Organic Full Season Fertilization Program
Our organic five step fertilization package focuses on revitalizing your soil life. When combined with proper watering, mowing and an aeration, it can drastically reduce common turf weeds without conventional chemicals.
Our signature program consists of 5 steps that constitute a full fertility program. In the late spring and peak heat of summer, we apply granular Build for steps one and four. Build helps develop more soil organic matter, reduces water usage, and discourages weeds by making your turf thicker and roots deeper.
The steps two, three and five are applications of Regenerate Plus, a mix of kelp, humic acid, protein based fertility, and complex carbohydrates that stimulate and enhance your soil life. It feeds your soil's fungi, helping to create a soil ecosystem that selects for strong perennial grasses.
Aerations
A well-loved lawn gets lots of traffic from pets, kids and backyard barbecues. Combine this with a flora mono-culture and a too frequent watering schedule and you end up with compaction. A lawn aeration alleviates soil compaction and allows nutrients, water, and air to penetrate the soil and access the root zone. This promotes deeper roots, a main goal of our holistic program, which will allow your lawn to tolerate heat and drought stress better. It also gets more oxygen to the life in your soil leading to more vibrant microbial activity. Early or late season aerations are highly recommended.
Areas of your lawn that experience a lot of shade or have been disrupted by parking spaces, construction projects, trampolines, and the like will benefit from top-seeding. Top-seeding thickens your grass, promotes diversity, and improves its appearance and helps it resist weeds. We combine our top-seeding package with a deep core aeration to alleviate soil compaction and open up holes in the ground, bringing dirt to the lawn surface. We also condition the soil with biological stimulants to activate soil life and provide nutrients to the new seed.
We use water-saving grass mixes and clover to set you up to need less water and inputs to maintain your lawn once it’s established. However, it’s incredibly important to properly water new seeds to allow them to germinate and establish successfully. Without proper watering, overseeding is not a good investment.
Top-Seeding and Over-Seeding
Soil Humate Conditioner
Humate soil conditioner is an organic soil treatment and biological stimulant that is akin to applying a thin layer of compost over the surface of the lawn. It builds soil organic matter, allowing for better water retention and nutrient flow through the soil. We suggest it for many residential lawns that have a poor soil base or very high clay content in their soil. Oftentimes, freshly laid sod on construction hardpan looks great for a couple of seasons, but starts to struggle over time because it was not laid on properly prepared soil. Humate soil condition can help to increase soil fertility and microbial activity in struggling lawns.
Sprinkler Audits
Watering your lawn may seem simple, but watering properly for different temperatures and micro-climates can be trickier than you might think. We go through each sprinkler zone and make sure they are working properly and you are getting the right amount of water.
If you are not watering deeply and infrequently, you will create lawn ailments such as short roots, lawn diseases or drought stress. Watering correctly is key to having a successful organic lawn. Many customers save money on their water bill while also having their lawns stay greener in the hottest dog days of summer.
