F.A.Q.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I WATER MY LAWN WITH A SPRINKLER SYSTEM?
We recommend you run your lawn sprinkler system three times a week to water your lawn. On average, you should run your system for 20 minutes each time to put down an inch of water every week, or 30 minutes each time to spread one-and-a-half inches of water.
WHY IS MOWING THE RIGHT HEIGHT AND IN ALTERNATING PATTERNS IMPORTANT?
Having your grass cut at the right height — recommended at three inches — will cause less damage to your grass and prevent any stress that could negatively impact your lawn. With proper height and alternating trimming patterns, your lawn will be healthier — which allows for shading, fights against weed growth and protects the grass against insect damages.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LAWN OVERSEEDING AND AERATION?
Overseeding and aeration provide the most optimal results for your lawn when done in the fall. Overseeding will give your lawn healthier and thicker grass, helping to improve your home’s curb appeal. Lawn aeration increases the airflow to grassroots which improves their depth and strength. Aeration and overseeding work hand in hand as lawn aeration provides a good foundation for overseeding.
WHEN AND WHY SHOULD I FERTILIZE MY LAWN?
Fertilizing your lawn is a necessary lawn care task to ensure your lawn has proper nutrients to ensure healthy growth and attractive quality. Fertilization provides a slow release of organic nutrients along with carefully blended amounts of nutrients which help your lawn by promoting new leaf, cell wall development and root growth. In northern areas of the country, like the North Shore, we recommend you apply fertilizer five times per year.
HOW DOES MOSQUITO TREATMENT WORK?
Our trained technicians will use a special blend of insecticides designed to target both adult pests as well as their eggs. This insecticide will then be applied to your property with a misting system. The mist will be sprayed throughout your landscaping, trees (up to 20 feet in height) and across the entire lawn.
How Long Does Mosquito Treatment Remain Effective?
Our mosquito control treatments will provide you with protection for up to 21 days. With our spray package, a technician will visit your home every 3 weeks to ensure that the mosquito barrier never has time to break down. That way you can consistently enjoy your outdoor space all season long.
Is Mosquito Treatment Harmful to Children or Pets?
It is recommended that you stay off of the treated areas for a minimum of 30 minutes after treatment. This will ensure that the products have had time to dry. Once the treatment has dried, your property is once again available for your enjoyment, without danger to your family and pets.
Can I Get a Mosquito Treatment to Protect Guests For a Party or Special Event if I’m Not Signed Up for the Year?
Absolutely! For the most effective control for your event, we suggest having at least two applications. We will apply one treatment two weeks before your event and another two days before your event..
