Grub Proofing

This treatment is a blanket preventive control called Merit. This material must be applied in the months of May-June. The material is absorbed through the plants root system and becomes part of the plant itself. This process takes several months to take place, once the grubs come in the fall the plants are protected from damage. This treatment is an additional charge from the regular 5-step program. 

Core Aeration(Spring-Fall)

A mechanical aerator will go over your lawn pulling thousands of soil cores and spreading them on the surface. This will allow water, air and fertilizer to reach the grass roots and soil level. It will also reduce thatch build up and keep the soil from compacting. This treatment is an additional charge from the regular 5-step program. 

Over Seeding (Fall)

This is done with core aeration. A custom seed blend is applied to the lawn after aeration. The seeds fall into the thousands of holes creating a good seed-soil contact.  This is only done in fall. This treatment is an additional charge from the regular 5 step program.

Slice Seeding (Fall)

This process is for lawns that are in need of complete repair. The machine will slice a grove through the dead grass and thatch layer into the soil, then it deposits the grass seed into the soil allowing for great seed-soil contact. This process works very well on lawns that have suffered grub damage or other insect damage. This treatment is an additional charge from the regular 5-step program

2nd Crabgrass Control

This 2nd treatment is a post control product, and will knock down any crabgrass plants that make it through the barrier. This product is very expensive and selective (only controls crabgrass) so there is an additional charge.

Preventive Fungicide

Diseases have plagued some lawns in the past few years. In most cases red thread has been the worst. If your lawn has been struggling with disease problems a preventive control maybe in order.

Mosquito Control

This is a totally new idea in bug control. The product sprayed is not a pesticide but a mixture of garlic and canola oil. It will kill mosquitoes on contact and will keep them out of the treated area for 2-3 weeks. Several sprayings are needed throughout the season.
