Plant Healthcare and Organic Lawn Fertilization Pictures

All of our programs are developed by our own staff plant pathologist and follow an integrated approach to plant and lawn health care (IPM). We only use controls when necessary; all of our products are environmentally sensitive and approved by the EPA.

Estate Program (Six Step)

This premier lawn Management programs gives your lawn what it needs to be the envy of the neighborhood. Other companies will give you a low ball price to get in the door and then try to sell you upgrades like core aeration and grub control. Our program gives you what you need at the right price.

Basic Program (Five Step)

This program is designed for a tighter budget and gives your lawn basic weeds controls and fertilizers to make your lawn green and healthy.

Organic Program

Developed for our clients that want to take an all natural approach and are willing to tolerate certain weeds or insects. This program includes two aerations, seeding, lime, and gypsum.

Core Aeration

This cultural practice is imperative for a healthy lawn in our region. This process removes soil cores from your turf allowing air and nutrients to reach root zones. It also relieves soil compaction, allowing roots to expand and flourish. An added benefit is that it breaks down the thatch layer that can harbor damaging insects and disease.

Grub Control

Grubs start down deep in the ground below the frost line until soil temperatures start to rise. As temperatures increase, grubs make their way up to the surface where they can find moisture and organic matter. This is normally about two inches below your lawn, in the middle of your grass roots. As grubs feed, they destroy your lawns valuable root system. Symptoms and signs of grub infestations are; browning of turf areas, birds, skunks, and other animals digging in specific locations or lawn areas rolling up like a carpet do to a severed root system. This is only half the story, as grubs are the larvae of adult beetles that feed on the foliage of your valuable trees, shrubs, and flowers, which will ruin landscapes.

Lime Application

PH measures how acid or basic your soil is. If you own a pool you know how important it is to get it right. You get the most out of your chlorine when the PH is just right. The same goes with your lawn. If the ph is in balance (for lawns that is 6.5-7) you will get more out of fertilizers when they are applied. Also grass grows best at a neutral PH, moss and weeds grow best at a low PH. We can perform a simple test to determine the PH of your soil and make the proper adjustments.

Gypsum Application

Over the winter months your soil takes a beating from road salts and other pollutants. These types of contaminants kill beneficial earth worms and micro-organisms that further healthy soil. Gypsum revitalizes soils and improves soil structure bestowing a better base for your turf grass.

Mole Control

If you have ever had a mole you know how tenacious they can be. You've probably tried smoke bombs or even piping car exhaust into burrows! We have studied the behavior of moles, and use effective strategic placed low impact traps that capture moles in their running tunnels. A common mistake made is that traps are placed in feeding tunnels that moles may not revisit. Another myth is that moles feed primarily on grubs. In fact their primary food source is earthworms. The challenge is that we need earth worms in the soil for healthy soil and turf.

Arbor Care Program

We patrol your trees and shrubs throughout the season and inspect them at each visit for insect, disease, and physical damage. We treat infestations over threshold numbers (enough to damage plants) and make notes of improper cultural methods (mulch to high, weed whackers damaging trunks, etc.).

Systemic Injection

This scientific approach to tree care protects your arbors from the inside out. Like a vaccine, the material is injected into the cambium of the tree or root zones of shrubs. The material is transferred up the plant into leaves were it will control pests when they start to feed. We also use this method if a tree is overhanging a pond or a home or in very sensitive situations
