Tunzi and Sons Landscaping - Crestwood's Experienced Landscapers

Persistent weeds like crabgrass and dandelions often indicate an underlying issue with your lawn's health. At Tunzi and Sons, we focus on a two-part strategy: first, applying targeted pre-emergent and post-emergent treatments to eliminate current growth and prevent new seeds from germinating. More importantly, we strengthen your lawn with core aeration and balanced fertilization. This thickens the turf, creating a dense canopy that naturally crowds out weeds and makes it harder for them to establish. It's a long-term solution tailored for our local soil.

Brown patches can be a sign of grubs, chinch bugs, or other common Midwest pests. Our process starts with a thorough inspection of your lawn, including lifting sections of turf to check for grub larvae. Based on our findings, we'll recommend a precise treatment plan. This may involve a timely insecticide application when pests are most vulnerable. We also promote a healthy lawn ecosystem through proper watering guidance and soil management, as a vigorous lawn is your best defense against future insect damage.

A proactive, seasonal approach is key. In early spring, we apply pre-emergent weed control and a balanced fertilizer to kick-start growth. Late spring/early summer focuses on continued weed control and monitoring for early signs of insects. Summer brings grub prevention treatments if needed, along with proper mowing advice to reduce stress. In the fall, we perform core aeration and overseeding to repair summer damage and apply a winterizing fertilizer to build strong roots. This year-round schedule, customized for our local climate, builds a resilient lawn that naturally resists weeds and pests.
