Lawn Maintenance
Our lawn maintenance includes weekly mowing, edging, and trimming during growing seasons, with winter debris removal. We use grass-cycling to enrich soil and ensure clean, even cuts tailored to your turfs needs. Our team polices debris and adjusts mowing practices to maintain optimal lawn health year-round.
Organic Fertilizer
We apply Holganix compost tea to replenish soil microbes and nutrients, reducing chemical dependency. Our 7-step program includes seasonal applications to strengthen root systems, suppress weeds, and promote eco-friendly lawn health safe for families and pets.

Core aeration and overseeding are scheduled in late summer to improve soil contact and seed germination. We leave soil plugs to decompose naturally, enhancing turf density and resilience while advising clients on post-service care to maximize results.
