What's different about lawns in Lafayette?
Lafayette is home for us. The city sits on the southeast bank of the Wabash River, across from West Lafayette, and it's the Tippecanoe County seat. Our shop is just east of town at 8823 E 100 N, so a Lafayette lawn is never far from our crew.
A Lafayette lawn might be a small lot under mature shade trees or a newer yard with thin, compacted soil, and each needs a different plan. Most start with the same backbone: pre-emergent in early spring and again in fall, feeding every 4 to 6 weeks from March through November, and core aeration with overseeding between August 15 and the end of September.

What lawn services do we offer in Lafayette?
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.

What do our customers say?
★★★★★
“I cannot recommend Shades of Green enough! This is my first year using them, and I could not be more pleased with the results after just two treatments. Cory has been diligent in killing off the weeds that had grown over the last few years, and the yard is a beautiful green color with a lot of fullness. Something I have wanted for several years without luck with other companies. Shades of Green takes a lot of pride in its work! If you want a company that cares as much about your lawn as you do, give them a call. You will not be disappointed.”
