Services & Scope of Work

1. Core Turf Maintenance Services

• Premium Mowing & Detailing: All lawn areas are mowed weekly at a height optimized for the specific grass species and current weather conditions to prevent heat stress. The service includes precision string trimming around all obstacles, trees, and fence lines, followed by a high-velocity blow-off of all hard surfaces, including patios, pool decks, and driveways. All clippings are either professionally mulched to return nutrients to the soil or bagged and removed if growth is excessive.

• Mechanical Vertical Edging: Technicians utilize specialized vertical power edgers to create a deep, crisp "V-trench" between all turf areas and hard surfaces like walkways and curbs. This process is performed every visit or every other visit to prevent grass encroachment and maintain a manicured, architectural look. Unlike string trimming, this provides a permanent, clean boundary that defines the property's lines.

• Core Aeration & Overseeding: Using heavy-duty commercial aerators, we remove thousands of soil plugs to relieve compaction and allow oxygen, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone. Immediately following aeration, we apply premium estate-grade grass seed tailored to your lawn's sunlight exposure to fill in thin spots and improve density. This service is essential for long-term turf resilience and is typically performed annually in the fall.

2. Advanced Agronomic & Soil Health

• Science-Based Fertilization: Our program begins with a professional soil chemistry analysis to determine the exact pH and nutrient needs of your land. We apply slow-release, granular fertilizers in 6–8 stages throughout the year to ensure a steady supply of nitrogen, potassium, and micronutrients. This prevents the "surge growth" associated with cheap fertilizers while promoting a deep, vibrant green color.

• Integrated Weed & Crabgrass Control: We utilize a dual-phase approach that begins with pre-emergent barriers in early spring to stop weed seeds from germinating. Throughout the season, technicians perform targeted spot-treatments for broadleaf weeds like dandelions and clover to ensure a 99% weed-free lawn. This proactive management reduces the need for heavy chemical "blanket sprays" later in the year.

• Grub & Surface Insect Shield: This preventative treatment targets subsurface larvae, such as white grubs, before they can destroy the lawn's root system. We also monitor for surface-feeding insects like chinch bugs and sod webworms that can cause rapid browning in the summer. By applying these pesticide treatments proactively, we protect your turf investment from sudden, costly damage.

3. Horticultural & Estate Care

• Arborist-Led Pruning & Shaping: Ornamental trees and shrubs are hand-pruned by trained technicians to maintain their natural habit, improve structural integrity, and encourage floral production. We ensure a minimum 8-foot vertical clearance over walkways and a 14-foot clearance over driveways for safety and aesthetics. This service includes the removal of all dead or diseased wood to prevent the spread of pathogens.

• Horticultural Bed Maintenance: Garden beds are hand-weeded and chemically suppressed monthly to ensure a completely clean appearance. We also provide "trench edging" for all mulch beds to create a distinct visual break between the lawn and the landscape. Perennials are deadheaded and cut back seasonally to promote continuous blooming and a tidy winter appearance.

• Premium Mulch Installation: We install a 2–3 inch layer of triple-shredded hardwood mulch or decorative bark to insulate root systems and retain soil moisture. Before installation, all beds are cleared of debris, and a pre-emergent weed barrier is applied to the soil. This service not only improves plant health but provides the professional "finished" look characteristic of high-end estates.

4. Seasonal & Technical Services

• Smart Irrigation Management: Our technicians perform a spring startup, monthly "wet tests" to check for leaks or broken heads, and a pressurized winterization blowout to prevent frozen pipes. We calibrate your controller seasonally to ensure the lawn receives the perfect amount of water without utility waste. We also check for proper head alignment to ensure water is not hitting windows, fences, or vehicles.

• Seasonal Color Rotations: We design and install high-impact floral displays twice or four times annually, featuring premium annuals like pansies for spring and mums for fall. These displays are strategically placed at entryways and focal points to maximize the property's curb appeal. Each rotation includes soil conditioning and fertilization to ensure the flowers remain vibrant throughout the season.

• Comprehensive Spring & Fall Cleanups: These services involve the total removal of all leaves, fallen branches, and winter debris that can suffocate the lawn if left untouched. In the spring, we prep all beds for the growing season, while the fall service includes a final "low-cut" mow and the application of winterizing nutrients to protect the turf during dormancy.
