We recommend that you wait til the next day after a fertilizer treatment to mow.  This allows fertilizer to settle down to the roots and increases weed control.

Connecticut soil tends to have a low pH level.  Adding lime to your lawn will help correct the soils pH for plants to utilize soil nutrients.  Most lawns should have lime put down at least once a year to maintain the correct pH level. 

No, we are very careful to avoid off-target applications. In the event that materials do spill onto sidewalks or driveways, we are sure to blow it off with commercial grade blowers.

No. Our lawn care specialists are highly trained and keep specific notes for each property. Anything that needs to be considered such as pets, gates, invisible dog fences, etc is noted.

This can vary based on treatment. The standard precaution is to stay off lawn until it is dry. Please check your invoice for specific instructions.

The best time is in the spring before your lawn (and weeds!) begins growing rapidly.

While one application of fertilizer will improve your lawn, a series of several applications throughout the year will make it healthier and give it strength to combat heat, cold, mowing, foot traffic, seasonal weeds, pests and other stressors.

For a healthy lawn, always keep your mower blades sharp and do not cut more than one third of the existing grass blade.  Rusty or dull blades can tear grass making it more prone to disease.

In Spring, when grass is growing rapidly, lawns can be cut to around 2.5 inches and cut with more frequency.

During hot summer months, grass should be cut to around 3.5-4 inches to shade the roots and help prevent drought stress. 

Mulching your grass clippings will provide your lawn with more nutrients.

Proper watering is key to a healthy lawn.  When watering, make sure that the entire lawn gets covered evenly. 

Early morning watering is the best time to irrigate because the grass is cool and water soaks into the soil deeper and easier.  Watering in the morning also allows your grass time to dry in the sunlight.

Watering in the evening and not allowing time for grass blades to dry can cause your lawn to be more prone to disease.

Slow release fertilizer is small granules of nutrients that feed grass in small doses to maintain steady growth and color. This is a better approach to reduce the risk of nitrogen burns and leaching.

Grub treatments may get rid of the grubs in your lawn, but grubs are not the only food source for moles - there will still be plenty of worms for the moles to eat. Remember, grub Control is NOT necessarily mole control.

We do not treat for ants. In the Northeast, ants will not kill grass. In fact, they won’t even feed on grass.

Ants exist to colonize. The only time you might want to worry about them in your lawn is if their colonies become too large. While they don’t necessarily cause damage to a lawn, they can pose a cosmetic threat and can be a nuisance. 

What we usually say is if you can see ants - it means your grass is too thin!
