DLC Lawn & Landscape | Licensed Landscaping Services in Terre Haute, IN

Regular aeration, a core part of our lawn care program, is key. It physically relieves compaction by pulling small plugs of soil, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots. This promotes deeper root growth, leading to a thicker, more resilient lawn that can better withstand drought and stress, which are common after our Indiana winters and summers.

A proactive approach is essential. Our service includes applying a pre-emergent weed barrier specifically formulated for mulch beds before weeds germinate. We also recommend maintaining a proper mulch depth (2-3 inches) to suppress weeds and retain moisture. For existing weeds, we use targeted spot treatments to eliminate them without harming your desired plants.

Early spring is ideal. Starting a consistent care schedule in early spring allows us to apply pre-emergent weed control, provide the first round of fertilization to kickstart growth after winter, and assess any damage from the season. This timing sets your lawn up for success, helping it outcompete weeds and thrive throughout the growing season.
