Soil Testing

The correct balance of nutrients, pH, and soil texture is vital to a healthy, disease free lawn. We are partnered with soil testing labs that will provide a detailed report on the most important soil characteristics. Based on these reports we can tailor a program that is specific to your lawns individual needs.

Lime Application

Lime is provided in the fall, often in the same visit as the fall application. Lime is applied to maintain the present soil pH, but corrective applications may be recommended as a result of soil testing.

Core Aeration

Core aeration is a process that mechanically removes small plugs of soil and thatch from your lawn and deposits them on the surface. The aeration process introduces air and water to the turf and increase decomposition of the thatch layer without actually removing any organic material. The cores brought to the surface will break down releasing nutrients and organic matter back into the soil and the holes left in the turf will help to air, water, and light infiltrate the root zone.

Overseeding

This service is performed with the core aeration. Overseeding introduces new seed varieties into the lawn.  Overseeding will help thicken your existing lawn as well as filling in any bare areas.

Topdressing with Organic Compost

Topdressing involves incorporating a layer of compost over an aerated lawn. This process vastly improves the soil quality and insures long term lawn benefits.  Rich soil encourages a healthy root system which in turn is better able to defend against insect and disease attack. This service can be performed on an entire lawn or needed sections.

Fungicide

Disease can be a season long problem for lawns. Generally, fungicide applications can be avoided through proper cultural practices. However, when necessary these applications can be provided.
