Services
What we do on your lawn
Every program is built from these. Most can also be booked on their own for a lawn that isn't on a program yet.
Soil testing
Plugs from several spots, a lab sample and a one-page result in plain words.
Organic matter, pH and compaction
Repeated each spring on Build
Core aeration
A machine pulls plugs so air, water and roots can get down into clay.
Spring or early September
Plugs left on the lawn to break down
Overseeding
Seed goes into the aerated lawn so thin turf fills in before frost.
Kentucky bluegrass and turf-type fescue
A watering plan for new seed
Compost topdressing
A thin layer of screened compost worked into the turf feeds the soil.
Usually after seeding
Applied by spreader, not by shovel
Hand weeding and spot treatment
We pull what we can and spot-treat what we can't.
Broadleaf weeds in the lawn
Chelated-iron spot treatment, OMRI Listed
Seasonal feeding
Slow-release fertilizer matched to the soil test.
OMRI Listed fertilizer
Spring, late spring and late October
What we will not do
Four things you won't hear from us
A short list, so the program means what it says.
Synthetic fertilizers or herbicides
Not on any program. If a lawn needs more than we use, we'll say so before anything goes down.
A product with no label shown
Every product on your card is named by type, and the label is ours to hand over.
Application on frozen ground or standing water
The visit moves. We text you the new day.
A promise about next year's lawn
Soil changes over seasons, not weeks. The test shows where it is and where it's going.
Questions
Before you book a service
Which grass seed do you use?
A blend of Kentucky bluegrass and turf-type tall fescue for Front Range lawns. If your lawn is mostly fescue or has a shady corner, we'll say so in the estimate and match the blend.
Do you mow?
No. We give you a mowing height and a watering note at every visit, and your own mower or mowing service does the rest.
What should I do before you arrive?
Mow a day or two before, pick up hoses, toys and dog bowls, and leave gates unlatched or tell us the code. You don't need to be home.
Ready for a soil test?
We pull plugs, measure the lawn and write up what the soil needs.
