Marshall Landscape SERVICES

Marshall Landscape’s Healthy lawn care program encompasses a process of educating our customers about cultural practices such as cutting heights, water conservation, the use of slow release fertilizers and soil nutrient testing. We use Lake Safe, zero phosphorus, and slow release fertilizers in our fertilization programs. We also offer organic fertilization programs that utilize 100% organic fertilizer that does not contain any synthetic chemicals. Marshall Landscape’s pesticide programs include the following options, pesticide free programs, spot treatment programs or in some cases, we need to make a onetime blanket application to bring the undesirable weeds or insects into check.

The following program is our recommendation,we will customize any of our programs to fit your individual budget or needs

Spring Application  
 A balanced fertilizer with non-staining crabgrass preventive

Early Summer Application   
  A custom blend of a 0 phosphorus, slow release fertilizer along with weed and controls were needed.

Summer Application  
  During the hot stressful days of summer we apply slow release low nitrogen, phosphorus free fertilizer along with spot weed control,we also offer insect applications based on your individual lawns needs. 

Late Summer   
 This application is comprised of the same custom blended fertilizer as our summer application and at this time of the year helps your turf recover from the harsh summer heat and helps to reduce the number of pesky weeds and insects.

Early Fall 
 The cooler temperatures of the fall allow us to apply a heavy application of phosphorus free, slow release nitrogen fertilizer, which provides your lawn a deeper green color and improves the health and density during this time of the year. This is also the best time to apply weed control, weeds are ready to over winter and begin to store carbohydrates in their root systems, by applying herbicide this time of the year in most cases we can lessen the number of weeds that will be present the next spring. 

Late Fall Winterizer 
 This Time of the year we apply a quick-release  fertilizer that your lawn will store in its root system. The stored carbohydrates from the late fall application will provide a  faster green up  in the spring.  

All of our applications are not considered complete  until all of the hard surfaces such as sidewalks and driveways are blown off .

The Benefits of turf  Aeration

• Enriched air exchange between the soil and atmosphere.
• Greater soil water uptake.
• Better fertilizer uptake and use.
• Diminished water runoff and puddling.
• Sturdier turfgrass roots.
• Reduced soil compaction.
• Improved heat and drought stress tolerance.
• Greater thatch breakdown.

Marshall Landscape Inc. provides aeration services in the Spring and Fall.  The preferred time of the year is in the fall.  

Athletic Field Services

Core Aeration 

We use a hollow cored tine, tractor-mounted aerator to remove 4-inch plugs from the play surface, in order to relieve soil compaction and lessen the thatch layer This process encourages deeper root growth and improved penetration of water, air, and nutrients.

Deep Tine Aeration

Deep Tine Aeration uses a tractor-mounted aerator that makes use of a solid core tine that penetrates the play surface to a depth of 12 inches and fractures the sub soil. This service is very valuable on play fields that do not have irrigation or have an extremely compact soil structure. Deep Tine aeration greatly improves drainage and helps to reduce standing water on milti-use athletic fields.

Top Dressing

Top dressing is the process of adding compost, soil or sand to existing turf to improve grass quality.  Compost and other soil amendments add organic matter, improving soil structure and biology, while helping with water penetration, compaction and promoting over-all  turf quality. Aeration of the turf at this time will aid in the incorporation of new materials into the soil and reduce layering.

Slit Seeding

We use a tractor mounted slit seeder which cuts grooves in the soil and deposits grass seed that is specific to your play field conditions. The seed is covered with top soil and tamed back in to place. Used in conjunction with core aeration this service is used to thicken existing turf grass to provide a much less expensive alternative to sod.

Custom Fertilization Programs

Marshall Landscape customizes its athletic field fertilization programs based on soil testing results, and soil conditions at your specific play fields. We can customize a program to fit into your level of maintenance and meat your budget constraints, in order to give you the best field conditions possible.

Turf Blankets

Our turf blankets are used during the off season months to protect new seed, while allowing water and sunlight in to promote seed germination and early spring green-up. Available in any size from goal mouths to entire soccer fields our blankets can lengthen the playing season.
