When you think about lawn care, you probably picture someone pushing a mower across perfectly green grass. But mowing is just one small part of what a lawn needs to stay healthy all summer long.

At Tiger Pride Lawn Care, we specialize in the behind-the-scenes treatments that actually make your grass worth mowing. If your lawn looks thin, patchy, weedy, or stressed out from summer heat, it’s not the mower’s fault. It’s time to look below the surface.

Here's What Your Lawn Really Needs This Summer

1) Fertilization to Feed the Soil

Like most living things, grass needs nutrients to grow strong. Your lawn takes a beating in the summer, so now is a critical time to replenish what’s lost to heat and foot traffic. Fertilization helps your lawn:

· Maintain color and thickness

· Resist stress and drought

· Grow deeper, healthier roots

We apply the right kind of nutrients at the right time.

2) Weed Control that Works

Weeds don’t take a summer vacation. In fact, heat and humidity can make issues like crabgrass and clover get worse. If you sleep on weed control over the summer, invasive species will definitely take advantage. Sure, mowing might temporarily hide them, but only targeted weed control can stop them at the root.

We use safe, effective treatments to keep weeds in check and give your grass room to thrive.

3) Pest Protection for Your Yard (and You)

Ants, fleas, ticks, and mosquitos all peak in the summer months, and they love to hide in tall grass and shady spots. Our pest control treatments create a barrier around your home and yard, helping to protect your family and pets from bites and disease.

4) Professional Eyes on Your Lawn

We don’t just treat your lawn, we monitor it. Each visit we make is an opportunity to catch early signs of stress, pests, or nutrient issues before they turn into bigger problems. That’s why an ongoing summer lawn treatment plan is something we highly recommend.
