Controlling thatch is one of the most important and most overlooked parts of lawn care. Thatch is simply the layer of dead grass, roots, and debris that accumulates between the soil surface and the green grass blades above.
Removing soil plugs helps to increase oxygen levels and strengthen the grass' roots. It allows water and nutrients to travel to the roots. This helps the roots grow deeply and produce a stronger, more vigorous lawn.
Fertilizing influences grass color, ability to recover from stress, and helps prevent weed invasions and disease. Nitrogen is every lawn's most important ingredient, and each type of grass demands different amounts to display peak growth and performance.
Weeds compete with grass for water, sunlight and nutrients. Because most weeds grow at such an astounding rate, they often absorb more of one nutrient than another, leaving an imbalance.
Lawns can become vulnerable to pests and disease for many reasons. Its important to not only treat the problem, but to also figure out what might be causing it.
Seasonal yard cleanups are a vital part of taking care of your yard. From dethatching and aeration to just simply removing what fall and winter left behind. We do it all.
Leaves that pile up can form a heavy mass that can kill or damage grass and ornamental plants. Matted leaves block sunlight and reduce water evaporation, which can cause fungus, mold and disease.
