MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS

Standard Program (6 annual visits)
• For thinner, new lawns or established lawns just returning to regular maintenance
• Early Spring, Mid Spring, Late Spring, Summer, Early Fall and Late Fall

This is our 6-step plan that is comprised of both liquid and granular applications designed to cover all your lawn’s needs from fertilization to crabgrass and weed control. We use only premium organic-based, slow-release fertilizers to provide nutrients to the lawn over a longer period of time without the surge of top growth that comes from quick-release fertilizers. To address the higher pressure from weeds, broadleaf weed controls are applied in the spring and fall, blanketing the entire lawn-the most effective way to get weeds under control. For improved crabgrass control, pre-emergent controls are applied in each of the first two spring applications. This “split application” technique allows us to achieve better control without using excess pesticide. Also included with this program are two free soil pH tests (during Early Spring and Late Fall) to determine if a lime application would benefit. As with all of our maintenance programs, the Standard Program can be tailored to fit both you and your lawns individual needs.

Recommended Program (5 annual visits)
• For established lawns under regular maintenance
• Early Spring, Late Spring, Summer, Early Fall and Late Fall

This is our preferred maintenance program, covering your lawn’s fertility, crabgrass and weed control needs with 5 timely visits throughout the year. We use only premium organic-based, slow-release fertilizers because they last longer, and provide more substantial nutrients than quick-release fertilizers. We address broadleaf weeds during each visit with liquid weed control to keep seasonal, annual, and perennial weeds in check utilizing an IPM (Integrated Pest Management) approach. Also included with this program are two free soil pH tests (during Early Spring and Late Fall) to determine if a lime application would benefit. As with all of our maintenance programs, the Recommended Program can be tailored to fit both you and your lawns individual needs.

Shady Lawn Program ( 5 annual visits) (Back to top)
• For new and established predominately shady lawns.
• Early Spring, Late Spring, Summer, Early Fall and Late Fall

This program addresses your lawn’s special requirements under lower light conditions and more competition from trees. This program uses organic-based fertilizers and IPM (Integrated Pest Management) weed controls to promote healthy turf growth from spring through fall. Weed controls are applied on an “as needed” basis during each application. Crabgrass is treated with a post-emergent application in early summer due to its lower pressure in shady conditions. This will allow for seeding the thinner areas as needed throughout the growing season without being restricted due to prior pre-emergent or weed control applications. Also included with this program are two free soil pH tests (during Early Spring and Late Fall) to determine if a lime application would benefit. As with all of our maintenance programs, the Shady Lawn Program can be tailored to fit both you and your lawns individual needs.

Organic Program (5 annual visits) (Back to top)
• Pesticide Free (no weed controls, insect controls or disease controls)
• Early Spring, Late Spring, Summer, Early Fall and Late Fall

This program consists of five timely applications, made up of slow-release, organic nutrients to promote deep root growth and consistent greening. This program does not include any broadleaf or grassy weed controls. However, if you are interested in controlling crabgrass (annual grassy weed) you may substitute an organic-based fertilizer with crabgrass pre-emergent as your early spring application. If broadleaf weeds (dandelions, clover, ground ivy, etc.) become unruly, you may add or substitute an application of weed control in the fall. (Fall is the best time of the year to control perennial broadleaf weeds). Also included with this program are two free soil pH tests (during Early Spring and Late Fall) to determine if a lime application would benefit. As with all of our maintenance programs, the Organic Program can be tailored to fit both you and your lawns individual needs.
