Timely yard maintenance
Core Aeration and Over-seeding. As we continue this summer’s drought, there has never been a better time to consider doing core aeration and overseeding. This will help revitalize the brown patches we are all seeing.
This is a mechanical process that pulls plugs from your lawn in order to relieve soil compaction and increase turf root growth. After this process, the lawn is ready for overseeding. Spot thatching and hand raking is done where needed. This is a key step in the seeding process and helps prepare the soil to aid in seed germination.
We perform a double pass, with the second pass on a cross pattern, to ensure maximum coverage. Aeration allows the lawn to breathe and allows better water and nutrient penetration to the root zone. Relieving soil compaction allows for quicker root spread, which also thickens the turf and provides drought protection for a healthier stand of turf.
Flea / Tick / Mosquito Suppression. This is the time of year when ticks and mosquitoes are breeding, and ticks are looking for their next meal. We treat their hiding places so that the next generation doesn’t get started. Our monthly applications help keep these pests to a minimum so you can enjoy your outdoor spaces.
Spotted Lanternfly Suppression. The adult SLFs are still feeding and getting ready to lay their egg masses. We apply monthly treatments in order to combat any month’s life cycle and population. One treatment alone is not enough for season-long suppression. Treating now, especially at this time when adults are preparing to mate, will help kill the adults and prevent them from laying the eggs for next year’s attacking horde.
