Aera-Vation and Overseeding Services

Aera-Vation is a process which involves using a machine to cut small holes in the soil, helping water, oxygen and nutrients better access the roots. The process is an effective way to reduce compaction and improve drainage.

At Turf Medic, we use Aera-Vation as part of our program. We also offer overseeding, which is the process of planting additional seeds to increase the density. We use our knowledge and expertise to choose the right seed for your environment, also taking into consideration any existing weeds or disease problems.

Our aera-vation and overseeding program does not just improve the appearance of your yard – it also helps to reduce disease, weed infestations and water loss. The combination of the two can greatly benefit your lawn’s health and give it a lush, green appearance.

Corrective Lime Application

Corrective lime applications are an important component that helps promote healthy turf and ground conditions. Lime is an alkaline material, usually calcium-based, that when applied to the soil raises its pH level. This increases the availability of essential nutrients such as phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium for plants to absorb and use for growth.

At Turf Medic, corrective lime applications are part of our regular strategy. We work with you to determine the best timing for application based on your individual soil requirements and turf conditions. We use only the highest-quality limes that have been tested and proven to be effective in increasing pH levels for optimal growth.

Our professionals understand how important it is to get the job done right and ensure that it is evenly spread across your property. We take special care to apply the lime in a way that won’t damage any existing vegetation or create an uneven surface. As part of our service, we also provide post-application maintenance guidance and recommendations in order to get the best results from our corrective lime applications.

Tree & Shrub Care

At Turf Medic, we provide comprehensive tree and shrub care services to ensure the health and beauty of your landscape. Our experienced technicians are familiar with a variety of trees and shrubs, and can provide tailored advice for their maintenance. We apply fertilizers during the appropriate season that maximize plant growth while minimizing runoff pollution from your yard. 

Termite Bait System

Turf Medic is proud to offer a termite bait system. This system is designed to help protect your home from the destructive activity of subterranean termites. The bait system works by placing small pieces of wood, cardboard or other cellulose material around the perimeter and foundation of your home. These baits are then monitored routinely by pest and lawn care personnel to detect the presence of termites.The bait system is an effective way to control subterranean termites because it works on a slow acting but highly attractive chemical that termites cannot resist.

Lawn Treatment

At Turf Medic, we believe a healthy lawn should be accessible to everyone that is why our maintenance treatments begin with a thorough assessment of your yard to determine what type of treatment is required. We then apply the appropriate treatments for best results, taking into account any specific needs or reviews you may have. From there, our team will provide regular maintenance and advise on how to keep it looking its best.

Grass Growth Cycle

 

Growth is heavily influenced by the hot and humid climate of the region. During the summer months, it grows rapidly due to high temperatures and regular rainfall. However, it can suffer from heat stress during this period as well.

To ensure it stays healthy throughout the year, it’s important to understand its growth cycle. In most cases, it will go through four stages of development: germination, vegetative growth, maturity and dormancy.

During the germination stage, seeds are planted and sprout into tiny seedlings. These take several weeks to develop before entering the vegetative growth phase. Here, the blades become visible as they rapidly grow in length and thickness. This stage usually lasts a few weeks before it reaches maturity.

Once it has reached this point, it begins to flower and produce seeds. This is also when it stops growing in height and width, as its resources are now focused on reproduction rather than growth. At this stage, any fertilizers that have been applied start to take effect.

Finally, it enters a period of dormancy during the cooler months. Here, it stops growing and waits for warmer temperatures to resume its vegetative growth cycle. During this time, it’s important to keep the lawn hydrated and fertilized so that it can remain healthy until spring arrives.

What is the best treatment?

There are a number of  treatments available that can help to keep your yard looking its best. For warm-season grasses such as St. Augustine, centipede and bermuda grass, fertilization is essential in order for the grass to stay healthy and vibrant throughout the year. Additionally, regular application of pre-emergent herbicides can prevent weeds from taking root, while post-emergent herbicides are also a good option for treating existing weed problems. To ensure that your yard gets the best treatment possible, it is important to use treatments that are specifically designed for the climate – such as those that contain high levels of nitrogen and potassium, which help grasses to grow more quickly.

Pest control is also important for lawns, as there are a variety of insects and diseases that can damage the grass and impede its growth. In particular, chinch bugs and mole crickets can wreak havoc on your yard if left unchecked, while fungus problems such as brown patch or large patch can be prevented through regular applications of fungicides.

When should I fertilize?

Fertilizing your lawn is an important part of keeping it healthy and lush. The best time to fertilize a lawn is during the summer months, between May and September. This is when grasses are actively growing due to warmer temperatures and rainfall. Applying fertilizer during this period helps promote root growth, which keeps your lawn looking green and healthy.

What temperature is too hot to water?

When it comes to watering your yard, the temperature plays a major role in how effective the water will be. Generally speaking, temperatures over 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius) can be considered too hot to effectively water your yard. At such high temperatures, the water evaporates before it has a chance to penetrate deeply into the roots and provide any lasting benefit.

What Is The Cost?

The cost will depend on the size and type of yard, as well as the scope of work required. We offer a variety of packages to suit different budgets and needs. For more precise estimates and to learn more, we recommend contacting us directly.

Yes, we do! Our team is experienced in creating customized organic lawn care plans with natural fertilizers, pesticides and weed control methods. We can also provide advice on how to optimize your existing lawn care practices with organic solutions.

Do You Provide Ongoing Maintenance?

Yes, we do! We offer a range of packages to suit different budgets and needs, and can help you keep your yard looking great all year round with regular visits from our experienced team.

What is the cycle for grass growth in the United States?

Grass usually has two growth cycles each year: the warm season and the cool season. During the warm season, which typically runs from April to October, most varieties will rapidly start to grow. The cool season is generally November through March and during this time growth slows down significantly due to cooler temperatures. Moreso, mowing is an all-year-round activity in many places. In hotter states, it consistently grows at a measurable rate due to the relatively higher temperatures compared to the northern states.

 

How do I make my lawn thicker?

One of the best ways to create a thicker lawn is through overseeding. This involves spreading seed on top of your existing lawn, and ensuring that it gets enough sunlight, water and nutrients in order for it to thrive. It is important that you choose the right type of seed for your climate since different types are suited to different regions.

How long does it take for a sprinkler to water 1 inch?

The amount of time it takes for a sprinkler to water one inch depends on three main factors: the size and type of sprinkler, the pressure of the water flow, and the temperature outside. Generally speaking, it will take about an hour for a standard gear drive or rotary sprinkler to water one inch if the water pressure is adequate and the temperature is below 80°F (26.7°C). However, if the temperature is over 80°F it can take up to two hours for a sprinkler to water one inch due to the increased evaporation rate of hot weather.
