We use a plant based, organic solution for your lawn care needs. Our bio nutrient helps create healthy lawns by harnessing the benefits of naturally occurring beneficial microorganisms found in the "soil food web". This helps re-create a natural ecosystem.



•This past year we have reduced our nitrates by over 20 tons.


•In 2013 and 2014 we have reduced our fertilizer usage by 80%.

This is what mid-May should look like.

Two pre-emergent applications, organic-based fertility, biological soil support, and proper timing make all the difference.

As temperatures rise and soil activity increases, now is one of the best times to strengthen your lawn from the ground up.

Our Biological Soil Supplement is designed to improve soil health naturally while helping our w**d control program work more efficiently. By improving soil biology and plant permeability, the turf is able to better utilize nutrients and absorb applications more effectively — allowing us to reduce reliance on heavier chemistry over time while still delivering strong results.

Using this biology-forward approach, we’re also able to reduce nitrate usage in our program by up to 50% compared to more traditional lawn care programs.

Our Biological Soil Supplement contains:

* Humic & fulvic acid
* South African sea kelp
* Molasses
* Mycorrhizae fungi
* Bio-nutrient package

Together, these ingredients help:

* stimulate microbial activity
* improve nutrient availability
* encourage deeper rooting
* improve water movement through the soil
* support healthier, thicker turf

Healthier turf naturally competes better against w**ds, especially during stressful summer conditions.

And if the last several Indiana summers have taught us anything, it’s that dry conditions are likely coming.

Here are a few important summer lawn tips:

Mow High
We recommend mowing at one of your mower’s highest settings during summer stress. Taller turf shades the soil, retains moisture better, and helps reduce heat stress.

Water Deep & Infrequently
Lawns generally need about 1 inch of water every 7–10 days during dry periods.

For irrigation systems, we typically recommend:

* watering 2–3 days per week
* running zones approximately 30–45 minutes per zone
* avoiding daily shallow watering

Deep, infrequent watering encourages deeper rooting and improves drought tolerance.

Building stronger soil now helps your lawn better handle the heat later.

Less Chemistry. More Biology. Better Lawns.

That deep, rich green doesn’t happen by accident.

It’s what happens when you focus on the soil, not just the surface.

At Total Lawn Care, we build lawns from the ground up with organic-based fertility, biology, and products that last longer—so your lawn stays thicker, healthier, and greener between visits.

Less chemistry. More biology. Better lawns.

We’ve had some serious snow stick around Indy lately, and while it looks pretty… your lawn might be hiding a surprise underneath 👀🌱

As the snow melts, keep an eye out for snow mold—a common issue after long snow cover.

🌿 Snow Mold Tips (When the Snow Clears)

✔️ Don’t panic – most snow mold is cosmetic and turf usually recovers
✔️ Lightly rake matted areas to improve airflow
✔️ Avoid heavy nitrogen right away – let the lawn breathe first
✔️ Stay off soggy turf to prevent compaction
✔️ Spring organic soil builders help the lawn bounce back naturally

The good news? With warmer temps and proper care, most lawns green right back up 💪🌱

If you’re seeing white, gray, or straw-colored patches after melt-off, Total Lawn Care has your back. Our organic-based programs are designed to heal soil and turf from the roots up.
