Turfgrass is temperamental. It needs to be well fed. It needs to be watched closely for disease and signs of pests that would gladly eat it. It needs to be cut correctly and conditioned carefully. If you choose a company that is licensed, experienced and has been well trained, well then, that's the right choice.

Seasonal Dethatching
Thatch (that thick, mat like layer of dead leaves, grass and weed rhizomes laying directly on top of soil) builds up over the growing season. Removing this twice a year is included with our Turfgrass Management Program and helps keep your lawn healthy and greener.
Core Aeration
This is the process of removing small cores of soil and grass to improve the lawns ability to breathe. Lawn soils become compacted over time and this increased soil density restricts air flow, choking your grass. Aeration performed in a timely manner keeps your grass from slowly dying. This vital service is included in our Turfgrass Management program
Overseeding
By systematically seeding your correctly prepared lawn with new premium grass seed you can dramatically improve the health and appearance of your lawn, and increase resistance to seasonal drought stress. The preparation and planting of premium seed is an integral part of our Turfgrass Management Program.
Top Dressing
Amend your turfgrass soil by adding a layer of custom mixed organic material directly on top of your properly prepared lawn in the process known as topdressing. The results are often stunning and a reason why our lawn treatment leads to lawn envy! Included with our Turfgrass Management Program
Real Time Soil readings
- Instant onsite measurements of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium levels.
- Soil pH calculations
- Moisture readings
Lawns Inc uses this technology in our Lawn Treatment Program to identify and address soil chemistry issues before the turfgrass plant is effected. Testing with this method does not replace the Agricultural Extension soil laboratory results, but rather provides a useful correlation for quick field reference. Included with our Turfgrass Management Program.
Micro Dose Soil Amendments
Nutrient depletion of residential lawn soil has traditionally been addressed with extensive fertilizer application. A professional option, "micro-dosing" uses a program of regular testing and routine application of small measured amounts of nutrients to stop the cycle. In our Lawn Treatment option, this cost effective solution is used in conjunction with real time soil chemistry readings to enhance turfgrass color, root strength, and overall health. Included with our Turfgrass Management Program
"Sharp Blade Service"
We refer to our business philosophy as "Sharp Blade Service" because we realize the best looking lawn on the lane is cut by the sharpest blades on the block. That's why we sharpen our blades before every cut. Of these two actual blades, which one would you want to shave with? Our commitment to excellence in lawn finishing is unparalleled. A part of our outstanding lawn finishing
Seasonal Fertilization
There are many ways to get this wrong, but get it right and the whole neighborhood will notice. Lawn Fertilization is both a science and an art. And when it comes to green, Lawns Inc. has the art down to a science. Included in our Turfgrass Management Program
Weed and insect control
Some look for weeds amongst their grass, others look for grass amongst their weeds. All we are saying, is don't give weeds a chance. Put your beetles behind you, and let Lawns Inc. do what we do for you. Service included with our Turfgrass Management Program
Lawn leaf control
When leaves pile up, they risk degrading your lawn. When necessary to prevent damage from fungi, mold and pests, we will sweep and vacuum the lawn and haul the detritus away. Included in our Turfgrass Management Program
Contamination Control
As a whole, procedures to control cross contamination of your lawn are notably absent from the residential lawn care industry.
It's unfortunate that when some providers arrive, they bring along with them the remnants of broadleafs, sedges, rushes, annual bluegrass and crabgrasses from previously cut lawns.
Lawns Inc., as NC Turfgrass Council Certified Professionals are committed to higher standards. During our pre-cut "Sharp Blade Service", we clean and disinfect our equipment both above deck and below deck. Part of our outstand lawn finishing.
