Lawn mowing
Lawns will be mowed weekly. Proper cultural practices are strictly maintained, which means that lawns will be mowed at their optimum height (usually 3"), blades will be kept sharp, clippings will be mulched back into the lawn as bagging is avoided when possible, mowing direction will be alternated to eliminate ruts and extra mowings will be offered in the Spring so that no more than 30% of the grass height is removed in one mowing.
Edges will be trimmed using a string trimmer and all hard surfaces will be cleared of all clippings using a blower.
Lawn fertilizing
Four lawn applications are offered per year. Spring, early Summer, late Summer and Autumn. High grade fertilizer with various formulations optimized to the timing of the application and needs of the lawn will be applied. We prefer slow release granular fertilizer as it lasts longer and has a much lower burn potential for your lawn.
Weed control
Liquid selective weed control is applied along with lawn fertilizer but only as needed. No more than two complete coverage sprayings will occur per year. Spot spraying is preferred as it only applies what is necessary for the job at hand.
The Spring fertilizer application includes pre-emergent summer annual control. A commonly known summer annual is crabgrass which can be prevented by pre-emergents and not scalping the lawn.
Lawn insect and disease control
Lawn problems will be diagnosed and a treatment offered. Both preventative and curative measures will be employed. Grub control is offered with the early Summer fertilizer application.
