22 | April 5, 2018 | 22nd century media home & garden 22ndCenturyMedia.com Tinley Park’s Lawn-Tech Ltd. has served area customers for 34 years Lawn-Tech Ltd. is a 34-year-old family-owned business specializing in the custom application of fertilizers and pesticides to lawns, trees and shrubs. It currently services 12,000 properties in the southwest suburban area with 21 service vehicles. Lawn-Tech uses granular fertilizer and liquid weed controls year-round to care for lawns. Optional services include preventive grub control, core aeration, preventive and curative insect and disease control, specialty programs for diseased lawns, and preemergent control of weeds in landscape beds. It offers flexible programs based on the customer’s expectations and finances. Lawn-Tech also offers tree and shrub fertilization, treatment for insect and disease suppression, and specialty programs if needed for plant-specific problems. Lawn-Tech customers receive newsletters when the lawn is serviced that discuss common seasonal problems customers’ lawns may be experiencing, as well as guidelines on how to do their maintenance activities correctly. Lawn-Tech dry fertilizers contain controlled release nitrogen year-round to give a more even feeding over the entire application period, and to reduce stress and burn potential in hot dry weather. Lawn- Tech thinks this is a major difference between their program and others, whose brochures may only mention controlled-release nitrogen in one summer application to reduce “burn” potential. If other companies were using controlled-release year-round,that would be a major selling point, which one would expect they would mention. Quickrelease nitrogen is much cheaper, which is reflected in their low prices. If they offer a free application when a customer takes full service, it is probably just cheap nitrogen and nothing else. Lawn-Tech services residential lawns, as well as businesses, school districts, football and baseball fields.
