Fertilizing is the cornerstone of any lawn service. There are three main types of nutrition you can use on your lawn: a refined elemental fertilizer, a refined elemental fertilizer with an organic base, or a top-dressing organic matter.
Aeration and over-seeding go hand in hand and with Maier Tree & Lawn’s aeration and over-seeding process. Core aeration pulls plugs of soil from your lawn. This will lead to soil improvement by increasing oxygen to the soil and reducing thatch. It also helps to alleviate soil compaction which, in turn, promotes root growth and helps break down the thatch layer of your lawn.
Seeding immediately following aeration is the most cost effective and easiest way of introducing new grass cultivars into your lawn. A seeding rotation will help fill in bare and thin spots and help ensure any patchy areas of your lawn are soon covered by lush, thick grass.
The biggest issue that people always want to discuss when it comes to their lawn is weeds and how to get rid of them.
The most common weed plants we see are dandelions, broadleaf plantain, clover, wild violets, creeping Charlie, common purslane, and chickweed.
Certain herbicides do have their place in a low input lawn. Often, when beginning a lawn care program, spot spraying or even cover spraying of weeds is necessary to give your grass a fighting chance.
Soil testing and complete lawn analysis are key in the design of your lawn care program. Used together, they provide a roadmap for caring for your lawn. At Maier Tree & Lawn, we offer comprehensive soil testing which includes testing for various site conditions, expert analysis, and professional recommendations.
Pesky insects and bug can cause lots of issues in a lawn. Our insecticide and grub control are meant to prevent or stop damage to your lawn before it goes any further.
Turf diseases can develop on your lawn throughout the year. Most are a result of cultural practices within the specific conditions of your yard. Many turf diseases can be treated with fungicide, and/or mechanical practices.
