Turf Care

Our traditional fertilizing program is the "greenest" we can make it while still combating weeds. We use balanced formulations to ensure the grass is getting all the nutrients it needs. Each year, we apply 4 granular applications of time-release fertilizer to each property with an objective of maintaining all turf areas in a manner that will present healthy green lawns that are weed and pest free. One of these applications is a Compost Tea application, which is an organic application that seeks to improve the health of the soil thereby increasing the health of the grass.  A pre-emergent is applied in the springtime to combat crabgrass and turf is treated for broadleaf weeds using TWO blanket weed treatment applications. The first is applied in early April and a second is applied midway through summer.

Liquid aeration provides all of the advantages of mechanical aeration while eliminating the disadvantages. Liquid aeration creates fractures throughout the soil and aggregates soil particles together, allowing air and water infiltration much deeper into the soil. This results in improved root development and reduced compaction, and also makes nutrients in the soil more available to the turf. Traditional mechanical aeration only reduces compaction in the immediate area where the core is pulled rather than the entire lawn, it leaves a mess in your yard for dogs and kids to track into the house, and it can be difficult to do without damaging sprinkler system heads and electronic dog fences. This environmentally-friendly combination of potassium, humic acid, and iron will help your lawn breathe and flourish.

This treatment protects your lawn from grubs that feed on grass roots.  If left untreated grubs can kill your grass leaving unappealing brown patches. Our grub treatment helps protects the grass roots and improves the beauty of your lawn. This option is just one of the ways you can upgrade your turf.

We employ a liquid mosquito application which is sprayed on the turf and beds just like a herbicide application. (We make every effort to avoid spraying directly on flowers to help protect our pollinators.) It kills live mosquitoes and eggs, and there is very little residual chemical left in the soil. We recommend applications be applied every 3 weeks from May through August. It's very effective!
