Fertilization Program
Great lawns need more than simply watering and cutting. They need fertilization – nutrients that allow the grass to become lush and strong, the way your lawn was meant to be. Pro-Mow offers a variety of premier lawn fertilization services that are proven to help your lawn reach the perfect level of softness and strength that will make your lawn shine.

Pro-Mow’s 9-Step Lawn Fertilization Service this includes the Basic Care Plus Program, plus:
- Core Aeration
During the core aeration process, a powered device is rolled over your lawn with metal tubes penetrating several inches, removing plugs of thatch and soil then depositing them on the surface. These plugs create holes which allow air, water, and organic matter to reach the root system. Throughout the growing season these holes make room for soil to loosen and permit root growth. Read more here. - Over Seeding (mid September – mid November)
During the aeration process, we will over seed your entire lawn with the highest quality, certified seed available. Read more here.
* All lawns not on the Premium Care Program will be re-evaluated late summer for possible fall aeration and over seeding.
