To support long-term lawn, tree, and shrub health, Ray’s Tree & Lawn Care offers specialized services focused on nutrition, soil improvement, and seasonal recovery. From fall revitalization treatments to core aeration, overseeding, and deep root fertilization, our experienced team helps strengthen landscapes and promote healthier growth through every season.
Revive, Rejuvenate and Strengthen
Seasonal lawn, tree, and shrub fertilization provides essential nutrients needed for strong root development and overall plant health. Fall applications help landscapes recover from summer stress and promote healthier growth in spring and summer.
Core Aeration and Overseeding
Professional core aeration and overseeding improve soil compaction, increase oxygen and nutrient absorption, and create ideal conditions for new grass seed to establish. Fall is the most effective time to strengthen turf density and improve lawn resilience.
Deep Root Fertilization
Deep root fertilization delivers slow-release nutrients directly to the root zone, promoting healthier trees and landscape plants with improved resistance to disease, insects, and environmental stress.

They were quick to answer my questions and get me an estimate. I had a large tree in my front yard near hanging cables and a lot of under ground wires and they were able to take it down without issues. I live on a very busy road and it wasnt a problem for them at all. They removed the stump and cleaned up after they finished even taking the time to put back my solar lights on my walk way.

FAQ
What lawn care services do you offer?
Ray’s Tree Service provides professional lawn fertilization, aeration, overseeding, weed control, and lawn maintenance services designed to keep residential and commercial properties healthy, attractive, and well-maintained throughout the year.
How often should my lawn be fertilized?
Most lawns in the St. Louis area benefit from multiple fertilizer applications throughout the growing season. The ideal schedule depends on grass type, soil conditions, and the overall health of your lawn.
What are the benefits of lawn aeration?
Aeration helps reduce soil compaction, improve water and nutrient absorption, encourage deeper root growth, and create healthier turf. It is one of the most effective ways to improve lawn health and long-term performance.
When is the best time to aerate and overseed a lawn?
For most cool-season grasses common in St. Louis, fall is the ideal time for aeration and overseeding. This allows new grass to establish before winter and promotes stronger growth the following spring.
Why is my lawn turning brown?
Brown patches can result from drought stress, disease, insect activity, soil compaction, improper watering, or nutrient deficiencies. A professional evaluation can help identify the cause and determine the best treatment plan.
Can fertilization help improve thin or patchy grass?
Yes. Proper fertilization helps strengthen root systems, improve turf density, and encourage healthier growth. In some cases, overseeding may also be recommended to improve lawn coverage and appearance.
How can I reduce weeds in my lawn?
A healthy, properly maintained lawn is the best defense against weeds. Regular fertilization, proper mowing practices, overseeding, and targeted weed control treatments can help minimize weed growth and improve turf quality.
Do you offer free lawn care estimates?
Yes. Ray’s Tree Service provides estimates for lawn care services and can recommend a customized program based on the condition of your lawn, property size, and maintenance goals.
