Soil testing is a cost efficient way to properly diagnose exactly what is going on beneath the surface of your turf. We advise all lawn care clients to take advantage of this opportunity to achieve optimal lawn health and ideal aesthetic results.

Our technicians will collect a small sample of soil to be sent off to the lab for analysis – results typically take about 2 weeks to come in. The report will provide a breakdown of important nutrient and mineral levels within the soil, allowing us to choose the best possible products and usage amounts to obtain the lawn of your dreams.

We offer a variety of soil enhancement products designed to optimize plant health and nutrition. For persistently unhealthy lawns, mastering soil biology is key. These remedial amendments work to improve the soil’s moisture retention, nutrient levels, and microbiome activity, lending to the development of a plush and robust lawn. Soil enhancements are a great natural alternative to aeration, and are especially beneficial towards fostering growth in compacted/sandy soils.

This service involves top dressing an area with compost to improve soil quality through the introduction of vital nutrients and microbiomes. Compost is also used to level out areas with slopes or dips, mitigating damage from excessive water run off and pooling, while also helping to prevent soil erosion. Composting proves especially helpful in keeping new grass seed safe and secure throughout the entire germination process.

Aeration is a crucial procedure involving creating small perforations in the soil to enhance air, water, and nutrient penetration to grass roots. This fosters deep root growth for a robust and healthier lawn. We employ a comprehensive aeration method to maximize soil porosity. To maintain turf health we advise performing aeration at least once a year, typically in the Fall.

Enhancing your lawn through overseeding involves adding new grass seed to improve both its appearance and overall health. The advantages of overseeding an established lawn are manifold:

• • Establishing a dense, lush grass cover

• • Aiding recovery post-invasive treatments

• • Altering the lawn’s appearance or resilience

• • Repairing damage and thickening sparse areas before winter

• • Introducing new genetics for enhanced appearance and performance

• • Preventing weed infestation

• • Cultivating a thick sward to effectively deter weed growth

ethatching involves removing a dense a mat-like layer of organic matter build-up from the lawn (such as dead grass or mulched leaves). not always essential, a thin layer of thatch isn’t harmful & can be especially helpful in protecting new germination. This practice wields best results when performed in the Spring prior to applying any pre-emergent weed or insect control.

Sod installation is a viable approach to renovating lawns both big and small. Sod is great for repairing small areas of damaged/undesirable turf (ie. patches of bent grass) and is a wonderful solution to quickly establishing a new lawn.

Slice seeding is a lawn renovation technique using a machine to slice rows into the ground and implant grass seed directly into the soil. This practice is ideal for areas requiring special attention. By penetrating through the thatch layer, germination rates of seed are significantly enhanced.

Hydroseeding is a remediation technique that increases grass seed germination rates by encapsulating the seed in a moisture sealant. This method is especially helpful in renovating difficult spots, such as steep hills or slopes, while also aiding to prevent excessive water run-off and soil erosion. Our talented technicians will handle all preparation required in addition to the application.
