Pricing
Price is based on the size of your lawn with a minimum charge for each service. The homeowner is responsible for marking sprinkler heads (I can provide marker flags), water meters, buried power lines, invisible dog fences, and other obstacles prior to the service appointment. I will measure the the square footage of your lawn and give you a firm price before I perform the work.
Aeration
$60 Minimum + Tax (Up to 1000 sq ft)
Lawns up to 1000 sq. ft.= $60 Lawns over 1000 sq. ft. = $60 + $.03 per sq. ft.
$60Dethatching
$80 per 1000 sq ft + Tax
Lawns up to 1000 sq. ft.= $80 Lawns over 1000 sq. ft. = $80 + $.08 per sq. ft. Includes: Dethatching/Remnant Rake-up/Removal from property. Before service mow your lawn short to provide better access for the rakes/tines to pull out the decomposing thatch. Note: There will be an extra charge for an over-abundance of MOSS that would require additional resources to remove the excess. This can be negotiated at the time of the service.
$80Overseeding
$120 Per 1000 sq ft + Tax
Lawns up to 1000 sq. ft.= $120 Lawns over 1000 sq. ft. = $120 + $.10 per sq. ft. Note: Price includes a "Northwest Blend" lawn seed formulated for the PNW. I will run the machine pattern in two opposing directions for full coverage. I can also quote certain areas of your lawn that are thinning instead of your entire lawn. Prior to service you should mow your lawn short. The new grass seed needs to contact the soil and the new grass seedlings need lots of light to grow. Aerating and dethatching (if necessary) also helps to increase the success of an overseeding service by providing greater soil to seed contact. After your service use a "Starter Fertilizer" to help with root stimulation/growth and provide the nutrients needed for new seedlings to thrive. Disclaimer - I cannot guarantee that your overseeding service will be successful….period! There are numerous factors involved in the process of planting and growing grass. I will take every precaution to ensure that I perform the work properly. The new seed will be furrowed into the soil 1/8-1/2 inch deep using a slit/slice seeding machine. Your new grass may be a different color/blade shape and may not match your existing lawn.
$120Starter Fertilizer/Moss Killer
Starter Fertilizer & Moss Killer Application
$30 per 1000 sq ft Starter Fertilizer or Moss Killer (Ferrous Sulfate). Homeowner must water into the soil after application.
$30Peat Moss Application
Peat Moss Application
I use a cage roller which evenly spreads the peat moss over your lawn in a controlled manner. Cost is $100 per 1000 sq. ft. of lawn ( 2-3.3 cu ft bales cover approximately 1000 sq ft.)
$100Herbicide Application
Herbicide Application
$60 per 1000 sq ft Application of a an herbicide (pre-emergent/post-emergent) to kill lawn weeds. I use a product called “Tenacity” or its generic version. Tenacity herbicide is used for controlling over 46 types of broadleaf weeds and grasses, including crabgrass and ground ivy. Its active ingredient, mesotrione, inhibits photosynthesis in susceptible plants and can be applied both before and after lawn seeding.
$60Pesticide Application (Grub Prevention)
Grub Prevention
$60 per 1000 sq ft Application of a systematic insecticide that provides long-lasting preventative control against root- and leaf-feeding insects containing 21.4% Imidacloprid that targets grubs, aphids, beetles, whiteflies, billbugs, chinch bugs, cutworms, emerald ash borers, mole crickets, and more. It catches grubs during hatching season to stop them from developing into grubs. Apply from mid-June until late-July to kill summer hatching grubs before they have a chance to feed and reproduce. For other insect control, it is best to start treatment at first sight to control and prevent high insect populations. People and pets can enjoy the treated area once dry.
