Fertilizer Blends are not all the same and neither are lawns, that
is why it is our job as a professional lawn care company to decide
what your particular lawn may need. We will tailor our applications
to fit your particular lawn's needs.
Why Should I Fertilize?
Your lawn is made up of thousands of individual grass plants and each
one needs food, water, and care just like people need these to maintain
a healthy life. If you don't provide these elements your lawn will
thin, brown and be taken over by weeds. (Remember your lawn is your
welcome mat and a great selling point for a home.)
Why should I use weed control?
Just as we remove unwanted pests in our lives to make
it easier, so should you for your lawn. Allowing weeds to live in
your lawn removes the necessary nutrients your grass plants need.
By using weed control correctly you will provide your grass with a
healthy living environment.

Lawn Aeration
Aeration is the process of mechanically removing small plugs of
thatch and soil from the lawn to improve natural soil aeration. The
benefits of the process are reduce soil complication, improves water
usage, improves fertilizer uptake, promotes healthier roots, reduces
thatch, and promotes a thicker lawn and prevents erosion.
Why should I Aerate?
Most lawns take a lot of abuse over the course of the year and
become compacted and lose their fertile topsoil. By opening up the
soil you allow it to breathe and become fertile topsoil again. You
will also allow fertilizers and water to penetrate the root system
more efficiently.
How often should I Aerate?
All lawns should be aerated once a year, however, some lawns that
have a heavy use or heavy clay could be done twice a year.
When should I Aerate?
The best time to aerate is in the spring or fall. If you
aerate in the spring, try to have it done by the middle of June. If
you do it in the fall, September is a good month in our area. It is
best to aerate and then apply your first winter application of fertilizer
and weed control.

Sulfur Application
Sulfur is an essential element your grass needs to maintain
a healthy plant. Sulfur will help your lawn retain nutrients it needs
to survive droughts and other stresses that will develop during a
growing season.

Insecticide
Insecticide applications can be used to control pests that
are infesting your grass plants or your trees and shrubs, however
only a professional lawn technician should decide to use insecticide.
There are many insects that can damage your grass plants or trees
and shrubs. It is important to identify the insect that is causing
the problem so proper control can be obtained, and unnecessary materials
are not used.
