Fertilization
Every now and again, lawns need to be fed because the soil is generally unable to give the grass all the nutrients it needs to be a strong, lush beautiful lawn. Depending on the area in which you live, the amount of water it receives, the type of grass you have will depend on the fertilizing treatment it ultimately needs. |

Weed Control
Weeds have the ability to overtake a lawn or turf and
smoother the quality grasses that are located there. With thousands of different types of weeds here in Pennsylvania, determining which
ones are in your lawn and what the best method to eliminate them so
they do not hurt your lush lawn is one of our specialties. |

 Grub Control
There are several types of white grubs that feed on the roots of lawn grasses. All of them can cause severe damage if left untreated.
Grubs live and feed in the soil. It's easy to miss them as they gradually cut the roots out from under your lawn until brown patches begin to appear and the grubs are finally discovered. Pull back the turf if you suspect grubs. If the lawn pulls up easily (like new sod), you may find white grubs in the top inch or so of the soil. |

Organic Fertilizer
Organic fertilizer comes from natural sources. They typically slowly release the nutrients into the soil which may have its pros and cons. They are naturally rich in many of the nutrients that chemical fertilizers are built to be rich in. |

 Lime
Lime "sweetens" your soil. In areas where soil is naturally "sour" (acid), lime is extremely important for growing healthy turf. Lime helps to improve lawn color and density, helps to control thatch, and increases root development. Our lime application helps to keep the chemistry of your soil in balance so that you can have, and enjoy , a thicker, greener, healthier lawn. |

Core Aeration
One of the techniques used to make sure that lawns do
not overgrow or become laden with disease is making sure the lawn
has enough air. Core aeration is a time consuming process that can
be very expensive the larger the lawn you have. Lawn aeration can be done anytime of the year as long as the ground is not frozen. Best times to do it is in early spring or late fall. |

 Soil Testing
If your lawn has been experiencing chronic growth problems, the reason may have to do with your soil. All soils are not created equal. In fact, soil is constantly changing. Nutrient elements in soil can become diminished due to plant growth, leaching or erosion. On the other hand, nutrient elements can increase in soil when fertilizer or compost are added. The best way to determine if your soil is supplying the required nutrients for healthy plant growth is to perform a soil test. Through soil testing, the current "fertility status" of your soil can be measured. This lets us know what nutrients may or may not be added to the soil to help it foster growth. |

roots, others that feed on stems and roots, and some that suck plants juice. There are even some insects that live in your lawn, but do not harm it in any way. Let our experts help you determine which insects are living in your lawn, how harmful and the best way to help control them. |
