Steketee Turf Service is a locally owned lawn care business that has been providing various lawn services to the Caledonia, MI area for over 30 years. We are members of several organizations, including the Michigan Turf Grass Foundation, the Small Business Association of Michigan, and the Michigan Nursery and Landscape Association. We provide a high quality service, as evidenced by our motto: making the grass greener on your side of the fence. Steketee Turf Service provides a variety of different lawn care and lawn maintenance services. We perform lawn aeration, core aeration, lawn fertilizing, and weed control. We also offer lawn and perimeter pest control services. We employ certified technicians that are capable of handling all of your lawn care and fertilization needs in Caledonia. We are locally owned and operated and we like to apply a personal touch to all of our services. When you call on Steketee Turf Service for your lawn maintenance requirements, you are calling on true experts. We personalize our programs to fit your needs. Call on us to perform your lawn fertilizing services. Lawns need a certain number of nutrients in order to thrive. Most notably, lawns require nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. Nitrogen is the most important nutrient for growth and development. It promotes root and shoot growth, density, and a healthy green color. Phosphorous is essential to the photosynthesis process and is important in seed growth. Potassium is the second most-used nutrient by grass, right behind nitrogen. It aids in hardiness and disease resistance, and has a high potential to be lost by leaching. Steketee Turf Service has the knowledge necessary to determine which nutrients your lawn is deficient in so that we can fertilize it properly. We offer a 5-step program for lawn care. In the early spring, we apply a complete balanced fertilizer with pre-emergent crabgrass control. In late spring, we apply a fertilizer with weed control. In the summer we apply a balanced fertilization and spot treatment for weeds. In fall we apply another fertilization and broadleaf weed control. By late fall, your lawn is preparing for winter so we apply a winter dormant feeding that promotes root development and helps your lawn be green sooner next spring. We also do core aeration which involves removing small plugs of grass and soil from the lawn to give the roots room to expand and take in nutrients. Compact soil can make it hard for your lawn to take in nutrients, and that is where core aeration services come in. Crabgrass is a problem, but it doesn’t have to be with Steketee Turf Service. A healthy lawn has more protection against crabgrass as crabgrass needs open spaces to grow and thrive. If your lawn is healthy, it is less likely to have bald patches and is therefore hardier against crabgrass all on its own. Rely on us to make your lawn healthy enough to resist crabgrass and other diseases! 8 EMPLOYEES. NO SUBS. COST IS DETERMINED BY THE JOB. NO TRAVEL CHARGES.

"Great. They're professional and punctual. Price is on par with other lawn servicers. We were doing our own fertilizing and decided to have someone else do it. We chose them over others because we had used them years ago at our previous home and had great results."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

You should fertilize your lawn after it has grown at least two inches or after your second mow (usually in March or April). Applying fertilizer too early can feed your weeds and cause them to grow stronger, too. You should water your lawn two to three days before you apply fertilizer to ensure the soil absorbs it.

St. Augustine is a hardy grass that’s relatively easy to grow, but it requires regular lawn maintenance to stay healthy. It’s best to keep up with a regular fertilization schedule during the growing season, plus a yearly dethatching to help it properly absorb air and moisture. Watering is also important, so be sure to water it enough to keep the soil moist.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years. 

Water your yard a little more deeply after a drought for about two weeks (while still avoiding overwatering). Continue to water in the early morning hours before 10 a.m. You'll also want to invest in some high-quality fertilizer to get more nutrients to your roots and help them grow back stronger and quicker. Look up your grass and soil type, or do a soil test, to see what type of fertilizer you need.

Clover lawns stand up better against dog and cat urine than traditional turfgrass. If your pets love to hang out on the lawn on a sunny day—or if you find yourself with a lot of visiting neighborhood dogs—you could save yourself from yellow and brown patches by making the switch to a clover lawn.
