Yes, after your grass is dry. This is usually about an hour depending on the sun and weather conditions on the specific date of application.

Yes you can, but consider the benefits of a seasonal contract:

• Snow will be removed before it has time to build an ice layer on the surface
• When traveling and away from your residence, you won’t have to worry about scheduling your snow removal service.
• Your driveway will be clear for emergency and service vehicles in the event of a fire or a flood from frozen pipes

Core aeration is one of the best things that can be done for your lawn. Our lawns are mostly clay based and are very tight and compacted. Core aeration removes soil cores and reduces compaction and thatch. This also allows for better air, water, and nutrient flow. When removing the soil core, grass roots can then spread out. The healthier the root is, the healthier the plant.

Larson Lawnscape is able to offer you this service, however, it is always a good idea to prepare your landscaping for winter by tying up small trees, shrubs, and bushes and stake your driveway for the winter.  If you are a Winter Services client, our equipment won’t damage your landscaping if it has been prepared properly for winter.

This all is dependent upon when the snow starts to fall and accumulate.  We prefer to run our snow removal routes between the hours of 1 a.m. and 8 a.m. because that is the safest time for our operators and equipment due to minimal traffic on the roads. Typically, we’ll services your property once in the morning and then come back to clean up the next morning. Keep in mind, that we can’t always predict how Mother Nature is going to give us the snow. This means we are unable to tell you exactly when we are going to remove your snow. Whether it will be early mornings, evenings, or late night hours.

Some broad-leaf weeds will curl up and die almost immediately and some will take as much as two weeks to die. In any case, if there are still weeds present after two weeks, simply call us and we will come right out and reapply the weed control at no extra charge.
