  • How often should I fertilize my lawn in Madison, WI?
    Optimal fertilization depends on your lawn type and soil conditions, but a typical program in Madison involves 4-5 applications per year. This includes a spring feeding for growth, a summer application for strength, and a fall treatment for root development, ensuring a healthy lawn throughout the seasons.
  • Do you offer seasonal cleanup services in Madison, WI?
    Absolutely! Our seasonal cleanup services are essential for maintaining a tidy and healthy landscape. In spring, we clear winter debris and prepare beds.

  • Do you offer ongoing lawn maintenance packages, or only one-time services?
    We offer both! You can choose from one-time services for specific needs, or opt for our convenient, customizable recurring maintenance packages. These can include regular mowing, fertilization, weed control, and seasonal cleanups to keep your Madison property looking pristine year-round.
  • What are natural methods to control weeds in flower beds?
    Effective weed control can often be achieved naturally through a combination of methods. A thick layer of high-quality mulch (3-4 inches) is excellent for suppressing weeds. Regular hand-pulling, especially when weeds are small, is also very effective. Our team can advise on the best natural strategies for your specific flower beds to keep them looking their best. Contact us at [totalguardllc@gmail.com](mailto:totalguardllc@gmail.com) for personalized advice.
  • Why is it not recommended to mow grass too short?
    Mowing too short (scalping) stresses the grass, making it more susceptible to weeds, diseases, and drought. We recommend the "one-third rule" – never removing more than one-third of the blade's height at once – to promote deeper root growth and a healthier, more resilient lawn. This practice ensures your lawn remains lush and green. For personalized lawn care advice, feel free to contact us at [totalguardllc@gmail.com](mailto:totalguardllc@gmail.com).
  • Is landscape fabric necessary under new mulch beds?
    While landscape fabric can help suppress weeds initially, it's not always necessary and can sometimes hinder soil health long-term. We often recommend a thick layer of high-quality mulch, as it naturally suppresses weeds, retains moisture, and enriches the soil as it decomposes. Contact us at [totalguardllc@gmail.com](mailto:totalguardllc@gmail.com) to discuss the best approach for your specific beds to ensure optimal results.
  • What types of mulch do you offer, and what are the benefits of each?
    We offer a variety of mulches, including shredded hardwood (excellent for soil enrichment and weed suppression), pine bark (acidifying, good for specific plants), and colored mulches (for aesthetic appeal). Each type helps conserve moisture, regulate soil temperature, and enhances your landscape's appearance. We'll help you choose the best fit for your Madison property.
