Spring Lawn Clean-up Package Descriptions

Bronze Package

Power rakes remove the dead debris and crust that builds up over winter. It is a gentle way to manage thatch that has built up from the previous season.

The blades are set to slice channels through the thatch level and into the root zone.

This maintains an existing thatch which is critical to healthy turf as it serves as a barrier to weed germination and preserves moisture in the root zone.

The thatch and debris brought to the surface during the power rake is vacuumed up during the mowing process.

All thatch and debris is loaded and hauled away.



Silver Package

This package extends the process after a Bronze package to include a core aeration.

Core aeration is often described as the most important thing you can do to create a healthy, thick and robust lawn.

The main benefits are:

  • Reduces and relieves soil compaction
  • Encourages deep healthy roots and greater drought tolerance in summer
  • Removes excess thatch layers
  • Helps eliminate drought stress
  • Reduces weed infestations
  • Reduces insect and disease incidence
  • Increases uptake of fertilizer and water
  • Stimulates new turf growth

Gold Package

This package extends a Silver package to include an application of fertilizer.

We use slow release fertilizers which meter-out nutrients over many weeks.

The fertilizers tend to produce turf with good color without excessive leaf growth.
