Maintaining a healthy and beautiful lawn requires regular attention and care, especially during the growing seasons. By following consistent maintenance practices, you can keep your lawn looking lush and vibrant throughout the year. Here’s a breakdown of the key maintenance tasks involved in caring for your lawn:

1. Basic Lawn Maintenance Program

Our basic lawn maintenance service includes essential tasks to keep your yard tidy and well-maintained:

• General Mowing: Regular mowing keeps your lawn at an optimal height, promoting healthy grass growth and preventing overgrowth.
• Edging: Neatly trimming along the edges of driveways, walkways, flower beds, and other areas to create clean lines and a polished appearance.
• Leaf Blowing: Clearing leaves, grass clippings, and debris from hard surfaces such as patios, walkways, and driveways, leaving your yard clean and tidy.

2. Lawn Improvement Services

In addition to the basics, we offer a range of lawn improvement services that go beyond simple maintenance. These services help to enhance the overall health and appearance of your lawn:

• New Sod Installation: For lawns that need a fresh start, we install high-quality sod to quickly establish a lush, green lawn.
• Thatching: We remove the layer of dead grass and organic matter (thatch) that can build up on your lawn, improving air and water circulation.
• Aerating: By perforating the soil, aeration allows water, air, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the grass roots, promoting a stronger and more resilient lawn.
• Seeding: We add grass seed to thin or patchy areas to encourage consistent and even growth across your lawn.
• Fertilization: Our fertilization service provides your lawn with essential nutrients to maintain its rich green color and overall health.
• Weed and Feed: This service combines weed control with fertilization, targeting unwanted plants while nourishing your grass to help it thrive.

Our goal is to provide comprehensive lawn care that ensures your outdoor space remains healthy and visually appealing throughout the growing seasons. Regular maintenance, coupled with these improvement services, can keep your yard looking its best from early Spring to late Fall.

New Carpet for Your Yard: Sod installation is like laying down new carpet for your yard, quickly giving you a fresh, lush surface to enjoy.
