ORGANIC

Our Organic Turf Care Package is a 5-application program using no controlled products, only premium organic slow-release fertilizers. By incorporating a comprehensive soil test, this program was designed to strengthen not only the turf but the soil as well. Using only organic fertilizers and soil amendments, our goal is to fortify the turf to become more resistant to disease and insect invasion.

PLATINUM

This package offers everything you need for a beautiful lawn regardless of its current condition.

  • 5 fertilizer treatments featuring our custom organic-based blend

  • Broadleaf weed control

  • Surface feeding insect control

  • Season-long preventative grub protection

  • Pre-emergent crabgrass reducer

  • Satisfaction guarantee

  • Free service calls

  • Free pH soil test

ORGANIC+Rx

We designed this program for the busy family who is frequently using their lawns and don’t want to wonder if it is safe for their children or pets to go out on the lawn after we treated the property. On the first treatment of the year, we will make a custom liquid application that includes a slow-release fertilizer, selective broadleaf weed control, pre-emergent crabgrass reducer, and preventive grub control. This treatment, in essence, gets all the pests out of the way in one application. All remaining applications include premium organic fertilizer.

LAWN CARE PACKAGES

Lawn Renovation

Your yard is a living and breathing organism—this means it needs the proper nutrients in order to grow and be the healthiest, most beautiful yard it can be. Our Lawn Renovation plans ensure that your soil is properly prepared to absorb optimal amounts of nutrients, water, and sunlight. 

Our Lawn Renovation program includes:

  • Overlapping aeration multiple times, loosening the soil for optimal seed contact.

  • Seeding in the fall. 

  • Raking the soil in order to improve the seed-to-soil contact.

  • Lawn fertilization, giving the newly planted seeds the best opportunity to thrive.

Grub Control

Beetle larva, more commonly known as grubs, are the white, C-shaped insects you may see in your yard. They live underground, so you may not know you have a grub infestation unless you see dead patches in your grass or your yard feels spongy. If you suspect grubs, pull back the turf—if the grass pulls up easily (almost like new sod), you may find white grubs in the top inch of the soil.

We offer two types of grub control:

  1. Year-long grub prevention, preventing existing grub eggs from hatching throughout the season. This is applied with our Early Spring Pre-Emergent Application.

  2. Curative grub control for existing grubs. This can be applied any time throughout the year, and it may be repeated.

Weed Control

Tired of pulling weeds? Who isn't! With our weed control, known as our vegetation management program, The Turf Doctor can provide season-long control of unwanted grasses and weeds. This program is perfect for mulch beds, crushed stone walkways, driveways, cracks in asphalt and concrete, ditches, fence lines, patios, and sidewalks.

Our weed control includes treatment for the most common weeds in Maine:

  • Broadleaf—chickweeds, dandelions, spurges.

  • Grassy weeds—crabgrass and foxtails.

  • Nutsedge

  • And other undesirable grasses!

Liquid Aeration

Your grass grows best when the soil in which it’s rooted is soft and thriving with microbial life. But a normal year of use will cause your soil to grow compacted, which stifles root growth by preventing key nutrients from reaching your grass’s roots. Hard soil also makes it more difficult for grass roots to push through the compacted dirt, which doesn’t help anything! The Turf Doctor’s Liquid Aeration consists of a special formula designed to break up and soften your soil, spurring healthy growth.

We can’t overstate how important aeration is to the health of your grass. If you and your family use your lawn heavily (which we hope you do!) you may need to aerate more frequently. 

Common signs that your lawn is in need of liquid aeration:

  • Areas of heavy foot traffic have become brown and dry.

  • The soil in your lawn physically feels hard.

  • Water is pooling on your lawn, or running off, rather than absorbing.

  • Your grass seems to be struggling to fight off weeds and disease.

  • Your grass is laden with thatch, the yellow layer of dead grass that accumulates at the top of the soil.

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, or your lawn seems to be dull or yellow in color, liquid aeration can bring it back to its lush, green state.

Liquid aeration benefits:

  • Increasing air and water flow to your grass’s roots.

  • Helping the roots of your lawn grow deeper.

  • Increased absorption and reduced pooling after rain.

  • Helping your grass naturally outcompete weeds and resilience to disease.

  • Breaking down thatch that impedes your grass’s access to nutrients.

  • It’s quicker, quieter, and less labor intensive than core aeration.
