Overseeding
Spring Core Aeration Overseeding – Core aeration pulls 1-3 inch deep plugs from your lawn to decompact the earth and allow nutrients to more easily and fully penetrate the soil. Overseeding (adding new grass seeds) after aeration creates the ideal situation to promote seed germination and result in a thicker, healthier, lusher lawn.

Mosquito Control
A barrier spray treatment that will kill adult mosquitoes and larvicides to kill mosquito larvae. Mosquito control treatments are applied several times a year and before big events. The barrier spray contains pyrethrin, which is a pesticide derived from dried chrysanthemum or pyrethroids which is a synthetically produced insecticide. Pyrethrin breaks down quickly when exposed to sunlight and moisture. The barrier spray chemicals are approved by the EPA because in their words they “do not pose risk concerns for children or adults.” Larvicides are used in retention ponds, ditches, lakes and backyard ponds and the most common larvicide is BTI. Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (BTI) is a naturally occurring bacterium and is nontoxic to mammals, fish and birds, according to the EPA.

Mole Control
Since a mole’s primary food source is earthworms, we use a worm-shaped mole bait that mimics the look and smell of an earthworm to lure active moles who are currently creating tunnels (also known as runs) in your yard. After just one feeding, that particular mole will no longer be a problem after about 2 days and in most cases will not come back to the surface again. As we set the bait, we wear gloves so that the moles will not be able to pick up any scent of a human on the bait or in the runs. We set 10-12 baits on an average size yard and after the baits are set it is best to stay clear of these runs until we don’t see anymore mole activity. When we don’t see anymore activity or new runs, we will know the moles are gone.

Weed Prevention
Early Spring Application – This early Spring application includes a fertilizer and pre-emergent herbicide. The fertilizer will promote early Spring green up and add proper nutritional value for the lawn while it is coming out of from winter dormancy. In addition, a pre-emergent herbicide was applied to protect your lawn from crabgrass and grassy weeds.
Late Spring/Early Summer Application – The late Spring application will provide a Spring fertilizer with bio-nutrients, a post emergent herbicide for broadleaf weed control. This will promote a healthy lawn, an additional pre-emergent herbicide will help to control any crabgrass and weeds that may still come up and control broadleaf weeds.
