Lake County Grass Fertilizer
Perma-Green was established in NWI way back in 1974. Perma-Green started as a local lawn care company with expertise in grass fertilizers, but the ability to help people with soil challenges in Lake County allowed Perma-Green’s reputation to grow and grow! Today, Perma-Green is considered Lake County’s best lawn care service.
The Secret to Fertilizing | In Lake County, the secret to having the best lawn was working with a lawn care company that does more than just add lawn fertilizer, they added to right fertilizer.
Generic, one-size-fits-all fertilizers are not optimized for the challenges facing NWI homeowners. A bag of fertilizer purchased from the corporate big box store isn’t formulated for most lawns. A generic fertilizer that fits the needs of someone in Arizona isn’t optimized for NWI’s diverse soil. In fact, the right fertilizer in your neighborhood might not be the best choice for the house down the road. The secret to Perma-Green’s success in exceeding expectations in Lake County goes beyond their expertise and experience…. Perma-Green can also do it for less than doing it yourself.

Steve Daly's Tips
Lake County Lawn Care Advisory
It has been a long, hot, dry summer. The turf has been through several different challenges throughour the county this year. From primary patch disease to heat/drought and insect issues, Lake County lawns have been under siege from the environment. We are currently in a holding pattern for our full program customers who haven’t been watering. For those with an aeration and overseeding schedule that are not watering, we can’t pull plugs in clay soils, and we need you to start, or you may jeopardize the optimum germination window for seed. The two-week forecast has almost no significant rainfall forecast, and we have been in an extended heat wave this month. Recent Temperatures were 14 degrees above the average daily high. Overall, temperatures are up significantly this year. The point of no return for some lawns is already upon us. Start watering today if you want to aid your lawn’s fall recovery. Two fall fertilization applications with a pound of active nitrogen each will also assist recovery and aid next spring’s turf health. Soil composition determines watering practice.

Being the best Lake County Lawn Care Service needs this!
Anyone that has ever tried to maintain a lawn in Lake County will tell you, that the key to growing a healthy, green lawn in Northwest Indiana is part science and part experience.
The scientific component includes knowing the diversity of soil types in Lake County and having the training to know how to amend the soil and what nutrients are needed. The best-practice solutions also need to be part of a plan. This plan will change from season to season.
The second factor is knowing the history of what works and what doesn’t. Let’s face it unless you are prepared to have soil studies conducted every month, you’ll need a lawn care service that is seasoned in finding solutions. From which lawn fertilization to use to how much to water the grass and when to aerate. Success comes with experience in Lake County, Indiana.
More than the Best Fertilizer Programs!
Fortunately, the Perma-Green family is well-qualified in both these factors! But according to Daly, the third factor in running a successful lawn care service in Lake County is knowing how to treat Lake County residents.
According to Daly, people from the region work hard and play hard. They expect a lawn care company to work hard and be accountable. Let’s be real, on occasion, a renegade weed might appear unexpectedly. It’s how PG handles issues that differentiate Perma-Green.
It’s what separates Perma-Green from both “here today-gone tomorrow local companies or the big national companies that would rather argue with the customer than just finish the job with accountability.
Maybe that’s why after nearly 50 years, Perma-Green is still considered Lake County’s best lawn care and fertilizer service company.
