TURF CARE

ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE OPTIONS FOR YOUR LAWN


 Hertzler & George is proud to offer Williamsburg’s only turf care program certified by the Chesapeake Club . The Chesapeake Club provides guidelines for fertilizing that ensure the growth of strong, healthy grass – while keeping excess nutrients out of the Bay. Offering this program is a commitment we’ve made to our community and to our environment. If you’re not already on the program, may we serve you too? Together we can make a huge difference.

TURF FERTILIZATION PROGRAMS


 The key to plant health and beauty is in the roots. Most commercial and homeowner turf care programs ignore this fact. Not Hertzler & George. With an emphasis on organic matter and caring for the entire plant, our series of well-timed and thorough applications yields a beautiful and environmentally healthy lawn that will be the envy of the neighborhood.

WEED CONTROL


 Keeping weeds at bay is a homeowner’s constant battle. A preventative, vigilant approach results in less need for herbicides. We are acutely aware of the effects of any chemicals we apply and strive to balance a lawn’s many needs and its environmental impact.

DISEASE & INSECT MONITORING


Insects are an important part of the soil ecosystem but a few are detrimental to our lawns. Brown patch and other diseases are an on-going issue for lawns in our area. In treating these problems, most companies and homeowners blanket-spray the entire lawn with harsh chemicals. We have found that a program using beneficial organisms and a system of spot-spraying yields far better results.

LAWN CORE AERATION

Soil in our area tends to be heavy, with a high percentage of clay. When soil compacts, water and oxygen are prevented from getting to the roots where it is needed. Our process of core aeration extracts small cores from your lawn to loosen compacted soils. We have found that regular aeration is an effective way to improve a lawn’s health and appearance.
