SERVICES
All
services are available in especially designed programs,
just for your lawn, and can include;
- Weed Spraying
- Crabgrass Control
Crabgrass is
sprayed in the spring. If you saw crabgrass in your
lawn last year it will be back this year. Spraying
in the spring, before you can see the crabgrass
leaf, gets the roots before they can take hold.
Controls Grubs and
Cinchbugs.
- Beneficial
Nematodes (Just what are they?)
The Beneficial
Nematode is a small microscopic worm that lives below the
soil. Beneficial Nematodes are underground pest hunters.
They are a very efficient organic insect control method and
kill most insects before they become adults.
- All
insect control products need to be watered into the lawn.
- Fall Weed
and Fertilization
When it seems almost crazy to control weeds and
fertilize to promote grass growth, fall is actually the
most important time to do exactly that.
Fall
weed treatment and grass fertilization will prevent
the spring dandelions and give you a thick green
spring lawn.
We
suggest rolling in the spring to smooth out rough spots that
are caused by winter freezing and spring thaw.
Lawn
Spraying - Commonly Asked Questions
(Urban Pest Management Council of
Canada)
Are children
exposed to herbicides from lawn and park spraying?
The amount of
herbicide that enters the body of a person
having direct skin contact with a newly sprayed
lawn (within 1 hour of spraying) is very small,
and no detectable amount enters the body if
contact occurs a few hours after spraying. In
the studies that determined these exposures, the
volunteers that did have very low, but
measurable exposure, were intentionally walking,
sitting or lying on the grass that had been
sprayed less than an hour previously. These
people had bare feet and bare legs. On the few
occasions each year that children may be playing
on a freshly sprayed lawn, the potential
exposure is so small as to be negligible.
Does very
low-level, intermittent exposure pose a health
risk to children?
No. The
herbicides used in lawn care (predominantly
2,4-D) do not accumulate in the body, so several
small exposures would not build up to equal a
larger exposure. No health effects or increased
cancer risk would be expected from the small
exposure children could potentially experience.
This conclusion is based on the fact that even
the most highly exposed populations, those who
manufacture or formulate the herbicides and
forestry sprayers consistently show no increase
in cancer incidence, In the case of 2,4-D, the
amount a child would receive from playing on a
freshly sprayed lawn is many times lower than
the level considered safe by the World Health
Organization.

Aeration helps a lawn grow by making
room for water
and fertilizer intake which promotes root growth and
prevents thatching.
- Over-seeding
- De-Thatching
De-thatching or
over-seeding may be necessary to
help get your lawn started.
Keeps driveways
and sidewalks weed free.
Can be done
several times a year, depending on the lawn's needs. Usually 4
- 5 times is recommended.
