At the The Garden Path, you will find that we not only mow a perfect lawn, but we can grow one as well. The Garden Path offers a professional lawn care service that provides customers with complete custom fertility plans, soil conditioning applications, and weed, insect, and disease control options. High-quality organic programs are also available for our customers who express concerns with pesticide and synthetic fertilizer usage. In our fertility and pest control programs, we employ soil testing for nutrient levels and careful pest scouting and monitoring to ensure that no treatments are made without a recommendation, diagnosis, and/or request. As a client, you can expect a dense, healthy lawn that performs year-round to compliment your home and landscape. Additionally, your lawn will be serviced by our state-certified commercial fertilizer and pesticide applicator who will be fully accessible to you, should you have any questions or require a diagnostic inspection for your lawn.

It is easy for many of us to neglect lawn maintenance in today’s busy world. Some feel that mowing a lawn simply keeps it from the scrutiny of their neighbors. Allow The Garden Path to change your mind. Our mowing service uses and maintains equipment of the highest quality to provide you with the best cut and an eye-catching striped or checkered appearance. In addition, our skilled staff has an unparalleled attention to detail when it comes to trim work and cleaning. With our mowing service, your lawn will have a clean, highly attractive pattern and an even, clump-free cut. Additionally, expect every grass-blade to be cut and every clipping cleaned from all landscape beds, curbs, walks, and driveways. Clipping removal (bagging) and height-of-cut options are also available to all of our customers.

Building a new home can be stressful enough without having to worry about your new lawn and landscape. Allow us to plant and grow-in your fresh, new lawn from select seed or premium sod that is best fit for your maintenance requirements and your home site’s particular environmental conditions. Because we use quality, fresh topsoil and soil-test recommended starter fertilizers, you can expect fast establishment and a healthy start to a lawn that will last a lifetime. Additionally, if your existing lawn has thinned out, was planted with less-than-attractive grasses, or has been invaded by weeds; The Garden Path is prepared to take corrective action to restore density, color, and vigor to your lawn with an intensive over-seeding or complete sod renovation.

All mature lawns develop a thatch layer between the green, leafy parts of the grass plants and the soil. This thatch layer is composed of living and dead stems, roots, and decomposing plant tissues. Over time, this layer can expand to a thickness that restricts root growth, decreases stress tolerance, and reduces the efficacy of fertilizers and pesticides. Aeration and dethatching are two very instrumental tools that turf professionals use to reduce thatch levels, relieve compacted soils, and to increase air and water infiltration and root growth. For this reason, the Garden Path offers lawn aerification and dethatching programs to give you an even healthier and more attractive turfgrass stand.

Proper soil water management is one of the most important keys to a lush, beautiful lawn. Unfortunately, this is a troublesome task for most homeowners. It is difficult to correctly determine watering times and quantities. Additionally, hoses and portable sprinklers can be a hassle to deal with, and evenly providing water to an entire lawn is an extremely time-consuming and difficult task. Consider increasing the value of your home, reducing your workload, and maintaining a healthy, green lawn and landscape from year to year. With an automatic irrigation system designed, serviced, installed and programmed by The Garden Path, this consideration can be made an attainable reality. You will be amazed by the simplicity and versatility of today’s irrigation controls.

At the other end of the soil-water management spectrum is the removal of excess water. Proper soil drainage is a very important consideration if your goal is healthy, sustainable landscape. Often, there are areas in our landscape that do not drain well enough to allow plants to flourish and thrive. Excess soil-water can be detrimental to the long-term survival of turfgrasses and ornamental landscape plants. Continually saturated soils promote plant diseases and soil compaction, and restrict oxygen from reaching plant roots. Standing water and soggy soil also reduce the aesthetic value and usability of your property. The Garden Path designs and installs subsurface drainage systems that are capable of efficiently removing excessive amounts of rain or irrigation water.
