Receive Professional Lawn Care Services

As a rule of thumb, commercial properties must optimize their landscapes for curb appeal. This is because it is not those already on the property like management and staff who will drive the bottom line, it is prospective customers and guests. These people need to be driven into the property through the appeal of an attractive outdoor space. Often, it is not even the landscape that curates this first impression, it is the lawn. This is where a large portion of the judgment will be made, either positive or negative. In order to ensure that the former is true, lawn care must be taken care of. Now, this is more than just mowing and edging, comprehensive care is required to make sure that turf is healthy and green, not brown and patchy. These are all of the additional professional lawn care services your property should receive. 

Lawn Fertilization

Turf needs nutrients to survive. In fact, it needs a large number of nutrients in order to flourish. Unfortunately, you are rolling the dice on whether or not there are enough nutrients naturally present in the soil surrounding the root system of your lawn. The only way to ensure that this nutrient pool is adequate is with fertilization. Lawn fertilizers contain nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which each optimize the health of the turf. Nitrogen creates a deeper green, while phosphorus assists in the photosynthesis process. Potassium helps take this converted energy from sunlight, storing it for future use. Fertilizing right before the spring is the best time, giving your turf a boost as it begins to grow once again. It should then be performed routinely, either annually, or bi-annually to maintain good long-term health.

Aeration and Overseeding

In our northern service area, it gets cold. Freezing temperatures are common during the winter, even creeping into the fall and spring. On top of foot traffic, this cold weather can cause soil compaction. This is when soil becomes so firm that nutrients cannot flow through it, and roots are left to wither and die. The response to this is aeration, which is the process of removing small cores from all over the soil, and reopening these pathways. When doing this we like to combine aeration with overseeding, which is the dissemination of seed all over the now opened holes in the soil. Now, existing turf will be more healthy, with more turf growing up from within to thicken your lush lawn.

Turf Pest Control

There is no shortage of lawn predators out there looking to infest your turf. The most obvious are lawn diseases and weeds, but some of these predators are alive. Pests like chinch bugs and white grubs can invade turf, chewing up blades and roots while robbing valuable nutrients. However, pre-emergent pest control treatments can prevent these pests from ever encroaching on your property. By routinely inspecting your lawn for potential symptoms, any potential infestation can be caught early and treated easier. Ignore lawn pest control and you risk losing your beautiful investment.
