| Service: | Notes On: | Benefits Of: |
| Aerating |
-Removes cores 3/4" w x 2 1/2" deep -Do not rake up cores -Cores will break down in 10 to 14 days |
-Reduces lawn compaction -Increases and deepens root growth -Enhances soil water uptake -Reduces water run-off -Enhances drought resistance |
| Verti-Cutting |
-Loosens soil surface -Leaves small grooves in soil surface |
-Helps create grass seed to soil contact when overseeding -Helps thicken existing lawn |
| Slit Seeding |
-Creates rows in the soil 1" apart -Deposits grass seed into the rows |
-Creates new lawn area -Thickens existing lawn |
| Over-Seeding |
-Application of grass seed by broadcast spreader -Best if applied after aerating or verti-cutting |
-Thickens existing lawn |
| Dethatching |
-Verti-cutter lifts thatch from root zone of lawn and lays thatch on top of lawn for light raking -Equivalent to heavy duty raking *Note - does not include raking up or removal of thatch |
-Removes thatch layer -Enhances water and fertilizer penetration -Reduces chance of fungus growth |
| Fertilizing |
-50% slow release granular with 1% iron -Blended with naturally occurring ingredients -Water lawn with 1" of water -Do not cut lawn for 24 hours |
-Provides essential nutrients -Increases root growth -Promotes resistance to infestations of insects, weeds and other diseases -Iron proves quick green-up |
| Tree & Shrub Fertilizing |
-Soluable fertilizer -Applied to foliage and roots of shrubs and trees |
-Improved plant growth -Improved plant resistance to drought, insect and fungus problems |
| Horticulture Vinegar |
-Naturally produced from plants -Contains 20% acetic acid -Will not harm earth worms or beneficial bacteria and fungi -Will not persist and build up harmful soil residues -An alternative to round-up |
-Kills unwanted grass and weeds |
| Soil Test |
-Soil samples taken from various locations on lawn -Recommended for lawns with continual problems |
-Results indicate what lawn is lacking |
| Granular Compost | -Plant based compost |
-Increases soil water holding capacity, thus increasing drought resistance -Increases soil nutrient holding capacity, maximizing plant nutrient uptake |
| Granular K-mag | -Premium fertilizer | -Helps the uptake of potassium, magnesium and sulfur, improving the complete health of grass plants |
| Granular PH Increaser | -Soil amendment | -Increases PH when soil test indicates low PH levels |
| Granular PH Decreaser | -Soil amendment | -Decreases PH when soil test indicates high PH levels |
| Granular Salt Stopper | -Removes salt from soil |
-Improves salt damage from winter salt -Reduces damage of dog urine on lawn -Reduces some weeds that thrive in high salt soil |
