Holmes is fantastic! They are extremely organized, responsive, and fantastic communicators. We’ve used them for our home’s fertilization and weed treatment.
I’ve been with them for about 3 years and they are the best I’ve ever had. If I ever have a problem they come right out to treat it.
Great service and my lawn looks amazing. Best in town. Thank you Travis!
They do a great job! Easy to work with and always reliable.

The same four conditions show up on nearly every Millcreek property we assess.
Packs tight, drains slowly and starves roots of air. Liquid aeration loosens it without plugs.
High pH locks up iron, so lawns yellow even when fed. We adjust blends rather than just add lime.
Summer heat and watering limits stress bluegrass. Our mid-season visits support turf instead of pushing growth.
Older neighborhoods mean thin turf under canopies. We treat shady and sunny zones differently.
Grass types we treat: Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue, fine fescues, and perennial ryegrass.
| What you see | Likely cause | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Brown patches that peel up like carpet | White grubs or billbug larvae eating roots | Curative grub treatment now, preventive in late spring |
| Yellow lawn even after fertilizing | Iron deficiency from alkaline soil | Iron-supplemented feed |
| Straw-colored lawn that greens after watering | Drought stress or sprinkler gaps | Watering advice + liquid aeration for clay |
| Rings or spots that spread in humid weeks | Fungal disease (dollar spot, brown patch) | Diagnosis and targeted disease control |
| Crabgrass along sidewalks and edges | Missed or late pre-emergent | Spring pre-emergent, spot post-emergent |
| Thin turf under trees | Shade and root competition | Shade-adjusted feeding + grass-type advice |

No. We don’t require a contract for any service. You stay because the results are good, not because you’re locked in.
Our program includes seven treatments, spaced about 5–6 weeks apart. Depending on your lawn they include liquid fertilization, grub and billbug prevention, and liquid aeration.
We usually begin in early spring, as soon as the ground thaws, and finish with a winterizer in late fall. Weather decides the exact dates, and we’ll let you know before each visit.
Keep kids and pets off treated areas until the application has dried, usually about an hour. Your technician will leave a note with what was applied and when the lawn is ready.
Wait for a couple of hours before mowing so the product can work. Watering depends on the application, and your technician’s note will tell you exactly what to do.
If rain would wash out a treatment, we’ll reschedule and let you know. If a treatment doesn’t take because of weather, we come back free.
Liquid aeration uses natural compounds that break up compacted soil so water, air and nutrients reach the roots. Unlike core aeration, it leaves no soil plugs and can be applied throughout the season, which makes it a good fit for Millcreek’s clay.
We look at soil compaction, signs of drought or irrigation stress, insect damage and disease. Millcreek soils tend to be alkaline, so instead of adding lime we look for iron deficiency and adjust your feeding plan.
We treat Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue, fine fescues and perennial ryegrass, the most common grasses in Salt Lake County lawns, and tailor each treatment to your turf.
No matter what the cause of your lawn issues may be, Holmes will work with you to develop a plan that addresses your turf's needs and gets your grass looking green and healthy in no time. Contact us today to get started with a FREE QUOTE on Millcreek lawn care services!
