FIESTA® NATURAL DANDELION CONTROLThe active ingredient in this natural broadleaf weed control is Iron (FeHEDTA) chelate. While it can have some effect on other broadleaf weeds, it is most effective on Dandelions. It is applied as a spot spray treatment in the spring. For optimal weed control results we recommend two applications. Check out our Why Organic? page for detailed information on this product. Price based on square footageGRUB CONTROL
To prevent and control grub infestations we offer a Beneficial Nematode treatment. These naturally occurring microscopic worms eat grub, flea and tick larvae. We spray the Nematodes in a compost tea solution over the entire lawn, which will also help enrich your soil. We provide this service during the first lawncare application in early Spring. This is a once yearly treatment. Price based on square footage
AERATION
Helps improve compacted soil conditions and allows water to better penetrate down to the root layer. We provide this service in either Spring or Fall.

OVERSEEDING
Lawns with thin grass or bare spots are perfect targets for weeds. In nature, plants produce seed to reproduce themselves and spread new plants. Grass that is mowed regularly has no opportunity to set seed and produce new grass plants. Over time, your lawn will need new grass plants introduced to help fill-in thin areas and bare spots. We use a slit seeder to add Turf Type Tall Fescue grass seed to your lawn, the variety best suited to Central Ohio weather conditions. For best results, we provide this service in late Summer.

"Your service is excellent; and I feel the environment of our property is safer and healthier for our family and our pets by using your environmentally safe products."
(Columbus client
since 2004)
"My extensive gardens require my time so I leave the organic care of the lawn to Elfner Organic Lawncare. I am extremely satisfied with my "green" mixed lawn that is safe for children and pets." (Columbus client since 2005)
"I really love organic lawncare as it gives me peace of mind when I want to walk barefoot to my garden and my pets walk, roll, and sleep on the lawn. Also, if you are bothered by Japanese beetles, then Elfner Organic Lawncare is GREAT. I used to have so many beetles on my flowers until I switched to their service. Their company uses Beneficial Nematodes, and I haven't had but a couple of beetles in all the years since I began using their service!" (Westerville client since 2006)
