Weekly Lawn Mowing: Our work crews will mow your lawn on an average of every seven days. Mowing frequency may change during periods of rain. The mowing season generally begins in late March or early April and ends the week following Thanksgiving. The grass will be cut to a height of 2 ½ to 3 inches. Excess clippings will be mulch mowed as needed to return nitrogen to the lawn. Sidewalk and curb edging are included to maintain a neat appearance.
Seasonal Lawn Care Program is a series of both granular and liquid applications will take place beginning in late February to early March and ending in late November to early December. Included in this program is
- Pre-emergent Weed Control
- Broadleaf Weed Control
- Fertilizer
- Integrated Pest Management
- Fungicide (if needed)
- Liming based on soil analysis (if needed)
- Horticulture Oil controls pests during the over wintering stage.
- Insecticide Treatment protects trees and shrubs during the growing season from harmful pests.
- Fertilizations are granular in the spring and deep root feeding is done in the late fall to promote healthy plant growth.
Mulching and Bed Edging includes stripping old mulch out of previously mulched areas (not including woodlines unless specified), complete weed removal, and installation of premium quality double shredded hardwood mulch. All bed edges are re-defined prior to the installation of the mulch. A one-time shrub pruning can be included by request.
Weeding and Mulch Bed Maintenance is an optional program that begins once your mulch beds have been stripped of all old material. A granular weed control is applied prior to the installation of the new mulch. Our weeding crew will visit your home once per month to hand pull weeds, deadhead flowers, and apply Round Up if needed to eradicate stubborn weeds. This service ends in October. At this time we are only able to offer this program to clients for whom we installed new mulch.
Grub Control can be applied to the turf in late June to combat infestation. Grubs typically become active in late June to early July. Taking action in June can greatly decrease the chances and/or severity of root damage that can potentially occur.
Pruning can be contracted on an as-needed basis or in a package including spring, summer, and fall. Shrubs will be hand sheared to maintain the health and neat appearance and trees will be trimmed to a height determined by the client and our estimator. Debris clean up and off site disposal are included.
Aeration and Overseeding is preformed in the late summer to early fall, generally beginning in September. All accessible turf areas will be aerated in two directions for optimal results. Aeration should be done once per year to break up compacted soil, allowing root growth, nitrogen circulation, and thicker grass. Overseeding is done in conjunction with aeration using a tall fescue blend. Germination begins in the late fall and the lawn becomes lush and green with new grass in the spring when dormancy ends.
Topdressing in conjunction with aeration and overseeding is paramount to owning the best looking lawn in your neighborhood. We apply Soilmate™ to the turf before seed is spread. The benefits of Soilmate™ are:
- Creating healthy turf with a stronger more vigorous root structure
- Reducing the need for excessive irrigation by enhancing the soil’s ability to retain moisture
- Replenishing soil nutrients
- Allowing the lawn to absorb nutrients when needed
- Containing micro-organisms that will increase grass vitality and reduce susceptibility to certain plant diseases.
