Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Get an Estimate for My Lawn or Ornamental Trees and Shrubs?

Getting started is simple.

All that is needed is your name, address, phone number, and email address. You can call the office or fill out the contact form online. Your email is used strictly for business communication. No selling, no spam.

A licensed technician visits your property, evaluates the lawn and plant material, and looks for any special concerns you mention or may stand out. After the visit, you receive a detailed quote either by email or in a printed packet left at your door, based on your preference.

This solves the common frustration of not knowing what you are paying for. You get a clear plan based on real property conditions, not guesswork. If something is unclear, you can call the office and speak to a real person who will walk you through it.

What Is the Difference Between the Two Lawn Care Programs?

The Basic Program includes fertilization, weed control, crabgrass control, grub control, and surface insect control. These components are the basic necessities required to keep most lawn challenges to a minimum while promoting a healthy green lawn.

The Basic Plus Organic Program includes all the components of the Basic Program PLUS multiple organic materials that improve the environment of your soil biology. The goal is to balance the soil chemistry and feed the soil to increase microbial activity, which helps your grass process and utilize nutrients more effectively.

Our Basic Plus Organic Program will build meaningful soil health as well as long-term turf quality.

Both programs rely heavily on liquid applications. Liquid treatments are absorbed quickly and are more readily available for the plant. This leads to faster visible results and subsurface root response.

For homeowners in Scotch Plains, NJ who care about sustainable improvement, the added soil support makes a meaningful difference over time. Contact us to get started today.

Do You Offer a Guarantee?

The guarantee is simple. We continue working with you until you are satisfied with the progress.

No one can promise a perfect lawn every year. Weather, traffic, irrigation, and environmental pressures all play a role. Perfection in nature is not a realistic expectation.

What you can expect is ongoing support from a dedicated, responsible team of professionals committed to providing a healthy sustainable landscape. That means fewer unanswered questions and fewer unresolved problems.

Is It All Organic?

No.

There are currently no reliable and economical means to consistently handle weeds, grubs, and insects at a high level using 100% organic products. Both lawn care programs use targeted control products when needed. That being said, we believe in using organic products to encourage optimal soil health and a growing environment that’s foundational for a healthy, sustainable landscape.

This balanced approach gives you effective control while also building a healthier, growing environment.

If incorporating organics into your lawn care program aligns with your goals, the Basic plus Organic program is a great fit.

Do You Use Chemicals or Pesticides?

Yes.

If you want effective weed, grub, crabgrass, and insect control, products containing pesticides are required. However, any products that we choose to use are thoroughly researched, taking into account university trials, manufacturer recommendations, and general health precautions. We choose products that minimize risk to the technician, client, and environment as a whole, while still effectively solving the problem at hand (weeds, insects, disease, etc.).

The goal is not blanket spraying. It is applying the right product at the right time and supporting soil health to reduce pesticide dependency over time.

This approach protects your investment and supports long-term lawn performance in Scotch Plains and nearby communities. Contact us to get started today.

Why Do I Need a Soil Test?

A soil test reveals what is happening below the surface.

If soil chemistry is out of balance, the products applied to your lawn may not be as effective. You could be paying for treatments that your lawn cannot fully use, leading to a lawn that does not meet your expectations.

Soil testing provides recommendations based on actual data. When soil chemistry is corrected, everything else becomes more effective.

Healthy soil equals a healthy lawn. Contact us to get started today.

Do I Have to Do the Soil Test?

Yes. If the goal is a quality lawn, it all starts with the soil.

Without soil data, recommendations would be based on assumptions. Soil testing is a core part of building a stronger lawn and avoiding wasted applications.

What Happens After the Soil Test?

The soil sample is sent to a lab for analysis. A copy of the results, recommendations, and pricing for any corrective work are sent for your review.

While the recommendations are optional, they are necessary to address imbalances in the soil. Correcting soil issues improves the overall health of the soil and the effectiveness of the lawn care program.

Corrective recommendations are not included in your initial agreement because the results are unknown at the start.

When Do You Apply Lime?

Lime recommendations are based strictly on soil test results for Ph adjustments.

If your soil requires lime, you receive exact application rates and pricing. You can choose to have the work completed professionally or apply it yourself using the provided specifications.

Do You Fertilize Trees and Shrubs?

Yes.

Trees and shrubs benefit from yearly feeding, typically in the fall. Fertilization supports root development and overall plant health.

The same organic-enhanced approach used in the lawn program is applied to support soil conditions around landscape plants.

For property owners in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, maintaining shrubs and trees is often less expensive than replacing them. Contact us to get started today.

Do I Have to Enroll in a Full Shrub and Tree Program?

No.

If you have a problem with a specific tree or shrub, a technician can evaluate it and provide recommendations.

However, a complete Plant Health Care program offers more consistent monitoring and early problem detection, which helps prevent major decline.

Do You Trim Trees?

No.

Tree trimming is not part of OUR service offering. However, referrals can be provided to trusted professionals when needed.

Why Is a Deposit Required?

A deposit helps offset upfront operational costs.

This structure allows pricing to remain consistent and supports the ability to maintain trained staff, licensed technicians, and responsive service.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us for more information. 

What Happens to My Deposit?

Your deposit remains on your account.

If you decide to end service, the deposit is applied to your final balance. If no balance is due, you receive a refund.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us for more information.
