Q&A
As a Princeton homeowner, how do you handle common local issues like weed infestations and lawn fungus?
We understand these are frequent challenges in our local climate. Our team, including 7 Licensed Lawn Operators, addresses them with targeted ECO-Choice Certified Fertilization treatments and proven cultural practices. For weeds, we use selective control methods that target the problem without harming your lawn. For fungus, our approach focuses on proper diagnosis, improving soil health through core aeration, and applying appropriate disease management products. Our goal is to create a resilient lawn that can better resist these common Princeton-area issues.
My tree seems unhealthy. What kind of certified expertise does Taylor's Way offer for tree care?
Our team includes 8 ISA Certified Arborists, making us the only Bureau County company with this level of certified expertise. We provide a full range of services from diagnosis to treatment. For an unhealthy tree, we begin with a detailed inspection for issues like disease or insect infestation—common services we offer. Based on our findings, which might include tree cabling, pruning, or specific disease and insect management plans, we recommend a course of action. Our arborists, like Vice President Joshua Taylor, have over a decade of experience and stay current on the latest arboricultural practices.
You offer both pest control and lawn care. Can you handle a property with a wasp nest in the garden and also need lawn fertilization?
Absolutely. As a full-service provider since 1966, we frequently coordinate multiple services for our customers. Our certified technicians can safely remove the wasp nest through our bee and wasp control service. For your lawn, our team can then provide our ECO-Choice Certified Fertilization treatment and core aeration to promote healthy growth. We schedule these services efficiently, often in a single visit when possible, to minimize disruption. This integrated approach is a key benefit of choosing a long-established, family-owned company like ours for your property's needs.
