Why worry about keeping your lawn gorgeous when you can simply enjoy it? With our seasonal service, we’ll ensure that your lawn is fertilized, raked, mown and weeded, when the time and season is right. When you’ve got a lawn, you’ll find it easier to love when we take care of the maintenance.
Good shrubs lock the soil around your foundation in place and help make your yard beautiful. But if they are given the opportunity, they can overgrow or take over your yard. Once shrubs with central trunks grow too large, they often can't be trimmed back down to a smaller size and need to be replaced.
Aeration is the process of creating openings in the lawn to help air, water and nutrients move into the soil to the grass roots, alleviate soil compaction and help reduce thatch. Spiking and slicing move soil rather than removing it. Although they make less visual impact on the lawn surface, they are not as effective in providing pockets for water, air and nutrients to enter the soil.
Thatch is the dense, fibrous layer of living and dead grass shoots, stems, leaves and roots that accumulates between the green vegetation and the soil surface. A thin layer of thatch, ½ inch (12.7 mm) or less, is desirable. It helps moderate temperature extremes, limits weed growth, and provides cushioning that makes an excellent surface for play and sports.
There are many chemicals on the market that tout their weed-killing abilities. These include pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides. Pre-emergent must be applied before the weed seeds germinate because these prevent that from happening, which keeps the weeds from growing. Post-emergent herbicides kill a weed in a week, but the weed itself remains in place until it eventually shrivels and dies.
We like to do a thorough rake, vacuum and removal of fall’s glory after it’s hit the decks. We use state of the art equipment to suck up, haul away and recycle what Mother Nature leaves behind. This service is completed after the last mowing of the season. To start the season off with a bang and get your property in shape, we like to do a thorough once over of your property.
