Soil Health (The Foundation of Lawn Success)
Healthy soil equals healthy roots and plants. On your first visit, we will assess your soil to determine its needs. We focus on soil science, so we can recommend the right treatments that will provide long-term results. We avoid wasting your money by applying unnecessary nutrients and only use what’s best for your lawn. We care about the environment and use products that are safe and beneficial.
Fertilizers and Sustainable Practices
Proper fertilization is one of the keys for a healthy lawn. Over-fertilizing can lead to excessive growth, runoff, and environmental harm. Our approach ensures your lawn gets the right nutrients at the right time, supporting beneficial soil micro-organisms like worms, nematodes, and bacteria. We focus on sustainable treatments that are safe for the environment and avoid harmful products like fillers, metals or sewage sludge.
Aeration: Maintaining Lawn Health
Aeration is the solution for lawns suffering from compaction. It helps the soil absorb oxygen, rain, and nutrients, improving root growth, encourages deep roots, improves tolerance to heat, drought and diseases, reduces weeds. We recommend aeration as required to promote healthy lawn growth. With time, foot traffic or high clay content soils get hard.
DIY Tips for Healthy Lawns
Here are a few key tips to keep your lawn thriving:
- Have a sharp mulching blade, never remove more than 1/3 , mow and trim to 3 inches.
- Change mowing direction each time to promote straight growth.
- Water is the most important than anything! Water your lawn deeply but infrequently, ensuring it gets at least 1-2 inch of water or rain weekly.
- Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can harm your lawn’s health and the environment.
The Reality of Lawn Care... it is Maintenance
While we aim for the best lawn results, nature always rules. We will always be fighting to control weeds, pests and diseases that will require special treatments. We work with you and ensure your lawn stays as healthy as possible.
There are areas where grass will not grow or in this case a client who had a vision-no grass!- we designed and installed a low maintenance garden, lots of ground covers and rocks. Bob A. had the vision we made it happen
