OUR LAWN CARE SERVICES

ANNUAL LAWNCARE PROGRAM

Our 5 or 6 visit program provides season-long care for your lawn. We can also tailor our program to your lawn’s specific needs and your budget. A good fertilization program is the basis for a thick green and healthy lawn. We use slow-release granular fertilizers to feed the grass plants naturally for a consistently green lawn without the concern for surge growth often associated with liquid fertilizer applications. We use low pressure, low volume liquid weed controls. University studies show this is the best way to control even tough weeds. Also applied throughout the season as needed are controls for Crabgrass, Nutsedge and surface insects. This comprehensive approach to caring for our customer’s lawns equals fewer problems, and a better-looking lawn.

GRUB PREVENTION

Grubs can do a lot of damage to your lawn in a very short time. Grub prevention is your insurance policy against these damaging pests. We use Imidacloprid (the active ingredient in Grub X). This service is highly recommended. Not only does it control grubs, but also a number of other lawn damaging insects so your lawn is protected.

If you purchase the grub prevention and grub damage occurs, we will repair the damage at no charge. Take the guesswork out of dealing with grubs with this beneficial treatment!

CORE AERATION

Golf courses aerate 2-3 times per season. Home lawns, depending on soil and thatch benefit from aeration 1-2 times per year. A thick thatch layer prevents water, fertilizers and control products from reaching the soil. Thatch is also the perfect harborage for damaging insects like chinch bugs, billbugs, and many diseases. Aeration breaks through the thatch layer. Once aeration is done, plugs remain on the soil surface. This brings beneficial microbes to the soil surface to help naturally break down the thatch layer for healthier turf.

Aeration can be done any time of the season, we generally recommend fall when the soil is moist but not soggy, though some lawns with compacted soils or heavy thatch layers could benefit from spring aeration or both spring and fall. Our technicians leave recommendations so our customers know what is best for their lawn.

LIME

Does your lawn have poor color? Moss? Weeds that just do not seem to die when treated? Perhaps your lawn has acid soil. These are some of the signs of acid soil conditions. We use a high Calcium lime. Calcium is an important plant nutrient as well as a pH stabilizer.

We offer fall lime treatments to reduce soil acidity based on the lawn’s condition. In some cases, we may recommend a soil test to determine fertility and actual soil pH. There may be a minor cost for this test but isn’t it better to know for certain? Our technicians will leave recommendations based on your lawns condition.
