Services
Lawn Aeration
Core aeration improves lawn health by creating air channels in compacted soil. This process enhances water absorption, nutrient delivery, and root development. Our professional equipment removes soil plugs to create space for oxygen and microorganisms, promoting stronger grass growth. Regular aeration reduces thatch buildup and improves drought resistance.
Compost Topdressing
Applying organic compost improves soil structure and nutrient content. Our 1/4-inch topdressing application delivers essential minerals while enhancing moisture retention. This treatment boosts microbial activity and reduces chemical fertilizer dependency. Regular applications create darker green lawns with improved disease resistance and better water infiltration.
Dethatching Service
Excessive thatch prevents water and nutrients from reaching roots. Our power raking removes dead grass layers while preserving healthy growth. The process improves air circulation and reduces pest habitats. We recommend combining dethatching with aeration for optimal lawn recovery and density improvement.
Moss Control
We apply ferrous sulfate treatments to eliminate moss in lawns. Our approach addresses underlying issues like soil acidity and poor drainage. Regular applications combined with pH balancing create unfavorable conditions for moss regrowth. This treatment works best when integrated with aeration and overseeding programs.
Seasonal Cleanups
Our seasonal services include leaf removal, debris cleanup, and landscape preparation. We clear walkways, flower beds, and turf areas to maintain property aesthetics. Fall cleanups prepare lawns for winter dormancy while spring services remove winter debris and stimulate new growth through strategic pruning and edging.
