Merrimack Valley Lawn Service

Program Options - Total Care Premium Package
 

Merrimack Valley Lawn Service's program for lawn management is customized based on the results of your initial soil test but consists of some of the following basic components.

Turf Maintenance
  • Lab Soil Test: Testing for levels of Ph, nutrients, heavy metals, base saturation, and organic matter.
  • Crabgrass Control: The most effective non-chemical pre-emergent weed control available today. With annual applications, a high degree of control can be achieved after only three years.
  • Fertilizer: Blended from the highest quality organic materials to give your lawn a well-rounded diet.
  • Compost Tea: Application of a fresh organic compost tea will substantially help to restore the levels of beneficial organisms and improve the uptake of nutrients by the grass.
  • Grub Control: Beneficial Nematodes are a biological control that are highly effective against grubs and other detrimental insects.
  • Pelletized Compost: Every lawn will benefit from an application of organic matter in the form of clean, weed- free compost. Our pelletized compost has no odor and dissipates into the soil within just a few days.
  • Lime Application: Adjusts Ph to normal levels. Applied when soil test indicates high acidity.
      See color-coded Treatment Calendar below for schedule.
Turf Restore Program

Includes all of the above plus:

  • Overseeding: Thin turf and turf with exposed soil can be very difficult to maintain. Weeds can take over and the soil can overheat and dry out quickly. Overseeding adds additional seed on top of your lawn to fill in bare spots and increase the turf density.
  • Dethatch: Typically only necessary for the first 1-2 years. Removing thatch build-up allows water and air to reach the soil.
  • Aeration: For heavily compacted soils. Aeration creates holes in the soil to help water and air to circulate down to the root zone.
      See color-coded Treatment Calendar below for schedule.
