Our Lawn Care Program delivers exactly what your lawn needs, when it needs it. This often starts with a soil test.

Soil tests are laboratory-based evaluations of soil samples that determine the soil’s physical and chemical properties, including pH, nutrient levels, and potential contaminants. These tests help to determine the suitability of your lawn’s soil for growing grass and can inform our decisions about fertilizers and other treatments.

Based on a soil test and our evaluation process, we decide how many lawn treatments to get started with. We then tailor our approach over time as your soil and grass responds. This creates a balanced and effective lawn care service, which you simply invest in once for the whole year (payments can be made monthly). Of course, there are a few things that we know work, as a standard. For example, our lawn weed control and lawn fertilization services are included with every Lawn Care Program.

This results in healthy grass and happy homeowners! If you would like to discuss your lawn and see what we can do for you, simply
schedule a conversation.

Every homeowner’s needs are different, so we have developed a few add-ons that you can request, or that we may recommend, based on the state of your lawn. These add-ons help bolster our lawn care services and give you the results you’re looking for. Our add-on services include lawn aeration, grub worm prevention, armyworm prevention, soil testing and soil amendment.

Every homeowner’s nightmare for their lawn is weeds taking over. Weeds compete with the grass in your lawn for nutrients, water, and sunlight, leading to decreased growth and health of the desired grass species (in Moore, that tends to be Bermuda grass). They can also spread quickly and take over a lawn if not controlled, making the lawn appear patchy and unattractive.

Our weed control process was designed to eliminate all your weeds with a 100% money-back guarantee. Our technicians arrive at a time that is convenient for you and focus on spraying the weeds with a blue-tinted treatment. This gives you peace of mind that your entire lawn has been treated. Our weed control process is not a standalone service but is included in our Willis Lawn Care Program.

Our weed control treatments are continuously updated based on what’s most effective and new innovations that are hitting the market. In general, we focus most on pre-emergent pesticides. Pre-emergent pesticides are chemical substances applied to the lawn’s soil prior to planting grass, or before the emergence of weeds. They work by killing the weed seeds before they have a chance to grow, which prevents weed growth in the area.

If you have existing weeds, then we will also use post-emergent pesticides. These, on the other hand, are applied to the soil after the weeds have emerged. They are used to control or kill established weeds, and they work by penetrating the plant tissue and traveling to the root system where they disrupt growth and ultimately lead to the death of the weed.

Both types of pesticides have the potential to harm beneficial insects, such as pollinators. So we use them with caution, considering both the environment and your budget. Our weed control program is responsible and effective, as well as convenient for you.

Lawn fertilization is the process of applying nutrients to the soil in your lawn to promote healthy grass growth and maintain its lush, green appearance. This is usually done with a fertilizer product that contains a combination of essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

The right type and amount of fertilizer can help to improve the strength and color of the grass, as well as its overall health and resistance to disease and pests. Fertilization can be done manually or with specialized equipment and is typically performed several times per year, depending on the needs of the specific lawn.

Our Lawn Fertilization Services are based on expertise from the local Moore area. (Note: Fertilizer is not standalone and must be purchased in a program.)

We always:

Consider and apply only the best fertilizers for Bermuda grass.
Follow our tried-and-proven annual treatment calendar to provide a healthy lawn.
Put only the necessary amount of product on a lawn – never over-treat.

Of course, this service is completely guaranteed.

Our lawn fertilization schedule is centered around getting you the best results for your lawn. We follow the OSU OK County Extension office’s calendar for treatments, which means that fertilization happens every six weeks beginning in April/May. We apply four fertilizer treatments, which deliver:

– Quick growth
– Color and density boosts
– A healthy lawn

Fertilization is an important part of lawn care, so we focus on getting it right while also ensuring we avoid the need for too much mowing. The ideal balance of fertilization helps to promote healthy grass growth by providing essential nutrients that are lacking in the soil. This can result in a lush and green lawn, improved resistance to pests and diseases, and enhanced overall appearance. Regular fertilization can also increase the longevity of the lawn and make it more resilient to environmental stressors such as drought or extreme temperatures.

As part of the Lawn Care Program, you will also receive three weed prevention treatments.

Lawn aeration is the process of removing small plugs of soil from a lawn to improve the flow of water, air, and nutrients to the roots of the grass. It is usually performed when the soil is compacted, reducing the ability of grass roots to grow. Homeowners on our lawn health program find that this service boosts and enhances the results we already achieve.

It’s recommended to aerate your lawn once a year, or more often if the soil is heavily compacted. Aerating at the right time of the year, such as when the grass is actively growing in early summer, can also help to achieve better results.

Lawn aeration will:

Create space for plenty of healthy new root growth.
Help decompose thatch in your lawn quickly. Thatch is a buildup of old grass that can be a breeding ground for pests.
Increase the transfer of water, air, and nutrients to the roots of your grass.

In particular, lawn aeration is effective if your lawn has been compressed over the years. This usually happens when your lawn has a lot of foot, play, pet, or vehicle traffic. After aeration, you will see more even and well-distributed grass growth. For lawns with heavy clay soil, aeration reduces water run-off and results in more evenly growing grass. If you have an established healthy lawn you will see results in the form of reduced thatch.

Willis customers are often convinced of the effects of lawn aeration after the very first time we perform it! With just a small adjustment to your monthly payment, we can work lawn aeration into your Lawn Care Program. Call us at 405-347-8289 for more information or to get signed up!

Yes, you can aerate your own lawn. In proper soil aeration, you’ll remove small plugs of soil from your lawn to allow water, air, and nutrients to reach the roots more easily. You can purchase a manual or powered aerator and use it to create holes in the soil. Just make sure to follow the instructions carefully to avoid damaging the lawn.

Here’s our general step-by-step lawn aeration guide:

1. Mow the lawn to a shorter length than normal before starting.
2. Mark off any obstacles such as sprinkler heads, rocks, or low-hanging branches to avoid damaging them while aerating.
3. Rent or purchase an aerator machine.
4. Start at one corner of the lawn and make passes over the grass, spacing out the holes made by the aerator.
5. Water the lawn lightly after aeration to help settle the soil back into the holes.
