FEED THE SOIL MICROBES

Microbes are naturally occurring microorganisms in the soil that strengthen plants and improve soil structures. Without microbes in our soils, we do not have healthy environments for plant growth. Through compost we feed the soil microbes & earthworms that release nutrients, relieving compaction and thatch problems. Microbes play a pivotal role in the soil food web which maintains a natural, healthy diverse eco-system filled with fungus, bacteria and the other beneficial living organisms your plants need for food.

ORGANIC COMPOST LAWN TOP DRESSING

We offer TopDressing for lawns up to ¼” layer of premium compost using our specialized spreaders (double layer of up to ½” is also available). This process ensures a uniform layer of luscious compost that spreading by rakes and wheelbarrows simply can’t achieve. Pricinc is based on lawn square footage. Satellite measurement options are available based on your address. Flower beds are not included in the lawn top dressing price.

For unhealthy areas, we can apply Soil Bio-Inoculants to aid recovery and build a strong immune system for the plants and roots. For compacted soils we can apply MicroLife Humates Plus, a soil conditioner adding billions of beneficial microbes, Mycorrhizal Fungi & Nitrogen fixing bacteria.

Optional Annual Feeding Program:

TURF BLEND (50/50) MIX TOP DRESSING

Professional spreading of turf blend (compost/sand mix) over the lawn at a double pass using our specialized top dressing machines, adds soil and helps with minor leveling issues.  The turf blend looks like dark, rich soil. This will not fill in any deep holes to trenches and does not include manual. (If you have a few holes you want to be filled, mark them and we will fill them as we spread the mix). If you mow with a reel mower below 1" please let us know as a special mix may be needed

TURF BLEND (50/50) MIX & LAWN LEVELING

A man standing in the grass next to a truck.

A premium turf blend mix of sand & compost is spread over the lawn at a double rate using our specialized Top Dressing machines, this adds a soil blend and helps with minor leveling issues. If your lawn has "ankle twister" holes, divots, or collapsed sprinkler lines, we recommend our Comprehensive leveling in those areas (increased price). This involves filling in and compacting the holes, top dressing with our soil mix, then using specialized leveling tools to smooth it out. Price based upon cubic yard of soil.  This process is best prior to seeding or when grass is actively growing.  We can also fill in around foundations, trenches, and eroded areas. To keep soil from eroding, lawn might seeding or sodding after soil is spread, but usually will fill in those areas in a few weeks.
