Greetings,
As part of our scheduled grounds maintenance program at Deerfield High School, this message provides advance notice of lawn and landscape treatment services scheduled for Sunday, April 19, 2026.
These services will be performed by our licensed vendor, Lawn Squad, and are intended to support turf health, manage seasonal pests, and maintain safe, high-quality grounds during the spring growing season and in preparation for peak summer conditions.
Scope of Services:
- Broadleaf weed control
- Surface insect and turf weed treatment
- Preventative grub control
- Landscape bed treatment, including pre-emergent application
- Crabgrass control
- Turf fertilization
Safety and Compliance:
All applications will be completed by certified professionals in accordance with applicable Illinois regulations and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices.
Lawn Squad will install clearly visible notification flags at campus entrances and throughout all treated areas. These flags will provide re-entry guidance and will remain in place until conditions are safe for normal use.
Access to campus grounds will be restricted during and immediately following the application. Buildings will remain accessible; however, outdoor areas should not be used until re-entry conditions are met.
All products will be applied in strict accordance with the manufacturer's label requirements. Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are available upon request.
These procedures reflect our continued commitment to safe, compliant, and responsible grounds maintenance at Deerfield High School.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or if you need additional information.
Thank you,
Jose Medina, CPS, CPMM
