Mowing Services
Mowing of the lawn area
Trimming and edging along walkways, patios, buildings, landscape beds and driveways
Removal of debris
Proper mowing is essential to healthy lawns, as it promotes growth and keeps the lawn looking its best. If the proper grass height is maintained the roots will grow deeper. Deep roots promote growth of a healthy, dense lawn. The lawn will then withstand heavy use and will discourage the proliferation of weeds and disease.

De-Thatching
Mowing of the lawn area
De-thatching of lawn area
Removal of debris
Thatch is a dense layer of non-decomposed grass clippings, roots, & stems that gradually forms between the soil and base of the grass plant. The use of nitrogen-rich fertilizers and frequent watering, plus soil with a high clay content, can also contribute to thatch buildup. Thatch reduces effectiveness of pesticides and creates an ideal environment for insects & lawn diseases.

Aerating
We use a spike-aerator to loosen the soil, which allows air, water & vital nutrients to penetrate to the roots. Our aerating service is available throughout the growing season.

Repairing Existing Lawns 
Some of the common problems we see here in Alaska are:
Moss in the lawn
Mushrooms in the lawn
Weeds in the lawn
Dead area due to dog excrement
Dense thatch in the lawn
Compacted soil
Thin lawn (due to one of the above problems or due to other reasons)

Of course, there are other things that may cause problems with your lawn.

 We will assess the damage and apply the appropriate treatments.
