Here at Independent Lawn Service™, we provide excellent service throughout every season. Contact us now to schedule winter lawn care or read on below for our top tips.

Understand Your Property’s Current Condition and Grass Roots Health

As much as we can shape and control your landscaping, your yard is a living system that needs monitoring and check-ups. You visit the doctor for a physical exam, even if you feel healthy physically, because your medical records help them understand your history and needs. You take your car in for a routine oil change and tune-up. Similarly, a maintenance inspection before the winter sets in is essential to diagnose any current issues and solve them. The more familiar we are with your property and its situation, to better service we can provide for you. 

Routine maintenance can prevent lawn disease. Our multi-step treatment plan for your lawn including pre-emergent herbicides and weed killer to stop weed seeds from sprouting. We also use slow release fertilizer to keep grass happy and healthy, and we consider the specific type of grass seed and grass plants you've planted.

Address Problems Now for A Healthy Green Lawn in Spring

Don't wait 'til it's too late! Winter in Michigan is not a time to be caught outside. The more work on your property that you can accomplish before the cold sets in, the more successful your yard will be next season when it thaws. Once we have the insights from our maintenance inspection, we can quickly address your problems right away. The sooner we check out your property, the more time we will have to correct the issues in your yard. 

Make sure to get in touch with us as quickly as possible. We get many calls for Pre-Season Inspections and end up having our schedule fill up. Once our list is full, we won’t be able to address the needs of your property adequately — but once you have had our check-up, you will be all set for our snow-removal service.

Set a Winter Lawn Care Plan for Your Snow Removal

Winter lawn issues such as snow mold can cause grass blades to clump together. This soil compaction makes it tough for healthy growing grass to pop through and may leave your lawn with dead bare spots in spring.

Fortunately, one of the components of our Pre-Season Inspection is to prepare for the storms to come. Whether you're calling about a residential or commercial property, you will get a tailored plan based on your unique situation and the layout of your pavement, walkways, and parking lot. We will assess your property’s snow removal needs based on your hours, customer/employee size, and any other relevant circumstances. When the first snowstorm hits, we will be ready to execute our plan to keep you, your employees, and your customers safe no matter the weather.
