Our Lawn Care Services Include:
- Scheduled Lawn and Yard Maintenance: Let us schedule a lawn or yard routine for you, usually the same day and time each week. All the debris and clippings are bagged and are taken with us. (Each week we cut the lawn in a different direction which will help reduce soil compaction and turf wear from the wheels).
- Spring Clean Up: A lot of times a spring or general clean up of your yard is required so that we can really stay on top of things during the regular maintenance visits (if requested) . We will blow out your flower beds , decks, and other areas of your yard that may have winter debris build up . Pruning and shaping is often required as well depending on the type of plants.
- Power Raking: Start the growing season off right by power raking If too much thatch is a problem on your lawn. We go over your lawn with a machine rake removing the thatch underneath allowing your lawn to breath and for water to get down to the soil and to not just be absorbed by the thatch layer. Next we hand rake the lawn, picking up and taking away all the debris and thatch. (This is the best time to over seed your lawn since the power rake has exposed the soil where the grass seed needs to be to germinate).
- Lawn Aeration: We go over your entire lawn with an aeration machine that pulls out core plugs of grass and soil. This process allows your lawn to better absorb and retain moisture while reducing the amount of times you will need to water. It also helps with compaction allowing for a greater and deeper root system. This is a great natural way to ensure strong growth while discouraging weeds and pests. (It is a good idea to pair this service with a power rake as the rake will bust up most of the core plugs speeding up the decomposition process) .
- Over Seeding: A process of spreading lawn seed throughout your lawn to increase the thickness of the lawn. Pet spots must be scratched up by hand then a layer of topsoil is put down and lastly they are reseeded. ( To ensure the seed is able to germinate the customer must ensure the spots are well watered until the new grass is established).
- Lawn Fertilization: Lawns require more than just water to stay healthy and green. Pristine Property Maintenance Services uses only the best, eco friendly fertilizers to supply all the vital nutrients your lawn requires throughout the year. (It is recommended in the Okanagan with our climate and growing season to apply three fertilizers a year, spring, summer, and fall).
- Hedge Trimming: You are safe to trim cedar hedges year round (weather pending) but its generally requested during the growing season or just as it starts to slow. All trimmings and debris are hauled away!
- Fall Clean Up: This service includes the raking up of all leaves and debris, cutting down your perennials, and removing annuals from your garden. All debris and clippings are hauled away.
