Landscaping as a home improvement project has a recovery value of 100-200% if it is well done and harmonizes with the nearby surrounding. This compares to a Kitchen overhead of 75-125% or a Bathroom redesign of 80-120%.

Organic Based Lawn Care Programs
| Organic Based with Some Chemical |
| Early Spring |
A balanced fertilizer is applied coupled
with an optional application of crabgrass and annual weed preventer.
This application may have organic matter but has a chemical element |
| Spring and/or Fall |
Pelletized limestone
is applied to "sweeten" the soil by
enhancing ph levels. Lime is crucial in Maine, where heavy rainfall and acidic soils are present. |
| Late Spring |
Organic Fertilizer / Weed Control if needed
The late spring treatment is a
balanced organic fertilizer to enhance plant development and growth, and to
maintain the healthy green color. Broadleaf weed control is included if needed or requested to remove competition from spring germinating weeds.
|
| Throughout Season |
Our optional "weed patrol" service
Consists of
hand-spraying weeds and grass that may germinate in cracks, along curbs and in
planting beds. Our basic service includes up to 8 visits and starts at $25.00 per application |
| Summer |
Insect control
is applied only if needed. This is the time to catch cinch bugs and grubs. |
| Early Fall |
Organic Fertilizer (weed control if needed)
This treatment is applied to help the grass plant recover from summer stresses and to prepare for active
growth during the fall. Broadleaf weed control is provided as needed. |
| Late Fall |
Winterizer(optional)
This treatment is applied when the
grass plant growth has slowed or stopped in the late fall. This
granular application promotes root growth, winter survival, better
spring green up, and improved drought tolerance the following season.
Highly recommended! |
| Spring or Fall |
Aeration
Aeration is a VITAL part of any serious lawn care program, especially an organic one. The organic approach relies on microbial and biological activity (LIFE!) to improve the health of your soil, lawn and landscape. Two key ingredients are air and water. Aeration is the means to introduce MORE of these elements into your soil. Salts, chemical fertilizers, rain and traffic all contribute to compaction of the soil which inhibits air and water movement. Aeration counters these effects and often produces VISIBLE resutls in and of itself. |
| Throughout The Season |
Mechanical and Cultural Practices
There are a number of things that we can do to further promote the health of your lawn and landscape. In addition to aeration, mowing as high as possible to promote longer and sturdier root growth and to shade and choke out weeds. Leaving grass clippings on the lawn to add a small amount of extra nitrogen. Choosing weed, drought and insect resistent grasses for reseeding when necessary and choosing native landscape plants with an eye toward choices that attract beneficial or preditor insects to help keep down undesirable insect populations. |
