Program Add-Ons

pH Correction -- Primary and Secondary Nutrients are most available at a pH level of 6.5 to 7.0. Fertilizer and chemical dollars are not wasted when the soil is in this pH range. Limestone will neutralize fertilizer and soil acidity, thereby releasing nutrients from the soil for plant use. Calcium, derived from limestone, is an essential nutrient for plant growth. Limestone also develops and maintains a desirable soil structure for turf growth. Proper pH levels in the soil also enhances soil activity of herbicides and insecticides.  Ideal pH level is the most important ingredient of a good lawn care program.

Nutsedge Spraying - There are a few weeds such as Nutsedge that are resistant to pre-emerge herbicides, systemic weed killers, and can only be controlled effectively when sprayed with a "contact weed killer" after it has germinated. Nutsedge can only be controlled with one selective contact herbicide that won't harm the grass. Nutsedge is a light green, weed-like grass with a triangle shaped stock that grows faster and taller than the other grass in your lawn.

COST: Due to the nature of Nutsedge, spray applications will be in addition to the annual programs and cost will be determined by the amount of spray necessary to kill the infestation.

Tree Problems - Are insects or disease attacking your beautiful trees? Give Central MO Turf Management a call and let our Tree Specialist help solve your problems. Many diseases can be eliminated if treated early. Insects such as Tent Caterpillars, Bagworms, and boring insects can kill, or severely weaken a tree if left untreated. Fungus and Scale are serious disease problems and can weaken or kill the tree if not treated.

COST: Determined by the size of tree, number of trees to be treated, and problem being solved.

Insect Problems - Is there a problem with "moving or marching" insects in your area such as the famous Grasshopper and Army Worm invasions that have the potential to be very destructive.

If you see any indication of these insects in your lawn, call Central MO Turf Management immediately.

Aeration and Thatch Removal - Aeration allows air and moisture to penetrate the soil more easily. Dethatching removes decaying leaves and grass clippings before they can build up and smother the grass or become a home for fungus growth. Dethatching should be done on an "as needed" basis when the thatch exceeds one-half inch. Aeration is recommended every one to three years depending on soil type and lawn use.

COST: Determined by size of lawn.

Mulch Landscape Beds - Central MO Turf Management can clean and dress up your landscape beds with new mulch in the early spring.

COST: Determined by cost of mulch and labor necessary to complete the job.
