Austin Lawn Care & Maintenance Service

Fertilization:

• Our naturally derived fertilizers provide a quick-green up to your grass.

Insect Control:

• Inspection – Our trained specialists will inspect customers' lawn for damaging insects on every fertilization visit.
• Identify the type of insect causing damage and determine an appropriate treatment. ABC will apply insecticides on a curative basis ONLY. ABC believes that applying insecticides on a preventive basis is not in the best interest of our customers nor the environment.

Weed Control:

• ABC believes that the best defense against weeds is a healthy, dense turfgrass, which is the objective behind our fertilization program.
• If necessary, ABC will apply a post-emergent herbicide on an as-needed basis.

Disease Control:

• Inspection – Our trained specialists will inspect our customers' lawn for turfgrass diseases on every fertilization visit. Common turf diseases are:
  • Brown patch: a fungus that is mainly an aesthetic problem.
    • It affects primarily the leaves of St. Augustine grass but doesn't kill the turfgrass itself.
    • ABC can apply a fungicide to the affected areas for brown patch control. The fungicide must be applied in two applications spaced 30-45 days apart during the fall season.
  • Gray leaf spot on St. Augustine grass or Bermuda grass leaf spot.These diseases are uncommon and do not require preventative control.
• Should our specialists notice a disease on the lawn, then diagnosis and treatment options will be brought to the attention of the customer.
