Core Lawn Aeration & Over Seeding
Reduces soil compaction which allows more oxygen to the root system. Helps promotes seed germination normally applied at the same time. Helps fill any bare spots and promotes thick lush lawns. Every lawn should be aerated every few years. Lawns in need of major restoration should be aerated and over-seeded several years consecutively. Core lawn applications help preserve future water needs for your lawn as well as thickens the grass. Learn More...
Grub Control
Applied in early summer and now included as part of our Basic 5 Lawn Care Program schedule. Often times we apply a second grub application to properties where neighboring lawns have grubs. Grub control should also include your landscape gardens.
Crabgrass Control
A specialized crabgrass application can be applied in the spring or early summer depending on your lawns needs. This customized application is ordered separately from our Basic 5 Lawn Care Program. A pre-emergent or post-emergent herbicide is applied to kill crabgrass seeds or already germinated grass. The best way to control crabgrass is to improve the thickness of your grass and take proper care of your lawn. To request an inspection of your lawn's health and request an estimate click here.
Lime Application
Helps reduce soil acidity. Our lawn turf technician will take a soil sample of your lawn and send it off for pH testing to insure it measures between 6.0-7.0 (see explanation below). Granular lime applications (reduces dusty residue) are applied to properly restore the proper pH balance to your soil. Although the best time to apply lime is the fall the application can be applied almost any time of the year.A word about lime applications
A. The only way to determine whether or not lime is required, and how much to apply, is through a soil test conducted at a state or commercial soil testing laboratory. A soil test kit or pH probe used by the homeowner, or at the local garden center, to test soil pH may indicate the need for liming. However, these simple tests do not allow one to determine how much lime is needed to correct the acidic condition.

However, these simple tests do not allow one to determine how much lime is needed to correct the acidic condition.
A. Lime should be applied only when soil testing indicates that it is needed. Yearly lime applications, without making a soil test, are strongly discouraged because alkaline (high pH) conditions may develop. Depending on the soil test results, lime application may need to be applied twice during the year to properly balance the pH.
A. Lime can be applied at any time during the year. However, it should not be applied to turf that in late fall. The turf should be irrigated after application in order to wash any lime off of the turf grass leaves.
