As your professional lawn care partner, we offer both seasonal packages as well as individual services (which may be combined with seasonal packages) to supplement your current efforts.

EXCESSIVE THATCH 

We can quickly tell if your lawn has too much thatch on it, but how it feels when we walk on it. If it feels very spongy underfoot there is a buildup of thatch, which should be removed. Alternatively, we can cut a V-pattern in the lawn with the sharp knife and pull the turf away from the soil to assess the thickness of it. If the thatch layer in the cut sample measures a thickness of one inch or more there is too much fat in there it should be removed.

LAWN FERTILIZATION

Lawn fertilization is crucial for maintaining a lush, vibrant lawn. It involves applying nutrients to the soil to support healthy grass growth and development. Fertilizers typically contain a balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium—key nutrients that promote root development, flowering, and overall lawn health. Regular fertilization, tailored to your specific grass type and soil conditions, helps replenish essential nutrients that may be depleted over time. To further enhance soil structure and nutrient absorption, adding gypsum can help break up compacted soil, while Epsom salt provides magnesium and sulfur, which are essential for chlorophyll production and overall plant vitality. It’s important to follow a fertilization schedule, ideally during the growing season, to ensure your lawn receives the right nutrients when it needs them most. By integrating aeration, seeding, and fertilization into your lawn care routine, you can achieve a lush, healthy lawn that enhances your outdoor space.

THATCH REMOVAL

That can be removed manually, by means of hand raking, or mechanically, by use of a power rake, mechanical dethatching AKA vertical mowing or vertical cutting is much more vigorous process than hand raking and therefore more efficient and effective. High speed rotating brushes aggressively reach toward the soil, grasping the thatch and spitting it out behind them as the operative moves the lawn mower like a machine over your lawn. The loose debris is then quickly raked up and backed up for disposal. Typically we perform this procedure as a part of a spring cleanup, but it is equally effective in the fall, when the turf goes through its second phase of active growth. Minimizing thatch for the future in an industry ecosystem insects earthworms beneficial fungi and other microorganisms will break down thatch and aerate the soil naturally excessively watering over fertilizing with nitrogen and heavy uses of insecticides and fungicides however serve to decrease the population of soil organisms which keep the thatch levels down to keep them minimized that development therefore we encourage proper watering proper fertilization frequent mowing with a mulching type lawn mower.



AERATION

Aeration is a vital lawn care practice that involves perforating the soil with holes to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeper into the root zone. This process alleviates soil compaction, which can restrict root growth and hinder the overall health of your lawn. By promoting better soil aeration, you encourage stronger roots, improved drainage, and enhanced nutrient uptake. Aeration is typically recommended during the growing season when grass is actively growing, ensuring that your lawn can recover quickly and thrive.
