Fertilization:
We
utilize both granular and liquid fertilizers, with our liquid
formulations , we custom blend the proper nutrients to meet your
properties needs and help them look their best. Alternative Earthcare
will have soil samples from your grounds tested to determine a starting
base which we will build off of. We will then adjust the nitrogen,
potassium and sulphur according to the results of the test. Whether you
are looking for a deep green color and minimum top growth or good color
and dense turf turf we can achieve those results. We have been testing
with great results an environmentally safe fertilizer that will not
leach into the ground water. Once applied in the spring, without a surge
in growth the fertilizer will slowly spoon feed the turf for up to 6
months.
Broadleaf Weed Controls:
There
is no one selective weed control product that will eliminate all weeds,
not non selective but controls that only target weeds. Alternative Earthcare will target the weeds that are the highest percentage in your turf ie; Clover, Dandelions, Henbit and Mumweed.
We will apply the least toxic, lowest odor products available to us and
apply according to the label recommendations. Harder to control weeds
sometimes need to treatments to totally control them such as violets, we
will spot spray your property especially in sensitive areas when
possible.
Grassy Weeds:
Grassy weeds such as Nutsedge, Crabgrass and Foxtail
are harder to control; a second treatment will be needed to totally
eradicate these undesirable grasses. When treating these weeds we spot
treat and add a sticking and penetrating agent that will help us to
achieve positive results.
Fungus And Diseases:
Fungus
and diseses are brought on by environmental and weather conditions.
Where we cannot control the weather such as high humid temperatures and
drought, we can control our cultural practices like watering and mowing.
This will help along with seeding for the more resistent varieties of
seed (turf type tall fescue). Fungicides can help before the disease
gets down to the crown and root system and eventually killing the the
turf plant . Their are no guarantees with fungicides because we cannot
control mother nature and the products are very costly. We do monitor
your turf for these diseases, because some disease thrive on nitrogen
such as leaf spot.
Over fertilizing will only worsen the situation. In the spring there is a fungus called Redthread which produces small patches in the turf and the tip of the grass plant looks like red sowing thread. Most lawn care companies will ether apply nitrogen or a fungicide as this fungus is brought on by iron deficiency and that is why we add iron to our late spring treatment.

Core Aeration:
The
root zone of the grass plant needs water and air to remain healthy,
there are a few factors which will lead to heavy compaction in the soil.
Heavy machinery, excessive foot traffic and extended drought are all
contributing factors in making the soil hard like cement. The Aerification Process
is essential in bringing turf back to its healthy and thick form.The
process will take cores of soil from the ground which will allow the
soil to breathe, then we will over seed with a summer stress blend of
grass which is more drought resistant.
Slit Seeding:
When
there are larger areas of turf that need to be renovated or need to be
thickened to help recover from stress or to help fight off undesirable
weeds and grasses. While making rows of lines in the soil the seeder
will drop a good amount of seed into these rows followed by a brush
which will cover the seeds.
Vegetation Control:
Vegetation that grows wild on bare land, graded lots and commercial properties can be a potential breeding ground for pests. Proper weed control can help protect your property value, preserve your relationship with the community.
For complete vegetation control of your property the following services are provided:- Weed prevention in bare dirt or gravel areas, on walkways, in parking lots and throughout planted landscapes.
- Applications prior to paving to prevent weed breakthrough in asphalt paving.
- Selective grassy weed control in established planting areas.
- Weed control in bare areas and in cracks and crevices in and around load-bearing surfaces.
- Long-term weed suppression in industrial areas.
- Combined pre-emergence and post-emergence applications.
- Pre-emergence applications to established plantings to prevent weed germination.
Our Tree and Shrub Care Program includes:
- Insect Control
- Disease Control
- Scale Control
- Dormant Oil
- Deep Root Feedings
Insect control:
We monitor your property each visit and will treat the
affected plants with a broad spectrum product to help minimize damage .
We will apply the right product at the correct time and at the correct
rates according to the label. For harder to control insects, such as
scale we will soil soak around the base of the plant. For insects that
bore into the bark of birch and beech trees Alternative Earthcare will inject the tree with treatments into the base of the tree to help extend the life of the tree.
Disease Control:
Alternative Earthcare uses an
integrated approach to managing insects and diseases that begins with
maintaining plant health using alternative practices which include soil
sampling and creation of plans to make for optimal soil conditions for
plant growth. Periodic inspections are essential to detect pest
infestations before they reach damaging levels.
Scale Control:
Both Soft Shell and Armored Scale are difficult to
control. Soft shell scale excrete honey dew that will create a fungus
called sooty mold which will interfere with photosynthesis within the
plan. We treat this mold with dormant oils in the spring and a contact
and systemic soil soak will help the plants get rid of these damaging
insects.
Dormant Oils:
Dormant oils are effective in controlling certain
scales that overwinter as nymphs or adults such as Cottony Maple,
Euonymus, Lecanium, and Obscure Scale. We at Alternative Earthcare
apply such oils in early spring and late summer to eradicate insects by
killing them while they are still in the egg part of the cycle.
Deep Root Feedings:
Deep Root Fertilization is a process where a Alternative Earthcare
technician injects our specially blended fertilizer directly into the
root zone of your trees and shrubs. Our timed release fertilizer formula
continuously feeds and nourishes your landscape throughout the entire
growing season to give you the healthiest and vibrant landscape
possible. Alternative Earthcare’s balanced deep root
fertilizer blend includes precise amounts of premium slow-release
nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, iron, and a micronutrient package
along with beneficial Humic Acid all designed to significantly enhance
the health and beauty of your valuable landscape all season long. We
root feed in both the spring and the fall of each year.
