Beneficial services: Fescue aeration and seeding- Turf type tall fescue does not spread and may need seeding to thicken turf and repair summer damage. Aeration is needed along with the seeding to improve better seed to soil contact. In this area we begin fescue seeding near the end of September and continue through October. The service will include core aeration, quality fescue seed and seedling care instructions. Contact our office to request a price quote for your lawn.
Lime- Most soils in our area are naturally acidic with a low pH. Lime will help increase the soil pH over time and make nutrients more available to the grass as well as improve efficacy of weed controls. Lime is a natural product and a cost effective way to help your grass get the most from our treatments.
Even under the best lawn maintenance program, concerns or issues may arise between treatments due to seasonal, weather, or any number of causes or conditions. The annual treatment program includes three free service calls to address any concerns.
