Aerifying and overseeding, sod, lawn renovations, lawn irrigation and lawn fertilization packages are available. We also provide commercial mowing services. All lawns have specific needs and requirements. No two lawns are exactly the same and we can provide soil sample readings to help determine the best way to achieve your dream lawn. Greg Strahm will work with individuals to create a plan that is specifically designed to achieve your goals.

Over Seeding

This is a great option if you lawn has been neglected and just needs more turf planted to help thicken it up. It is also for those who have received some damage to their lawn such as grubs, high traffic, or shaded areas. Finally, it is a great way to evenly introduce another variety of turf that can better tolerate heat, shade, or drought, making your lawn better suited to its environment. Best results occur when planted in the fall.

Lawn Renovation

Renovating your lawn begins with several herbicide sprays to kill any existing grass and weeds. We then complete any grading work to help with drainage or any other issues you encounter. Finally, we reseed the area and mulch it with straw. This is best done in the fall.

Sod

Sod allows you to quickly establish a lush lawn and is also used as an erosion control method on slopes. The other benefit of sod is that it can be installed any time of the year.

Lawn Irrigation

Lawn Irrigation Systems are often times the missing link to having a beautiful lawn throughout the growing season. Even if your lawn is free of weeds, insect, and diseases it can still become unsightly if we go through an extended period of drought, which is common in this area. Underground lawn irrigation eliminates the task of dragging out hoses and sprinklers that inefficiently accomplish the daunting task. Properly installed irrigation systems can be very efficient and reduce the amount of wasted water, especially if combined with rain sensors and or weather stations. Irrigation systems can be controlled from an easy to use wall mounted control unit or smartphone/computer. In addition to watering your lawn, drip irrigation can also be added onto these systems to water your landscape plantings. Using a vibratory plow means minimal damage is experienced in existing lawns. Keeping your turf well hydrated throughout the growing season will keep your lawn alive and healthy and often times even eliminating the need to reseed areas after a hot dry summer.

New! Lawn drip irrigation is a new way to water your lawn and conserve water! No water is lost due to evaporation or runoff! Ask about the option if you are interested.

Commercial Mowing Services

Mowing crews are available to mow properties on a weekly schedule if needed. Proper mowing practices are essential to turf maintenance. The proper mowing height during each season will ensure the turf is performing at its best. Taller turf especially during the summer can be the key to survival, because longer leaf blades help shade and reduce transpiration from the crown of the plant. We can also edge, trim, and blow clippings off of the hardscapes to provide a well-manicured appearance.

Lawn Fertilization
