Lawn Care
Expert Lawn Care Services
Keep your lawn exceptionally lush, healthy, and resilient with our comprehensive care solutions. A truly beautiful lawn is the result of consistent, knowledgeable care that goes far beyond simple mowing. We provide a complete, season-long strategy to nourish your turf, protect it from pests, and eliminate unsightly weeds. From critical disease control and balanced fertilization to targeted weed and insect management, we ensure your lawn is a stunning, green carpet you can be proud of.
Your lawn is a living, breathing ecosystem that faces numerous challenges throughout the year in Central New York—from the summer heat and drought stress to invasions by aggressive weeds, damaging insects, and pervasive diseases. Our professional lawn care programs are designed to proactively address these challenges. We combine deep horticultural knowledge with high-quality products to deliver a suite of services that work in harmony to foster deep root growth, vibrant color, and the thick, dense turf that is naturally more resistant to stress and pests.
Core Lawn Care & Maintenance
Lawn Mowing Services: Professional mowing is the cornerstone of routine lawn maintenance. We do more than just shorten your grass; we practice proper turf management. This includes maintaining an ideal cutting height (typically 3-4 inches for cool-season grasses) to promote deeper root growth and shade out weeds, ensuring our mower blades are sharpened daily for a clean cut that prevents tearing and disease, and varying our mowing patterns to prevent ruts and encourage upright growth.
Lawn Health & Nutrition
Fertilization: A well-fed lawn is a healthy lawn. Our tailored fertilization programs are designed to provide your turf with the precise nutrients it needs throughout the growing season. We use balanced, slow-release fertilizers that feed your lawn steadily over time, promoting strong, consistent growth without the excessive surge that can weaken the turf. This approach ensures your grass has the resources for vibrant color, disease resistance, and robust health.
Lime & Iron Applications: Soil pH is a critical, yet often overlooked, component of lawn health. The soil in our region tends to be acidic, which can prevent grass from absorbing vital nutrients. We perform lime applications to balance the soil pH, “unlocking” the full potential of fertilizers. When necessary, we can also apply iron supplements to correct deficiencies, providing a deep, rich green color that indicates true plant health.
Pest & Weed Management
Weed, Crabgrass, and Grub Control: Unwanted plants and pests are the primary enemies of a beautiful lawn. Our integrated approach includes:
Weed Control: We apply both pre-emergent treatments to stop weeds before they can sprout and post-emergent applications to eliminate existing broadleaf weeds like dandelions and clover.
Crabgrass Control: This aggressive annual grass is best stopped early. Our pre-emergent applications create a barrier that prevents crabgrass seeds from germinating in the spring.
Grub Control: White grubs, the larvae of Japanese beetles and other insects, feed on grass roots, causing devastating damage in late summer and fall. Our preventative grub control is applied in early summer to eliminate these pests before they can harm your lawn.
Insects, Flea & Tick Control: Beyond just the health of your lawn, we care about the health of your family and pets. Our surface insect control services manage pests like chinch bugs and sod webworms that feed on grass blades. Additionally, our targeted flea and tick control applications create a protective barrier around your property, significantly reducing the population of these dangerous pests in your lawn and landscape beds, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space with greater peace of mind.
Advanced Turf Renovation Services
Aeration, Overseeding, and Dethatching: Over time, lawns can become compacted and choked with thatch (a layer of dead grass and roots). These services are key to long-term vitality:
Core Aeration: We use specialized equipment to pull small plugs of soil from your lawn, relieving compaction. This allows water, oxygen, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the root zone, revitalizing growth.
Dethatching / Power Raking: This process involves vigorously raking and removing the thick layer of thatch that can suffocate your lawn and prevent moisture from reaching the soil.
