Vlietstra Fertilizing Service | Trusted Landscaping Services in Kalamazoo, MI

Our core program is designed for the local climate and focuses on building a thick, healthy turf that naturally resists problems. It includes scheduled applications of fertilizer to nourish your grass, along with pre-emergent and post-emergent treatments to prevent and control crabgrass and broadleaf weeds. This foundational care, established over our decades of service, strengthens your lawn's root system to better handle seasonal stress common in Michigan.

Yes, we address these common Kalamazoo landscaping issues indirectly through core aeration and slit-seeding. Poor drainage is often caused by compacted soil. Our aeration service perforates the ground, allowing water and nutrients to penetrate deeper, which improves runoff and reduces pooling. For shifting rock gardens or thin areas, our slit-seeder can introduce new grass directly into the soil, helping to stabilize the ground and prevent erosion and displacement of landscape features.

Mole control is a specialized part of our pest management services. We first identify active tunnels and feeding areas in your lawn. Our certified technicians then use targeted, professional-grade methods to eliminate the mole activity. This service is often paired with our grub control treatments, as grubs are a primary food source for moles. Addressing the grub population can be a key part of a long-term strategy to keep moles from returning to your Kalamazoo property.
