Services
Lawn Fertilization
Our 6-step Hybrid Organic Lawn Care Program begins with comprehensive soil testing to identify nutrient deficiencies. We apply customized blends of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients using biostimulants and organic compounds. This science-based approach improves drought resistance, reduces chemical use, and creates thicker root systems for long-term lawn health.
Tree & Shrub Care
Customized deep-root fertilization and trunk injection treatments address specific plant needs. Our ISA-certified technicians use organic sprays to control pests like Japanese beetles while preserving beneficial insects. Professional pruning techniques improve air circulation and disease resistance, maintaining both aesthetic appeal and plant longevity in Northeast Ohio's climate.
Lawn Aeration
Core aeration breaks up compacted soil using specialized machinery that removes finger-sized soil plugs. This process enhances nutrient uptake, reduces thatch buildup, and promotes deeper root growth. We combine this with Air-8 soil enhancer to create pore spaces that improve water retention and root development for healthier turf.
Top Dressing
Compost topdressing adds organic matter to clay-heavy soils stripped during construction. Our specialized spreader applies - inch layers evenly across lawns, increasing microbial activity and restoring pH balance. This golf-course proven technique improves nutrient retention and drought tolerance while building rich, fertile soil structure.
Mosquito Control
Environmentally responsible mosquito control targets breeding areas using safe, EPA-registered products. Our technicians identify and treat standing water sources while applying barrier sprays to reduce adult populations. The treatment plan integrates with overall lawn care to maintain pest-free outdoor spaces without compromising family or pet safety.
