Operating out of our Mount Royal and Haddon Township locations, we provide professional fertilization & aeration in South Jersey, applying a scientific approach to build a truly healthy, resilient lawn from the soil up. A lush, green lawn is the result of more than just regular watering and mowing; it depends on the health of the soil beneath it.
Many lawns in our region struggle with common issues like soil compaction, excessive thatch, and nutrient deficiencies, which can lead to thin turf, weed invasion, and disease. Our services are designed to address these root causes, creating the optimal environment for your grass to flourish.
Our methods are guided by a deep knowledge of horticultural science, rooted in our founder's Bachelor of Science degrees in Landscape Horticulture and Plant Science. We understand the unique challenges presented by South Jersey's soil types, which are often heavy in clay and prone to compaction. This expertise allows us to move beyond generic treatments and deliver a targeted program that gives your lawn exactly what it needs to thrive.
The Importance of Core Aeration
Over time, foot traffic and mowing can compact the soil in your lawn, squeezing out the air and creating a dense barrier that grass roots struggle to penetrate. This compaction prevents essential air, water, and nutrients from reaching the root zone, leading to a weak, shallow-rooted lawn. Core aeration is the most effective solution to this problem.
A Tailored Fertilization Program for Your Lawn
Fertilizing a lawn is a science. Simply applying a generic fertilizer can lead to weak growth or fail to address underlying deficiencies. Our fertilization programs are designed to give your lawn a balanced diet of the essential nutrients it needs to thrive, with a focus on what your specific property requires.
The three key nutrients for turf health are Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K).
- Nitrogen (N): Promotes vigorous, green leaf growth.
- Phosphorus (P): Is vital for strong root development, especially in new grass.
- Potassium (K): Helps the lawn withstand stress from drought, heat, and disease.
Our approach is based on providing these nutrients at the right time and in the right amounts. Following the recommendations of the Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, our programs focus heavily on fall fertilization. Fall applications encourage deep root growth and help the turf store energy for the winter, leading to a healthier lawn that greens up faster in the spring without the excessive top growth that can weaken it. As licensed pesticide applicators (License #54116B), we can also expertly identify and treat any issues with weeds or diseases that may be impacting your lawn's health.
By combining professional core aeration with a scientifically-backed fertilization schedule, our teams in Mount Royal and Haddon Township give your lawn the foundation it needs to resist weeds, fight off disease, and look its best all year long.
