Great lawns and landscapes need proper drainage, proper watering, and good soil. The best way to improve your soil without flat out replacing it, is by aeration, topdressing, and a comprehensive fertilizer program. When it comes to feeding your lawn and landscape, it is important to treat the soil as well as the plant.
Our program is designed to encourage healthy alive soil as well as healthy lush turf and plants. Our granular fertilizer works to build the soil sturcture and feed the microorganisms, as well as giving you the slow release benefit as the product breaks down. Once we spread the granular fertilizer we spray the turf and flower beds with John's Recipe for foliar feeding and Agrispon for microorganism soil building. This drenches your landscape and soil with vital nutrients to encourage the lushness you desire. This also helps in regards to your cities water restrictions. Since we are spraying your lawn after each granular application, then there is no need for you to "water it in" aside from your normal watering schedule. Each product for each application is specifically chosen to work with one another, offering you a complete approach for your property.
We offer 5 applications a year. The schedule is as follows:

A good fertilizer program is just a starting point for a properly maintained yard. Other factors that need to be considered are mowing height, water frequency and depth, aeration and mulch. We take all factors into consideration when determining the proper height your lawn should be mowed at. More shade requires taller grass blades and St. Augustine grass needs to be maintained taller then Bermuda grass. Water usage during the summer is a lot higher then during the winter, so having your sprinkler system adjusted each season is crucial to proper growth and prevention of disease and pest infestation. If your soil is too compacted due to people or pet traffic, you may need to aerate so that the roots can get air and water. Taking each of these factors into consideration will go a long way towards a healthy lush lawn that you can enjoy.
