LAWN MAINTENANCE

Charlotte Groundskeepers, Inc. takes lawn care seriously. Our goal is to make your lawn one that people recognize for its beauty.  One way we do this is through our weekly lawn maintenance program. 

Since we have such a high standard for lawn maintenance, we use only the best equipment.

We can provide lawn maintenance for any type of lawn from fescue to Bermuda, and residential to commercial. We also offer other lawn maintenance programs such as spring and fall clean up, and gutter cleaning. We will meet and exceed your expectations for lawn maintenance.

Weekly Lawn Maintenance Includes:

Mowing

All turf areas will be mowed and trimmed every week during the growing season; except when weather dictates otherwise, not to exceed a 12 day interval. All walkways, driveways and curbs will be edged with a metal blade to ensure a crisp appearance. All grass and debris will be removed from all hard surfaces after the turf is trimmed.

Leaf Removal

All leaves will be removed on a weekly basis throughout the period of 6 to 8 weeks during leaf season. Leaves will be removed from all turf and natural areas or as specified by client.

Fertilization

All turf areas will receive 5 applications of fertilizer per year, using a complete slow release fertilizer. Soil tests will be performed and Lime applied to maintain correct pH level (as warranted).

WEED CONTROL

Turf Areas

Weeds will be kept under control to maintain a reasonably weed free and healthy turf.

Natural Areas

Plant beds will be checked weekly for weeds. They will be kept reasonably weed free. Weeding of plant beds will be done using pre and post-emergent herbicides, as well as by hand.

HEDGE TRIMMING/PRUNING

All plants and shrubs will receive contour trimming and selective hand pruning throughout the growing season. (2 times per year)

FLOWER BEDS

Each flower bed will receive two change outs per year. (2 beds) Each flower bed will receive flats of flowers, top soil, fertilizer, and Pine mulch. Planting will occur in the spring between April 15th and May 15th. Planting will occur in the fall between October 1st and October 31st.

PINE NEEDLES/MULCH

All beds and common areas will receive long leaf pine needles once per year during the month of February. All beds and common areas will receive mulch once per year during the month of February.

CORE AERATION

Lawn aeration is the process of removing small soil plugs or cores from you lawn. When you aerate, it decreases thatch build up, improves the grass rooting systems, enhances the infiltration of rainfall or irrigation and prevents fertilizer and pesticide run-off. The fall is the perfect time of year to have your lawn aerated.
