It is also the best way to help correct the worst problem we have in this area à Excessive thatch buildup. Why is thatch a problem? Common Lawn Problems

Natural Grub Control :

White grubs can damage your lawn by chewing up the roots of your grass. We've found that healthy lawns, fertilized organically and aerated twice per year, have less of a problem with grubs, than typical chemically fertilized lawns. They can be a problem anywhere however.

Our Grub-Away application is totally natural, non-toxic and won't harm beneficial organisms. One application in the late summer or early fall will take care of your grub problem for an entire year. Note: Our grub control is much more effective when thoroughly watered in after an application.Back to the top

Laboratory Soil Analysis:
In some cases plants just don’t perform the way we want them to. Have you always had a certain problem area in the lawn? Are you planting a new garden? Do you want to plant new tree’s or shrubs? A soil test can help provide answers and solutions to these situations. We’ve found that our fertilizers can correct minor deficincies, but if there is a major problem it can’t hurt to get a better picture of your soil.. If you’re thinking adding new plants, or planting a garden, it is always a good idea to soil test first then match the plants to the soil you have instead of trying to change the soil to match the plants you pick out.

Lawn Renovation & Replacement :

If your lawn is in bad shape it may be worth it to give it a little rejuvination. There a few different options that we offer, it would be a good idea to contact us for a personal consultation so we can inspect and recommend an approach for your needs.

Aeration & Overseeding
If your lawn isn’t to bad, we can aerate and overseed to breathe some new life into it. This is the most economical renovation option. We’ll aerate your lawn heavily, and follow by broadcasting high quality grass seed over the entire lawn. All lawns (even beautiful lawns) can benefit from occasional overseeding. Expected Results: You will see an increased thickness of your lawn, the newer varieties will be more resistant to insects, disease, and other problems.

Light Renovation & Replacement
A Light Renovation involves a very light tilling of the soil, soil balancing, and re-seeding into the fresh soil. It will not fix major drainage or grading problems, but will give you a new lawn look.

Note: If you have undesirable grasses (bentrass, nimblewill, or southern grasses) or heavy weed populations we recommend using soil solarization or roundup to eliminate them prior to renovation.

Soil solarization involves covering the lawn area with clear plastic for one – two months beginning in late July. Solarization is great because it doesn’t involve chemicals, it kills the undesirable grasses, weeds, and weed seeds in the soil.

If you aren’t worried about totally removing the undesirable species, we can just till in everything and establish a stand of healthy turf, which will do a good job of combating undesirable species.

Total Renovation & Replacement
We recommend this option for large lawns or lawns with grading problems. We’ll till the soil and add topsoil and organic matter where necessary in order to prepare your lawn for seeding.
