Pricing

We do not offer any commercialized fertilizers or any commercial lawn treatments such as Spray On Fertilizer or Weed Control.

Fertilizer we do offer – Super Crop – is granular, child & pet friendly, and purchased from a local Turf Farm in Colorado Springs. Super Crop is blended locally in Colorado. It has all-natural nutrients and does not have any chemical weed controlling agents. 20-20-10 – 20 parts Nitrogen – 20 parts Phosphate – 10 parts Potassium. This is a much higher Phosphate and Potassium count than you will find in your standard big box store fertilizer. Big box store fertilizer is almost all Nitrogen which only feeds the blades of grass. It gives the appearance of a healthy lawn short term because it beefs up the blades of grass but does little for the roots. The reason we aerate so often in Colorado is because we’re constantly trying to take care of grass roots to get them to thrive in our dry climate with clay & sandy soils. Super Crop offers higher counts of Phosphate & Potassium blended more evenly with Nitrogen and concentrates on feeding all the grass, blades & roots, which makes grass thrive so much better in our climate.

We offer a 4 – application fertilizer schedule. 1-Spring, 1-early Summer, 1-late Summer, & 1-Fall. Spring & Fall applications are great combined with Aeration.

***FERTILIZER APPLICATIONS NEED WATERED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID LAWN BURNING ***

Sports Turf Grass Seed by Vitality. A seed blend of Tall Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass, Perennial Ryegrass combined & designed for the durability of a sports field, resilient to harsh Colorado temperature changes and rough play, yet looks beautiful. The Fescue and Rye grasses mimic the look of Kentucky Bluegrass, so the seed doesn’t look like a blended grass seed. The Fescue and Rye germinate quickly to shade the incoming Kentucky Blue Grass. Sports Turf is designed to look amazing while requiring less water.

***WATERING SUGGESTION AFTER APPLICATION FOR BEST RESULTS: Set sprinklers to water daily if possible. (watering restrictions may prevent this, if so water as much as possible under restrictions). Avoid too long of periods in between watering cycles that will dry out the area to keep from growing. Keep moisture in as much as possible. Be patient as you won’t see new growth inside Aeration holes for about 2-3 weeks***

***Over-Seed is NOT for Lawn Repair. Gardening 101 – Grass seed needs to be inside the ground to grow. Any grass seed that stays on top of the ground will not germinate; we call that Bird Food. Over-seeding is to help “thicken” an existing lawn by grass seed falling or being watered into Aeration holes. Over-Seeding will not work to take the place of Lawn Repair.***

Unmarked sprinkler heads are not our responsibility. We do the best we can to look out for unmarked sprinklers, however as a precaution we suggest marking all sprinkler heads or at minimum marking all heads that stick out more than 4-5 inches from the perimeter.

We use commercial Ryan Machines in which we apply approx. 50 lbs. extra weight past the manufacturer’s weight design. Small plugs are results from a dry/hard lawn that was not properly watered beforehand. No matter how much pressure or weight is applied, softer/ moisturized soil will always produce better aeration plugs. All lawns are overlapped heavily for lots of holes.

Leaf Pick Up is charged at our Hourly Rate vs. Power Raking is charged at a Flat Rate. The reason for this is because although the processes are similar, they are 2 different services. Leaf Pick Ups involve the whole property as Power Raking involve grass areas only. Grass areas can tend to be around the same sq. ft. even with varying lot sizes vs. varying size lots or lots with more trees take longer to Pick Up Leaves throughout the entire property. We always remain conscientious of our time and will do everything possible to get through Leaf Pick Up Jobs as quickly as we can to keep your cost low.

Green Grass Clippings are the only material we haul at no additional charge because Green Grass is free for us to dump as it gets recycled at a garden shop. Fall Debris from Clean Ups (leaves / pine needles) are automatically hauled and dumping charges are already included in the hourly rate. Spring Debris i.e., dead grass from Power Raking, is usually bagged and left on your property for your own residential trash service. If requested, we can haul away with an additional cost. Spring Power Rake Debris is typically minimal but hard for us to take with us as we’re usually loaded with equipment in the Spring and have limited space.

Flat Rate Pricing is based on a $90 per hour model for Small (less than <1,750 sq ft) (10% of yards), Average (1,751 – 3,500 sq ft)(70% of yards), Above Average (3,501 – 5,000 sq ft) (10% of yards), & Large Size (5,001 – 6,500 sq ft) (10% of yards) Residential Yards. For Residential Yards over 6,500 sq. ft. or Small Commercial Accounts, Flat Rate Pricing does not apply, and Pricing will be subject to a Quote based on $90 per hour. For example, the Average Yard serviced regularly takes about 30-45 minutes, therefore our flat rate charges average around $45-$65. For Larger Properties or Services that are not listed under Flat Rate Pricing, taking longer than average, 45-60 minutes & above, we then charge accordingly, $65 – $90 or more, depending on the service.
