Overseeding.

• Overseeding is the process of planting grass seed into an existing lawn to promote thicker, healthier growth.

​

Irrigation.

• Adjustments to your irrigation system are essential to ensuring that your lawn gets the right amount of water it needs to thrive. Less water causes your lawn to suffer. Too much water promotes pathogens (diseases).

 

Fertilizing.

• Fertilize your lawn with the appropriate fertilizer at the right time. Generally, it is recommended to fertilize your lawn in early spring, late spring, summer, and fall.

 

Weed Control.

• Control weeds in your lawn by using pre-emergent herbicides in early spring. Post-emergent herbicides can be used to control weeds that have already grown.

 

 Aeration.

• Aeration is the process of creating small holes in your lawn to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil.

 

Disease Monitoring.

• We inspect your lawn and plants regularly for signs of disease, such as brown or discolored patches of grass, mold or fungus growth, or unusual growth patterns from nematodes.​

 

Pest Control.

• Pest control is an important part of lawn care. By identifying pests early, practicing good lawn maintenance, and using the right treatments only when necessary, you can keep your lawn healthy and beautiful all year round.

 

Remember, a healthy lawn requires proper care and maintenance. Following these guidelines will help keep your lawn stay healthy and beautiful.
