Our 7-Step Program

Round 1 - Early March

An early dose of slow-release fertilizer provides essential nutrients, plus crabgrass pre-emergent is applied. Timing is crucial to effectively prevent and control crabgrass for the season.

A second application of crabgrass pre-emergent plus fertilizer is applied to extend control into the summer months.

At this time, we also blanket spray the lawn for broadleaf weeds killing them before they’re ever visible to clean up any early season growth

These rounds are completed together during the same visit.

  • Application of a slow-release early summer fertilizer
  • Spot treatment of any visible broadleaf or grassy weeds
  • Application of grub control at optimal timing to protect the lawn from insect damage
  • Nutsedge control is available as an add-on to your treatment program, particularly following a wet season.
Application of an organic, non-burning fertilizer along with a humic soil conditioner to improve soil health. During this visit, we actively monitor for any signs of these weeds and treat as needed with post-emergent applications:
  • Broadleaf weeds
  • Crabgrass breakthrough
Nutsedge control is available as an add-on to your treatment program, particularly following a wet season.

As summer heat breaks, this is the ideal time for aeration and overseeding.

  • Thorough aeration 
  • Overseeding with approximately 5 lbs of premium tall fescue per 1,000 sq ft 
  • Additional seed applied in thinner or bare areas 
  • Starter fertilizer applied to promote germination 

For customers not selecting aeration and overseeding:

  • A fall slow-release fertilizer is applied 
  • Spot treatment of weeds is performed 

Application of a winterizer fertilizer to prepare the lawn for winter.

This lawn care fertilizer service helps:

  • Store nutrients in the root system 
  • Promote a stronger, healthier lawn coming out of dormancy in the spring 

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls serve both structural and aesthetic purposes. We build walls designed to hold back soil, manage elevation changes, prevent erosion, and create usable, defined outdoor spaces. Whether you need a load-bearing wall or a small decorative garden wall, we can design and install a solution that fits your property.

Our preferred system is VERSA-LOK, known for its strength, durability, and clean appearance, though we are happy to work with other materials based on your preference.

Landscape Edging

Landscape edging creates clean, defined borders for your beds while improving long-term durability and reducing maintenance.

We install a variety of edging options, including:

  • Tumbled stone edging
  • Non-tumbled stone edging such as Bella Border

Our Installation Method

For retaining walls, we excavate the area and install a properly compacted limestone base to ensure structural integrity and long-term stability.

For landscape edging, stones are set in a light concrete base for durability, which provides:

  • Prevention of movement during freeze and thaw cycles
  • A firm, secure edge that will not shift or roll over time

This results in:

  • No tripping hazards
  • Clean, consistent lines
  • A professional, finished look

Functional Benefits

Adding edging and retaining walls can:

  • Reduce the need for trimming and maintenance
  • Create clean separation between lawn and landscape beds
  • Improve drainage and soil retention
  • Enhance overall curb appeal

They are especially useful around:

  • Home foundations
  • Air conditioning units
  • Property borders
  • Sloped areas
