Lawn Care Program and Services
Basic Lawn Care Program
Our Organic Lawn Care Programs are customized to fit the needs of your lawn using a variety of the best organics. The very basic program includes 4 fertilization applications, based on the needs of homeowners and businesses in the Southeastern Michigan area:
March/April and October
Corn Gluten: Pre-emergent that naturally kills weeds as they sprout. Completely non-toxic, this nitrogen rich supplement makes Corn Gluten an ideal weed and feed for your lawn.
Mid May
Granular: a premium turf food containing a blend of natural ingredients: hummate, potassium sulfate, ammonium sulfate, soy meal, kelp extract, iron hematite, dextrose, and soil bacteria. Formulated for use as a turf supplement and soil conditioner to introduce critical growth-stimulating micro-organisms into the soil.
June and August
Compost Tea: Supplies the microbial and fungal populations to the root system that affect soil in relation to nutrition, development and health. The beneficial organisms, found in the tea, colonize the soil and trigger beneficial effects and enhance the nutritional function for grasses, which means greener, healthier, and lush organic lawns.
July
Predatory Nematodes: Used for soil insect control, these microscopic organisms rid your soil of harmful insects that effect the balance and appearance of your lawn.
Lawn Maintenance and Seasonal Services
Spring or Early Fall
Slit Seeding: A slit seeding is recommended yearly to crowd out weed growth and ensure a lush lawn. The seed is injected into the soil to protect it from wind and pests as well as making direct contact with the soil for better germination.
Soil Aeration: Recommended in April and October, aeration opens up the compact soil and improves permeability. It increases the activity of soil microorganisms that decompose thatch while increasing water, nutrient and oxygen movement into the soil. It improves rooting and enhances infiltration of rainfall and water. Also, it helps prevent fertilizer run-off from overly compacted areas.
Tree and Shrub Feedings Spring and Fall is the best time to feed your trees and shrubs. Some may require more attention than others. Our horticulturalist will prescribe a custom program for your trees and shrubs.
