Commercial Grounds Maintenance
When it comes to playability, proper sports turf maintenance is key. The last thing you want to see is an athlete suffer an injury on your field due to a lack of proper athletic field maintenance. Beyond the risk of accidents or adverse impact on performance, you can also decrease the life of your field if it’s not professionally maintained over time. Whether you have a synthetic turf field or natural turf, there is no such thing as “maintenance-free” when it comes to sports fields. Both require ongoing expert care not only to get the most out of them but in the case of synthetic turf, to make sure the warranty is not in jeopardy. We also include sport facility cleaning including trash removal from prior events.
General Landscaping
We have a full line of reel mowing machines to handle multiple fields. Reel mowers are like a pair of scissors, and cut by a helical blade meeting a bed-knife. With that clean scissor cut [with reel mowers], the tip of the grass blade is clean, it doesn’t have tears, it’s not as susceptible to disease or other maladies from an agronomic standpoint. If you want finely maintained turf, a reel mower is going to give you a much cleaner cut. We do offer basic mowing services as well. Relieve yourself and your organization in handling the daily maintenance of reel mowing equipment and the costly lease program. Ask us what else is included in our general landscaping programs!

Topdressing and Hollow Tine Aeration
We provide the highest quality topdressing and aeration programs. Our equipment provides the best results for high-use athletic fields. Hollow tines aeration create many small holes that maximize water percolation, allows the necessary oxygen to penetrate the soil, and aide in getting fertilizer to the root zone creating a hardier plant that is durable enough to withstand the pounding that occurs on athletic fields. Top dressing is done immediately after core aeration. It is useful in controlling thatch and leveling out low spots on playing surfaces. It aides in irrigation, drainage and the playability of fields. We only use a high-quality washed sand that is free of weed seeds and other contaminants.

We offer customized fertilizer applications that can be developed with the use of a soil test to meet the specific needs of your situation.Whether your site is a sports field, landscape or a golf course, fertilization is the most efficient and accurate method to feed the plant and soil.
