Lawn Care Programs
Our lawn care programs use slow-release fertilizers with essential nutrients to promote robust turf growth. Tailored to New Hampshire's climate, these programs include six seasonal applications, targeted weed and grub control, and optional aeration and overseeding. By focusing on soil health and disease prevention, we create resilient lawns that require fewer chemical treatments while maintaining optimal beauty and vitality.
Tick and Mosquito Control
This service applies plant-based treatments from April through October to create protective barriers against ticks and mosquitoes. Using Chrysanthemum-derived products safe for families and pets, our specialists target nesting areas while minimizing environmental impact. Monthly applications adapt to seasonal pest activity cycles, effectively reducing populations without compromising pollinators or local ecosystems.
Tree and Shrub Program
Designed for ornamental trees and shrubs, this program combines root zone fertilization with targeted pest management. Two seasonal fertilizations and three pest control treatments protect against common insects like aphids and Japanese beetles. Licensed specialists use root injections and foliar sprays to enhance plant vitality while addressing specific pest threats through environmentally responsible methods.
Lawn Aeration and Overseeding
This fall service reduces soil compaction and thatch buildup through core aeration, followed by overseeding. Aerating creates pathways for water and nutrients while overseeding introduces disease-resistant grass varieties. The process strengthens turf density and improves drought tolerance, typically performed during cooler fall months when grass growth is most active and lawns recover efficiently from summer stress.
Bed Weed Control
Our five-visit bed weed control program prevents and eliminates weeds through seasonal treatments. Starting with pre-emergent barriers in April, we follow with targeted post-emergent applications through August. This systematic approach maintains clean planting beds around patios and walkways by addressing both annual and perennial weeds while minimizing chemical usage through precision application techniques.
Questions
What is Plant Health Care (PHC) and how does it benefit my landscape?
PHC is a systematic approach that uses cultural practices and selective treatments to improve plant health while reducing chemical dependency. Our programs use slow-release fertilizers, targeted pest control, and cultural maintenance to create stronger, more resilient landscapes with fewer treatments required.
How do your lawn care programs differ from competitors?
We use slow-release granular fertilizers containing biological metabolites and micro-nutrients rather than basic liquid formulas. This allows us to achieve better results in six visits instead of seven while promoting long-term soil health and reducing chemical dependency.
What pest control methods ensure safety for children and pets?
Our Tick and Mosquito program uses plant-based products derived from Chrysanthemum flowers. These treatments effectively control pests while remaining safe for families and pets when applied according to our specialists' instructions and allowed to dry properly.
How do seasonal weather conditions affect treatments?
We adjust application timing based on seasonal conditions - spring focuses on regrowth preparation, summer uses heat-resistant formulations, and fall emphasizes winterization. Our technicians monitor local climate patterns to optimize treatment effectiveness throughout New Hampshire's 30-week growing season.
Can lawn renovation services help severely damaged grass?
Yes, our slice seeding process effectively restores drought or insect-damaged lawns by cutting grooves in soil for optimal seed placement. This method achieves over 90% germination rates when combined with proper watering, making complete lawn replacement unnecessary in most cases.
How does thatch buildup affect lawn health?
Thatch layers exceeding half an inch prevent water and nutrients from reaching roots while creating disease-prone environments. Our core aeration and overseeding services break down thatch naturally, improving soil aeration and encouraging healthier root development without excessive chemical treatments.
