Services
Organic fertilizing
Our OMRI-certified organic fertilizers enrich soil with balanced nutrients, promoting microbial activity and root development. Unlike synthetic options, our treatments avoid harmful chemicals, ensuring safer lawns for families and pets. By improving soil structure, we enhance drought resistance and reduce erosion, delivering long-term environmental benefits.
Compost tea
Aerated compost tea delivers concentrated microorganisms and nutrients to boost soil vitality. Applied evenly across lawns, it enhances foliar feeding, suppresses weeds, and strengthens grass against pests and diseases using natural processes.
Core aeration
We remove soil cores to create air channels, alleviating compaction and allowing water, oxygen, and nutrients to reach roots. Combined with overseeding, this process thickens lawns and improves resilience to environmental stressors.
Liquid iron application
Chelated iron targets broadleaf weeds like dandelions by triggering oxidative stress in plants, while grass absorbs it as a nutrient. This organic solution greens lawns and eliminates weeds without synthetic herbicides.
Pollinator-friendly landscaping
We design native plant and grass installations to support bees and butterflies, integrating functional hardscapes like rock paths. These projects enhance biodiversity while maintaining aesthetic appeal and property accessibility.
