Lanscape Maintenance
Mowing / Dethatching / Aeration / Trimming
It's obvious that we have a passion for lawn care. We've even devoted an entire division to caring for lawns just like yours. Weekly mowing including line trimming and power blowing of all walks and drives leaves your property pristine. You won't find grass clippings in your plant beds either because we take the time to mow properly and have the ability to vacuum clippings as necessary. Don't forget about dethatching and core aeration. We have all the bases covered to assure your lawn is always looking its best and thriving. Insects and disease can have an adverse effect on your lawn so rest assured if situations arise that require immediate attention, we'll be there.
Maintaining a beautiful landscape extends far beyond your lawn and we have the passion, knowledge & equipment to keep your property thriving. The trees & plants you’ve invested in require periodic monitoring & care to maintain their health, structure and resistance to insects, diseases and environmental attacks that come all year long. Turf's Up offers monthly visits to keep unwanted grasses and weeds from taking hold in your plant beds and lawn areas along with the expertise to keep your lawn, shrubs, trees and perennials healthy from season to season.
Pruning techniques that might be good for some plants could be detrimental to others if done at the wrong time of year or when buds or flowers are forming. Shearing back perennials before they’ve had enough time to go dormant or limbing up a Birch Tree in summer could result in excessive loss of vital sap and leave wounds open to attacking insects and disease
spores. Our maintenances practices assure you the right care at the right time for the right plant.
Whether it's a properly timed lawn treatment, shrub fertilization, fencing & wrapping plants
before the winter months, we’ve got you covered.
Fertilizing Program
A Healthy Lawn All Year Long
Designed and perfected over a period of almost 3 decades, our “Weed & Feed” program is second to none. We combine the best of both worlds when we use either liquid or granular products to control weeds, insects, diseases and improve the color and density of your lawn. Did you know that the average sized suburban seeded lawn (about 10,000 square feet) can absorb over 6000 gallons of water without runoff? A healthy lawn plays a vital role in improving not only the value of your real estate but the oxygen we breathe every day. All lawns are not created equal. Even lawns on the same block can have vastly different nutrient requirements. Thatch build up can even vary from one part of your yard to another.
Our lawn care program starts with a detailed analysis of your lawn. We measure the entire turf area, evaluate the turf types, thatch levels, weeds present and check for disease and insect problems and that’s just to get started. We then consider light intensity, soil conditions, mowing height and overall cultural practices before suggesting a program to bring out the best in your lawn. We continue to work with you throughout the season to offer suggestions to improve your lawn. We do whatever it takes to keep you happy and keep your lawn looking like a Turf’s Up lawn!
SPRING
x1 Treatment
We apply the correct amount of turf food along with a pre-emergent herbicide to stop weeds and undesirable grasses before they germinate and become a problem in your lawn.
SUMMER
x2 Treatments
A compliment to your first application is made in early summer. This visit consists of phosphorus-free fertilizer in granular form designed to promote overall health, vigor and color of your lawn. Weed controls are used to knock out fast growing summer weeds that can be a problem this time of year. We also inspect for insect and disease problems.
Important micronutrients are necessary Midsummer to allow your lawn to fight of pests and diseases that try to take over in hotter months. Our fertilizer blends release over time to avoid burning and sudden surges of top growth. Any visible weeds are treated during this visit as well.
FALL
x2 Treatments
In Fall we apply the correct amount of turf food along with a pre-emergent herbicide to stop weeds and undesirable grasses before they germinate and become a problem in your lawn.
Just before winter sets in, we offer a late fall application of premium slow release fertilizer to feed your lawn in the remaining weeks before freeze up and dormancy. In spring, as your lawn slowly comes out of a dormant state, there will be nutrients there to help with a quicker green up as the season starts. Remember, lawns continue to store food reserves in their root systems all fall even though you have stopped mowing and temperatures are cool.
