To encourage grass seeds to grow quickly and properly, we spread new seeds while slicing up dead or damaged grass, using a machine specifically designed for this purpose. Seed is inserted into these slits at the proper depth for perfect seed-to-soil contact, resulting in the best possible growth. This is an effective alternative to replacing grass.
If the damage in your lawn isn’t a candidate for slice seeding, we opt for over seeding, which is both economical and efficient. The seeds are spread over the lawn, where they easily make their homes in bare areas. Or, if aeration has been performed beforehand, the seeds jump right into the holes. This process results in improved germination and survival of the seeds.
When the soil of your lawn gets too dense and compacted, air and water can’t get where it needs to go, causing your grass to stop growing properly. Aerating your lawn puts well-placed holes in the soil, allowing it to naturally do what it’s supposed to — getting air, water, and nutrients where they’re needed most.
We take an organic approach to amending your soil with the right blend of fertilizer, high concentration lime and micronutrients, seed, and water. Our low-toxicity pest control products suppress both weed and insect populations and give your lawn a jumpstart. This whole process boosts your soil’s fertility and the growing conditions of your lawn, which make the soil environment hospitable to growing grass — and inhospitable to weeds.
The bottom line? IPM is good for grass, bad for weeds, and wards off pests naturally.
After evaluating your lawn and soil, we customize the application of fertilization treatment, lime, and spot insect control that will yield optimal results. Depending on which level of service you choose, we will visit your home 6 to 7 times per year for the first year, and up to 6 times per year after that.

Suppressing weed and insect populations as needed, and using low-toxicity spot pest control applications, gives your lawn the beautiful green colour you want, and the extra boost it needs. Your stronger lawn will be able to naturally outgrow weed invasions — and minimize damage from insects that think your lawn should be their lunch.
