch for brown patch, dollar spot and red thread on every visit.
Outdoor pest control
Mosquito, flea and tick treatments for the yard, and a perimeter barrier for the house. Five visits a season from mid-April.
Sprinkler and irrigation service
Sprinkler system startup, audits, backflow testing and winterization in three yearly packages, plus repairs when something breaks.
