MORRIS LAWN MAINTENANCE SERVICES

Residential Lawn Maintenance
Because each residence requires unique attention, we offer three levels of residential lawn maintenance:

Level One is basic lawn maintenance which includes mowing, edging and debris removal.

Level Two includes basic lawn maintenance in addition to fertilization and weed control. We also provide bed work, mulching and pruning to various degrees as requested.

Level Three is our signature service that encompasses all Level One and Level Two services. This is a hassle-free, turn-key package. Much more than just cutting your grass, watching a Morris Lawn Maintenance crew is similar to watching a pit crew. From mowing with commercial vacuum mowers that create crisp baseball field-type lines in the turf, to manicured edges with a signature three-angle cut, your personal crew will always keep your neighbors envious of your yard. Even something as simple as blowing off the walkways and debris removal is done in a manner that sets us apart from the rest. Every fine detail is executed with a surgeon's precision.

Aeration & Seeding
We offer aeration and seeding services in the early fall that reap benefits in spring. This works especially well in conjunction with our fertilization and weed control program. Core aeration and high quality seed are one of the best ways to revitalize your turf.

Mulching
We offer high quality shredded hardwood mulch. Typically we mulch in January and February and then provide a light dusting after the spring and fall flowers bloom. For those that prefer a fresh look year round, we offer mulching twice a year, installed spring and fall in conjunction with annual flowers. We can install mulch on small and large job sites.

Pruning
Proper pruning practices is something that we at Morris Lawn Maintenance pride ourselves in. Knowing the species of plant material that we are working on and the pruning technique desired for that plant are the best way to maintain the appearance and curb appeal of a site. For example, you should never ‘top’ a Crape Myrtle tree (or any tree for that matter). Crape Myrtle’s should be pruned over the winter and should be thinned, having damaged or crossing branches removed. Pampass Grass can be pruned in early March prior to new growth. We do not cut it during the winter because the leaves act as an insulator and help the plant survive our less than tropical winters. To maintain a ‘topiary’ or ‘formal’ hedge, shrubs can be pruned every three to six weeks. For example Wax Myrtles can be trimmed every 21 to 28 days during peak growing season and Ligustrum can be trimmed every 5 to 6 weeks.

Turf Management
We realize that no two lawns are exactly alike. Different owners have different perspectives and different circumstances. That’s why we believe that a turf management program has to be created for each individual home. "Any” application will not help you achieve the best results. We have created our own custom fertilization and weed control program using predominantly organic material. This organic program is a much healthier approach than the popular synthetic products. Along with an ‘organic’ approach to fertilization, we are able to identify and control most broadleaf weeds. Including Dalis grass, most varieties of crab grass and most varieties of nut grass (nutsedge). The true definition of a weed is a plant growing where it is not wanted. We are able to help you selectively control the Bermuda grass out of your fescue, or the fescue out of your Bermuda.
