AERATION
Why aerate?
Compacted soil and heavy thatch are the two biggest obstacles to a beautiful lawn. They tend to suffocate grass plants by preventing air, water and nutrients from reaching the root zone. This means your lawn looks less than satisfactory in spite of adequate fertilization, water and tender loving care. Aeration opens up the thatch and helps relieve compactions. It should be a regular part of your annual lawn maintenance.
Major benefits of aeration:
Increases air, water and nutrient movement to the root zone
Intensifies decomposition of thatch
Helps relieve soil compaction
Stimulates new growth
Improves drainage
Increases tolerance to heat and cold
Increases the effectiveness of applied fertilizers and control products

SLICE SEEDING
Why Slice seed?
The lawn you depend on to enhance your homes beauty, to give your children a place to play, to create a healthier environment needs special attention.
Throughout the years, established turf can deteriorate from the presence of weak varieties, disease, drought, insect damage, poor soil conditions or thatch build up. Slice seeding can bring new life to your lawn.
What is slice seeding?
Slice seeding replaces deteriorated turf with new, improved, better adapted grasses. By seeding improved varieties into the existing lawn, the lawn is improved without the inconvenience and greater cost of re-establishing a new lawn.
To keep turf healthy and prevent problems from re-occurring, you need a regular, continuous program of fertilizing, watering, mowing, weed and insect control following slice seeding.
Advantages of slice seeding
The cost is reasonable. Although it depends on the condition and size of the lawn it is often the most cost-effective procedure for long term improvement.
Soil erosion is minimal since old turf remains in place.
Since new turf is protected by old turf, light foot traffic can be supported on the area after slice seeding.
The lawn will be healthier and more resistant to weeds, insects and diseases.

Grub Preventative
The grub is the most destructive of all lawn insects. This insect is the larva of the Japanese beetle, June bug, and several other beetle species. The grub has a large appetite for healthy green lawns. These insects hatch in July and August and can remain undetected or mistaken for drought stress. We at Quality Turf Services can prevent this from happening to your lawn with a one time annual application of our grub preventative. To ensure protection of your lawn please schedule before July 11.
New added benefit top feeding insect control included with grub prevention.
Price for this application depends on lawn size.
Residential clients only.
