*Synthetic chemical fertilizers contain phosphorous, nitrates and pesticides. These harmful chemical compounds make their way to rivers, streams and the ocean where they produce an overabundance of algae and plankton. This in turn creates an imbalance that depletes precious oxygen that wildlife needs to survive. The Dead Zone in the Gulf of Mexico is the worst aquatic hypoxic (low oxygen) zone in the world. There are many more dead zones developing throughout the world due to these very harmful substances. Locally, there are concerns about contamination in the Catawba River Basin and other local lakes, ponds, and streams.

We proudly use a product called Holganix. Holganix functions as a Biological Meta-Catalyst (a.k.a. bio-stimulant) by enabling plants to more efficiently uptake beneficial nutrients and pesticides. Because healthy plants are more able to resist disease and insect damage, using Holganix can result in decreases in the use of herbicides and pesticides. Significantly lower quantities of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides are needed to obtain the results previously only available through the use of traditional products. Best of all: fewer nitrates, phosphates, and other chemicals are released into the environment.
Through the use of micro-organisms and enzymes, Holganix turns just a small amount of fertilizer into one of the most effective lawn treatments available today. Holganix makes the soil healthier, lessens watering needs, reduces use of fertilizer and pesticides, almost eliminates the use of phosphates and nitrates, naturally balances the soil's pH, and is safe for kids, pets, and the environment.

Turf Disease Control
Our Turf Disease Control Program protects your turf against such turf fungal diseases as Brown Patch, Pythium Root Rot, and Dollar Spot. Our program is a proactive program which starts in Mid-May and continues for 4 applications every 28 days.
Turf Insect Control
Our Turf Insect Control Program controls surface and subsurface turf feeding insects. These insects include but are not limited to white grubs, mole crickets, and army worms. Turf insect damage is often misdiagnosed as disease or weather damage. Our proactive program will help protect your turf against such damage.
Turf Renovation
Our Turf Renovation Program includes the aeration and overseeding of your turf areas. Since we live in whats called the "Turf Transition Zone" meaning warm and cool seasons grasses will grow here, aeration and overseeding is a critical part of our turf programs. Core aeration helps with soil compaction and allows the turf to breath by introducing oxygen into the soil.
