Lawn Services - Fertilizing Program:

(Both Organic and Chemical Lawn Programs Offered)

1. Spring – Fertilization (heavy rate) for fast growing and long lasting green lawn.  Also use Pre-emergent Control – this will control crabgrass, henbit, knotweed, annual blue grass, purslane and many others. 

2. Late Spring – Fertilization plus weed control if needed. 

3. Summer – Fertilization (slow rate). 

4. Fall – Fertilization (double rate) to add essential nitrogen to help thicken the root system 

5. Late Fall – Fertilization to encourage early spring growth. 

6. Grub Control - Fall marks a peak feeding time for grubs as they fatten up before winter. Once soil temperatures drop, grubs dig in, heading 4 to 8 inches below ground, where they’ll stay until spring. That means early fall – before temperatures drop– is a key time to go after grubs, and as a result you can help prevent some of the most common lawn problems before they start.

Soil Testing – This is recommended every three years to measure the proper pH of the soil.  The cost for this procedure is $30.00         

 Other possible options at an extra cost:

1. Dethatching 

2. Liming 

3. Aeration 

4. Seeding

5. Disease control

6. Geese Control

7. Organic lawn program

Spraying Services:

Deer Tick Spray – Yards with woody areas and a lot of deer should be sprayed every 4 – 6 weeks to help control the ticks.  Can be applied anytime in the season. 

(Both Organic and Chemical Sprays Offered)

Geese Control – A repellent to keep the Canadian Geese out of your yard.

Spraying for Trees and Shrubs:

Hemlock Spray – Dormant oil spray applied to hemlocks for the control of wooly adelgid.  If hemlocks are infested with woolly adelgid, a second dormant oil spray is highly recommended. This spray can be applied any time during the spraying season.

First Spray – Dormant Spray – This is applied to trees and evergreens for the control of spruce bud gall, aphids, mites and scale.

Second Spray – This is applied to control inchworm, sawfly, cutworm, tent caterpillars, gypsy moths, all chewing insects and scale in the crawling stage, and birch leaf miner.

Third Spray – This is the same as the second spray.

Special Spray – This is applied to all evergreens and rhododendrons, laurels, and azaleas.  It is used to control leaf lacewing fly, red spider, mites, aphids and leaf miner.

Fungicide Spray – This is applied to trees for cedar apple rust, anthracnose, leaf spot, powdery mildew, black spot, etc.  We saw a large increase in cedar apple rust in the past 2 years.  If you have an apple or crab apple tree, it should be sprayed 3 or 4 times to control the problem.

Deer Repellent - Applied to trees and shrubs so deer will not eat them.
