Keeping it Green and Healthy is not easy.
Let it Grow.
Core aeration is one of, if not, THE most effective way to improve the health of your lawn. If you have never done it, you need it! It involves removing small plugs of soil from the ground, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots more effectively. Here’s why it’s essential:
Reduces Soil Compaction: Over time, soil can become compacted, especially in high-traffic areas. Aeration relieves compaction, promoting better root growth and water absorption.
Improves Nutrient Absorption: By allowing more oxygen, water, and fertilizer to penetrate the soil, aeration helps your lawn absorb nutrients more efficiently, leading to a healthier, greener lawn.
Promotes Stronger Roots: Aeration encourages deeper root growth, which strengthens your lawn’s foundation, helping it better withstand drought and stress.
Increases Thatch Breakdown: Excess thatch on the surface of your lawn can block moisture and nutrients. Aeration helps break down thatch, allowing better nutrient flow to the roots.
We use a hydraulically powered aerator, which ensures the ideal plug depth and size for optimal results. This precise equipment guarantees that the aeration process is efficient and effective, giving your lawn the best chance to thrive.
For a healthier, more resilient lawn, core aeration with the right tools is key to strong, deep-rooted grass.
And Dont Forget the Trees!
Spike fertilization is an effective way to deliver essential nutrients directly to the roots of your trees, promoting healthy growth and resilience. For evergreens, it strengthens root systems, helping them withstand harsh winters and nutrient deficiencies. For deciduous trees, it supports spring and summer growth while preparing them for winter dormancy.
By targeting the root zone, spike fertilization ensures efficient nutrient delivery, encouraging vibrant foliage, stronger branches, and overall tree vitality. Keep your trees healthy year-round with spike fertilization—an investment in their long-term growth and resilience.
Feed it.
Fertilization & Lime Application
In Alaska, our unique soil conditions present challenges for growing healthy grass. With cold winters and short growing seasons, it’s important to provide your lawn with the right nutrients to thrive. That's where fertilization and lime application come in.
We use locally made fertilizers that are specifically tailored to Alaska’s soil and climate. These specialized fertilizers are designed to meet the nutritional needs of grass in our region, helping it grow strong and resilient despite the harsh conditions. Additionally, adding lime helps balance the pH of the soil, improving nutrient absorption and supporting healthier grass growth.
At Mat-Su LLM, we are mindful not to over-apply fertilizers, which can lead to nutrient runoff—a concern for both your lawn and the environment. We carefully apply just the right amount to ensure your lawn is nourished without harming the surrounding ecosystem.
As winter approaches, we also offer specialized fall fertilization to help grass develop strong roots that will sustain it throughout the colder months. Grass continues to grow, albeit slowly, even in colder temperatures. Healthy, deep roots are key to a lush, vibrant lawn come spring.
