Services
6 Granular Fertilizations
Our six-application fertilization program delivers precise nutrient timing across seasons. Using calibrated equipment, we apply granular formulations at optimal intervals to promote consistent growth and vibrant color throughout the growing season.
Soil Rejuvenation
We restore soil health with humic acids, probiotic microbes, and organic material. This foundational treatment improves nutrient absorption, drought resistance, and microbial activity to support stronger root systems and more resilient turf.
Tick and Flea Reduction
Our integrated pest management targets ticks and fleas while minimizing environmental impact. Systematic treatments create safer outdoor spaces without compromising lawn health, using EPA-registered products applied by certified technicians.
Spike Seeding
Mechanical spike seeding breaks through compacted soil while planting premium grass seed. This dual-action process improves air exchange, water penetration, and turf density to fill bare spots and combat thinning lawns.
Winterizer with Lime
Our winterization treatment combines limestone application with cold-weather nutrients. This restores soil pH balance while strengthening grass crowns against freezing temperatures, ensuring faster green-up in spring.
