Fertilizer Programs & Seasonal Landscape Services in MA & NH
High-performance fertilizer programs facilitate natural soil processes, enrich nutrient-deficient soil, and promote healthy lawns that are less vulnerable to weeds, insect infestation, and turfgrass disease. At Valley Green, we offer organic and conventional fertilizer programs as part of our comprehensive turfgrass maintenance services.
Organic Fertilizer Program
Valley Green’s organic fertilizer program is designed to improve and strengthen soil composition and thicken your lawn to ward off weeds, pests and other invaders. With quality lawn care, natural product use, and proper cultivation, our organic fertilizer program creates an environment for your lawn to thrive.
- Soil test. To being your fertilization program, we use an accurate soil test to isolate missing nutrients and evaluate the overall condition of your lawn and garden.
- Three fertilizer applications. Depending on when you begin the program, your year-round fertilizer program includes three applications of slow-release fertilizer, pre-emergent weed control, or winterizer.
- Pelleted compost or humate application. This is a soil conditioner that enriches soil and promotes healthy microbe growth.
- Lime application. Most lawns grow best with a slightly acidic pH. Lime reduces soil acidity and supplies necessary calcium for optimal seed growth.
- Fall core aeration & overseeding. Overseeding works best when combined with aeration. Valley Green perforates the soil with our high-performance aerator before broadcasting grass seed over the surface.
Traditional Fertilizer Programs
Developed to make your green space even greener, Valley Green’s traditional fertilizer programs boost the health and vitality of your turf. Our conventional fertilizer is a slow-release product applied five times from early spring through summer to ensure that your lawn regularly receives the nutrients it needs. Your traditional fertilizer program may also include:
- Weed & moss control. Just as weeds can overtake your lawn, moss steals nutrients and smothers turf over time. Valley Green applies safe products that feed your lawn and prevent weed or moss infestation.
- Insect control. Turf-damaging insects can wreak havoc on the healthiest grass. At Valley Green, we take pest control seriously by identifying the offending insect and applying child- and pet-safe insect control products.
- Disease control. Turf disease spreads rapidly if it is not managed by a professional. Trust our team to treat and prevent lawn fungus and eradicate disease-causing organisms.
- Lime application. Most lawns grow best with a slightly acidic pH. Lime reduces soil acidity and supplies necessary calcium for optimal seed growth.
- Core aeration. Seasonal aeration prevents compacted soil, improves air exchange and drainage, and enhances grass rooting.
Additional Lawn Care Services
To supplement fertilizer services and comprehensive lawn-health programs, Valley Green Landscaping also offers:
- Slice seeding. When grass seed is broadcast over your lawn, it may be washed away or damaged before germinating. During slice seeding, grass seed is inserted into the soil to encourage seed-to-soil contact. This seeding method offers an improved chance of germination and can help revive struggling grass. If thatch has taken over your yard, the lawn may require power raking before slice seeding.
- Lawn renovation. When turfgrass deteriorates due to drought, grub infestation or disease, Valley Green Landscaping improves grass condition using a variety of proven methods. Schedule a consultation to discuss your customized lawn renovation program or request installation of organic, drought-tolerant grasses.
- Grub control. Hungry grubs feed on grass roots and cause devastating damage to your yard. When these unwelcome guests overtake your MA or NH lawn, Valley Green treats existing grubs and prevents the beetle larvae from repopulating.
