FERTILIZATION/ WEED CONTROL
Fertilization & Weed Control: Once you’re signed up for a customized Lawn Treatment Plan, a certified technician will begin (monthly) treatments on your lawn. Our Lawn Treatment Plan includes 6 treatments. Technicians are at your service to reassess your yard at any time to make necessary adjustments to your plan. Our fertilization treatments are pet-friendly, so you can rest easy knowing your furry friends are safe!
Fertilization supplements the nutrients in your soil. It makes your lawn healthier, greener, and capable of withstanding adverse conditions. We apply balanced fertilizers, enriched with the proper amounts of slow-release nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash.
Effective weed control depends on several factors:
– Timing
– Stage of growth
– Correct identification
Let Livin’ Green control your lawn’s quality:
– Healthier Lawn
– Greener grass
– Minimal weeds.

Mulching
The advantages of bark mulch are conservation of moisture, reduction of weed growth and enhancement of the landscape’s appearance. Mulch also aids in the insulating the soil from winter temperature fluctuations. These alternating periods of freezing and thawing can cause some plants to heave out of the ground. Spring and fall are the preferred times for mulching, but we can schedule mulching at any time that is convenient for you.
Mulch your beds because:
– Mulch conserves moisture for your plants
– Reduces weed growth
– Enhances the landscape’s appearance.
AERATION
We use a top of the line lawn aerator with hollow tines which mechanically removes plugs or “cores” of soil and thatch from your lawn. Core aeration reduces soil compaction, creating a channel through which oxygen, water, and nutrients can penetrate into the soil!
Aeration is the removal of plugs of soil to allow moisture, air, and fertilizer into the root zone. Aeration is the removal of plugs of soil to allow moisture, air, and fertilizer into the root zone. It also serves to solve the problems of compacted soil and thatch buildup. Our equipment removes the plugs of topsoil and thatch. The plugs are left on the turf surface to decompose, helping to break down your thatch. Lawn aerated with tines can reach a maximum penetration of 1.5-2″. (Please note: the best time to seed is after fall aeration.
Why should you aerate your lawn?
– Reduces thatch
– Allows moisture, air, and fertilizer to the root zone
– Enhances seed germination.
Overseeding
FACT- GRASS SEED MUST BE IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH TOPSOIL FOR GERMINATION!
With this in mind, our technician will recommend one of the following procedures
Broadcast Seeding:
Broadcast seeding is for bare dirt situations. Even so, it is beneficial to rake up and prepare the ground. This gives the seed a place to “hide” and a better chance to germinate.
Slice and slit seeding:
