Lawn Care Program

Our lawn care programs provide guaranteed results which typically includes five visits to your property spaced throughout the growing season.  It's preferable that our ornamental and lawn care and tree care expert meet with you on your property in order to understand your expectations.  In addition, we will explain what your growing conditions are, the lawn composition and plant material you have in your landscape and review plant health and site conditions.

Recent concerns regarding nutrient runoff has affected the fertilizatiom regime in our area.  We take into consideration what the soil and plant conditions are and avoid "over-applying" fertilizer.  We use slow release granular blends of fertilizer on the lawn and will use hand held blowers to blow any granuals that find their way into the driveway, walkway and street, back into the lawn area.  The product is then in the turf where it belongs, reducing runoff into storm drains and not wasting product or money.
