At Arkansas Turf Management, we believe a beautiful lawn requires a strategic-holistic approach. All aspects of lawn care, including mowing, fertilization, weed control, core aeration, soil testing, and pest management, work together to create a thriving, lush lawn. Whether you want us to handle everything or just need specific services, understanding how these elements work together is key to achieving the best results. This approach can be applied by us or by homeowners themselves.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to keep pests under control effectively. This means using a combination of methods to prevent and manage pests, ensuring the health of your lawn.

How Our Services Work Together

Our IPM approach and lawn care services are interconnected, creating a web of practices that support each other for optimal lawn health.

1. Regular Mowing: Weekly mowing keeps your grass healthy and looking great. One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is fertilizing their yards while only mowing biweekly. This can undermine your lawn’s health and appearance. Regular mowing helps distribute nutrients evenly, making fertilization more effective. Plus, mowing weekly saves you time and effort since biweekly mowing requires dealing with longer grass and more thatch buildup.

2. Fertilization and Weed Control: Our programs provide your lawn with the nutrients it needs to thrive while eliminating weeds. Regular mowing complements these treatments by promoting even growth and reducing weed problems. Fertilizing without consistent mowing can lead to uneven growth and a patchy lawn. Healthy, fertilized grass competes better against weeds and reduces their spread.

3. Core Aeration: This process improves soil health by reducing compaction, allowing roots to grow deeper and absorb more nutrients and water. Aeration enhances fertilization and weed control by improving nutrient uptake and soil structure. Regular mowing after aeration helps the lawn recover quickly and maintain its health. By improving root growth and soil health, aeration makes your lawn more resilient to pests and diseases.

4. Soil Testing: Knowing your soil’s nutrient levels and pH balance helps us create a customized lawn care plan. Soil testing identifies deficiencies and imbalances, allowing us to tailor our fertilization and maintenance practices to optimize nutrient uptake and promote healthy grass growth. Proper soil health supports the entire lawn care system, making fertilization, weed control, and pest management more effective. With accurate soil data, we can better manage nutrient applications and adjust our care strategies to suit your lawn’s needs.

5. Pest Management: Our IPM approach uses various methods to keep pests under control. By integrating mowing, fertilization, core aeration, and soil testing, we create a healthy environment that reduces pest issues. A well-maintained lawn is less susceptible to pests. When needed, we use targeted pest control solutions to address specific issues without disrupting the beneficial organisms that contribute to a healthy lawn ecosystem.

6. Customized Treatment Plans: Every lawn is different. We tailor our services to meet the specific needs of your yard, whether it’s new lawn care, advanced weed control, or specific pest management. Customized plans ensure that all elements of lawn care work together harmoniously, addressing your lawn’s unique requirements. This comprehensive approach ensures that your lawn receives the right care at the right time, enhancing its overall health and resilience.
