Landscape Maintenance / Turf Management

Mowing
Our trained, knowledgeable crews specialize in weekly mowing, trimming and edging for a well-manicured lawn.

Fertilization
Providing an environmentally responsible fertilization program designed to keep your lawn healthy while keeping pesticide use to a minimum just makes good sense. Alpha Landscape Contractors is licensed by the Department of Agriculture to provide crabgrass prevention, broadleaf weed control (dandelions), insect & grub control, disease control, soil testing and lime applications.

Aeration
Aeration is a highly beneficial service designed to reduce compaction and thatch to your lawn while allowing air, water and nutrients to penetrate to the root zone. Combined with over-seeding it’s an important tool in keeping your space healthy.

Renovation
Renovation (or slice-seeding)combines de-thatching and over-seeding in one process.  By removing the thatch and depositing the seed directly into the soil, Renovating ensures a high germination rate. Renovation is ideal for newer lawns that never quite filled in to your expectations.

Hydro-Seeding & Sodding
Hydro-seeding is the simultaneous application grass seed, fertilizer and tacking agent. Ideal for large construction sites, new home sites, or hillsides where quick establishment and/or stabilization is required. Or, if you desire the immediate look of an established lawn, consider sod for your next project. Sod perfectly creates a new lawn and can be used on residential and commercial installations.

Mulching
Installing new mulch periodically not only looks pleasing, it’s also beneficial to your trees and shrubs. Mulch keeps moisture in and suppresses weed growth. From 1 yard to 100  yards and anywhere in between, Alpha Landscape Contractors will handle your mulch project quickly and easily.

Pruning
Done correctly, proper pruning of trees and shrubs is not only aesthetically pleasing, it is also essential to plant health.  We will maintain your most delicate specimens and topiaries or large hedges.

Leaf Removal
We RECYCLE leaves!  Using a system of push and backpack blowers and leaf vacuums, we collect your leaves to our yard where the composting process begins. The composted or “recycled” leaf product is used as a soil amendment in our planting jobs. It’s a great way to give back to the environment!

Plant/Shrub Bed Maintenance
Keeping your shrub and plant beds neat, tidy, and weed-free can be a difficult and arduous task.  Let us provide that service for you. Weeding, watering, fertilizing or planting - everything you need to keep your beds in order. Alpha Landscape Contractors can even provide cut-back of perennials and ornamental grasses at the end of the growing season for a fresh look all year long.

Spring & Fall Clean-Ups
Who has the time and energy to remove all the leaves, twigs, trash and other debris that always accumulates in your shrub or planting beds? Combine this service with mulching in the spring or leaf clean-up in the fall for a well-manicured look all season long!
