Close up on snow mold on a lawn that needs treatment in Altoona, IA.

The freezing temperatures that we experience in Iowa can create the ideal environment for snow mold, a fungus that thrives in the cold, wet areas of our lawns under a layer of snow. Since snow mold grows under the snow, you won't know it until it's too late. We offer preventative treatments for snow mold that are applied in the fall before the snow starts falling. If your lawn has been affected by snow mold, our lawn care services such as fertilization, core aeration, and overseeding will help it regrow new grass and fill in any bare areas.

We offer our snow mold treatments in Des Moines, West Des Moines, Ankeny, and surrounding areas of Iowa. Call (515) 289-2020 to schedule our snow mold preventative treatment for your property today. We've been helping properties look great for 35 years and we're looking forward to doing the same for your property!


We offer preventative snow mold treatments.

Unfortunately, there is not a cure for snow mold. Luckily, we offer a preventative treatment that can prevent snow mold from ever forming on your lawn in the first place. We will come out to your property to apply our preventative treatment before the winter season. This treatment will discourage snow mold from developing on your lawn, so you won't have to worry about dealing with this lawn disease in the spring when the snow melts.

Leaves, long grass, and debris covering your lawn can promote snow mold. Removing these things before snowfall can help protect your lawn from snow mold outbreaks.


We apply a preventative treatment in the fall to get ahead of snow mold.

At A+ Lawn & Landscape, we apply our preventative snow mold treatments in the fall, right around Thanksgiving. We apply the treatments during this time period because this is right before the time that snow mold starts to become active. By getting ahead of snow mold, we can prevent it from ever forming on your lawn in the first place. This will save you from having to deal with this lawn disease in the spring.


We can nurse your lawn back to health with our lawn care services.

If you missed out on the preventative window and your lawn developed snow mold, we can help! While we can't cure snow mold, we do offer lawn care services that will help your lawn recover from the damage and get back to full health. Some of the lawn care services that we offer include:

  • Fertilization - We will apply our granular fertilizer across your lawn to provide it with the nutrients that it needs to grow nice and strong.
  • Aeration - Our aeration service is designed to loosen the compacted soil on your lawn to make it easier for nutrients, water, air, and sunlight to reach the roots of your grass.
  • Overseeding - By overseeding your lawn, we can fill in any bare or patchy areas with healthy, lush grass.
