Our Lawncare Program

Jamison...Your lawn partner has and continues to partner with industry professionals and manufacturers to develop the most agronomically sound program and most dependable arsenal of products to allow us come to your home and design the RIGHT program to deliver for you a thicker, greener more beautiful turf.  We are NOT a “one size fits all company” and as such, we MUST perform a complete Lawn Analysis prior to our submitting an estimate for you.  Your program will be based upon 7 “timed visits” with each having targeted goals for your turfgrass.  Below is a description: 

Round One: Pre-emergent weed control for the prevention of summer annual weeds, broad leaf weed control and a root feeding fertilizer 

Round Two: Pre-emergent weed control for the prevention of summer annual weeds, broad leaf weed control and a Nitrogen based fertilizer for initial green-up 

Round Three: Balanced fertilizer and post-emergent weed control for Nutsedge and other troublesome weeds 

Round Four: Balanced “time released fertilizer” to maintain your healthy green turf and a post-emergent weed control for weeds emerging in late summer 

Round Five: Balanced fertilizer and post-emergent weed control for weeds that may germinate in late summer 

Round Six: Pre-emergent weed control for the prevention of winter annual weeds, broadleaf weed control and a root feeding fertilizer 

Round Seven:   An application of a dolometic lime for the reduction of soil acidity and to provide micro-nutrients and post-emergent weed control for any remaining winter weeds

During each Round, our Technician will inspect and assess the present condition of the turf to address new or emerging needs coming from such areas as insects, disease or seasonal problems.

Our Tree & Shrub Care Program 

Do you pay “regular attention” to shrub care?  If your shrubs were to develop an insect or disease problem (scale, white flies, powdery mildew, leaf spot, root rott, spider mites and bag worms etc.) would you know what to do or more importantly, what to use to control it?

Jamison...Your lawn partner has trained Professionals and a carefully developed, agronomically sound Tree & Shrub Care Program that will put your mind at ease.  All it takes is one call for us to develop a healthy plan for the care of your small trees and shrubs.   We’ll make a thorough inspection of your landscaping needs and carefully develop your 5 step program...just click here.  See our Program outline below: 

Round One: Dormant oil for the control of “over wintering insects” 

Round Two: Balanced spring fertilization and feeding to help plants recover from winter damage and maximize springtime growth 

Round Three: Insect and disease control for the elimination and prevention of damage they cause 

Round Four: Insect and disease control for the problems associated with small trees and shrubs during this time of year 

Round Five: Deep root feeding to encourage a strong root system for the coming winter months and to promote a strong spring start up growth 

During each Round, our Technician will inspect and assess the present condition of your shrubs to address new or emerging needs coming from such areas as insects, disease or seasonal problems.

Fescue Seeding...

Why fescue seeding?  In the mid-south region, our warm season turfgrasses, Zoysia and Bermuda are better suited for our climate and require more than 6 hours of direct sunlight to prosper.  Fescue on the other hand, will grow well in the shade of your trees and can eliminate those “undesirable bare ground areas” under the trees. 

The Fescue family of grasses is the only grass available that can be sustained on a year round basis in heavily shaded areas.  Fescue, regardless of variety, will thin out over time. That is why it is necessary to overseed periodically to increase turf density. The average period between seedings is 1 to 3 years depending upon a variety of factors such as sunlight, irrigation and fertilization. 

For optimal results, fescue seeding should be done from circa September 15th through October 31st.  This allows the fescue seedlings time to germinate and begin growth during the last warm weeks of the fall. These seedlings will then have time to grow and reach maturity, as well as develop a good strong root system, so that they may be able to withstand the stress from the cold winter months as well as the heat of the coming summer. Due to the lack of time to develop an adequate root system, and the high mortality rate of seed planted in the Spring, it is our policy that we will not perform fescue seeding in the Spring. 

The Fescue Seeding Process: 

The first step is to mow the area to be seeded as closely as possible and remove the excess clippings. 

Second, an application may be made to remove any weeds that should be eliminated before the establishment of a new stand of Fescue. 

Next, aerate the area to be seeded. (See aeration)  

After aeration, the seed is to be broadcast over the designated area making sure to shield areas where seed is not desired (flower beds, warm season grasses).   It should be watered lightly following the seeding.  Proper watering of newly seeded area is imperative to its growth and development!  Newly seeded Fescue areas should be watered daily until germination occurs.

Soil Sampling Service 

Why would I need “soil sampling”?  There are times when despite optimal growing conditions coupled with good care, your turfgrass will just not maintain a healthy posture or appearance...and it can happen for no apparent reason!  In cases like this, a “soil sample” could very well lead us to the solution for a “not visible problem”.  In other situations like “bare ground” for no apparent reason, soil sampling can be a great tool.

In most cases however, our trained professionals will be able to diagnose the “problem and solution” without the use of a soil sample.

Insect and Disease Control 

We could give you a long list of Insects and Plant Diseases and provide for you “tough to make an identification pictures” but we have found the vast majority of our customers don’t want to make the identification, learn the background or gain the experience needed to understand the problems associated with these many insects or diseases! 

We have found they want to know... 

Can Jamison...Your lawn partner take care of it???” 

Our Professionals are each trained and certified to diagnose and address problems such as these everyday...and if you would like to have the pictures and the knowledge mentioned above, our Professionals are anxious to share this with you at your convenience!   

Why isn’t this included as a part of my regular program?  Actually, there are several reasons.  First and foremost, the EPA and state law mandates that each insect or disease infestation be identified as a “target pest” prior to the application of a “product or chemical”.  Said another way, “no routine or preventive application of a pesticide” may be made for problems that may or may not occur.  Most insect and disease problems are not “readily predictable” from season to season and therefore, inclusion of such treatments within a regular program is “outside of the law”.  In addition, this would also be wasteful and MORE EXPENSIVE !

Moles 

That’s right...MOLES!  Just give us a call and we will be happy to come out and give you an estimate on bringing your Mole Problem under control!  Moles are a LARGE problem in our area and there are precious few companies even offering Mole Control.

Each Mole Infestation is different and requires specific responses; hence, our inspection of the problem is VERY important.  Again, just give us a call and we will be right out.

All of our Mole Control work is based on “Season Control”...if the mole comes back, we come back!  Just click here and shoot us an e-mail request.

Fire Ants 

Yes, we can take care of Fire Ants in your lawn!  Just give us a call and we’ll be right out to assess the problem and share with you the problems and controls of this potentially difficult infestation.

Please note...”just spraying the mound” is very wrong!  When you give us a call, you will get a “Professional to help you understand the scope of the problem”, an explanation of the control procedures and prices.

PLEASE remember, Fire Ants can be a true hazard...since 1940’s Fire Ants have killed more than 80 people in the United States.  Click here and we’ll be right out for you.
