Lawn Maintenance Signature
Service
Lawn Maintenance
The lawn is maintained at a height
of 2-3" weekly.
Lawn Maintenance is completed on the same day each week weather
permitting. Lawn clippings are picked up and removed as needed
providing a healthy lawn and neat appearance. Clippings are blown
or swept off of all sidewalks and driveways. Lawn edges are trimmed
on a weekly basis, or as needed to facilitate good looks. Lawn
Maintenance is the minimum service offered. Lawn Maintenance is
required to receive additional programs or services.
Fertilization
and Weed Control
Six (6) applications of premium Fertilizer and
Weed Control are applied at optimal times and soil temperatures
throughout the season. Fertilizer applications provide
the correct amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash.
The nutrients are applied in granular form to stimulate
leaf growth, promote green color, and develop root systems.
The first applications contain a pre-emergent for crabgrass
prevention. Weed Control is applied in liquid form. Weeds
are sprayed as needed and with each Fertilizer application.
Fall
Core Aeration
Small cores of soil and thatch are removed from
the lawn areas in the fall. The lawn is Core Aerated to
improve lawn grass rooting, reduce soil compaction, and
enhance thatch breakdown.
Spring
Clean-Up
The Spring Clean-Up includes the removal of
all debris, accumulated leaves, and material at the
beginning of the season as weather permits. All material
will be removed from around buildings, landscape beds,
lawn areas, driveways, and sidewalks, and hauled away.

leaves on the lawn areas during the fall until the final

Weed
Removal
Weed Removal eliminates existing weeds
in all bed areas including rock beds. Bed material
is cultivated promoting moisture in plant roots.
Hoes, hand cultivators, and/or cultivator machines

three times per season in the spring, summer,
and fall. Flower bed edges are spade edged with
each Weed Removal visit leaving a clean appearance.
Spring

Granular Pre-Emergent is applied in early
spring before weed seedlings emerge. The granular
application is 60-80% effective stopping weed seed
germination thereby reducing weeds throughout the
season.

Installation
Dark premium hardwood double-processed mulch is delivered and installed twice
during the season. Once in the Spring and once in the Summer. Popular in color

Spring
and Fall Plant Fertilization
All trees up to 6" diameter
and all shrubs and plants will be fertilized with time-released
fertilizer
blended for conditions in the Spring and Fall. The slow-release

All bush, hedge, evergreen, and tree material that can
be pruned without climbing will be trimmed in the Spring and
Fall. Each plant is shaped to develop natural form and maintain
a neat and orderly appearance. All debris and material is removed
from the property.
