Carolina Lot Care specializes in environmentally safe land clearing, forestry mulching, brush cutting, undergrowth removal and eco-friendly land clearing. We offer state-of-the-art brush clearing equipment for Contractors, developers, governments, co-ops, and property owners. This land clearing equipment leaves a park-like effect and there is no burning or hauling. When compared to traditional methods (bulldozers and excavators) our light weight and efficient equipment leaves less of an impact on the environment and eliminates damage to the tree roots, bark and the terrain. No wet land study is needed because we do not remove or alter the root structure saving you time, money and hassles with permitting. We use a system called “Selective Clearing” removing only the underbrush and unwanted trees while leaving the natural features of the land. Our equipment grinds trees and stumps flush with the ground returning the nutrient rich mulch to leave a park like appearance. The mulch left behind helps with moisture retention and erosion control once again reducing the overall cost of retaining walls (silt Fence) and seeding. We are now offering Flying Pest control to Contractors, Governments, Local Municipalities and Home Owner Associations. Our early morning system is completely safe for humans and is extracted out of the Chrysanthemum flower vastly reducing the number of Mosquitos, No-See-Ums, Spiders, Ticks and Snakes allowing employees to work more efficiently and visitors to enjoy their stay.

"We hired TruGreen to manage our lawn due to the overgrowth of weeds. Like many I read the reviews, but thought they were random occurrences, Not so. They have a guarantee, and kept coming out but the weeds weren't dying off. We kept paying, they kept coming out for retreats, but no results. In fact the weeds got worse. We finally canceled the service. To date, they still call, the reps still act shocked, and now they want us to pay off the bill, and as a matter of principle I refuse. They actually called us to sell us more products during our service, claiming we had fungus and other things, but our technicians never said a word or showed us. Found out from one of their reps it's just a selling tactic, yeah, the admitted that. After months of treating and retreating the lawn, one tech said we don't treat these types of weeds, I him then why are you here? We're filing a complaint with the SCDCA, TruGreen products are garbage and in my opinion they're just a chemical company pushing chemicals. See images below. Our weeds were so bad, our neighbor killed a 20 feet strip of grass to separate his lawn from ours. We had silver dollars, clover, Dallas grass among other species. Lastly, the mosquito treatment was hit or miss, Mostly a miss."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

First, you should figure out whether you have dormant or dead grass. Dead grass won’t come back, so you’ll have to reseed if you’re hoping for a lush lawn. However, grass can go dormant if it hasn’t received enough water or if temperatures are too cold. If it’s still decently warm outside, you can revive dormant grass by watering it. But if it’s mid-January in New England, for example, you’ll need to wait until the weather warms up again. If you want to keep grass green in winter, consider a grass like Kentucky bluegrass, which maintains its color year-round.

If it’s been a few weeks and you haven’t seen anything pop up, double-check your seed packet and make sure you didn’t miss any steps. Did they need cold stratification (putting seeds in the freezer and then transferring to water before planting)? Do they have an exceptionally long germination period? 

 If you’ve followed all of the directions closely, you may just have had a bad batch of seeds. (Sadly, it happens.)

If maintained correctly, natural grass should last between five and 15 years, or up to several decades, depending on your home’s climate conditions. You can extend your grass’ lifespan by treating it well, including regular mowing, weeding, watering, and preventative pest control. Consider hiring a local lawn care service to provide everything your grass needs to live a long, healthy life.

Overfertilizing can burn and kill the grass as well as upset the soil's nutrient balance, leaving your grass prone to disease and infestation. You'll know that you have overfertilized your burn when you have recently fertilized and begin to see brown and yellow patches of dead grass that need to be reseeded. 

Leaf removal, aeration, dethatching, mowing, pruning, and fertilizing are activities that prepare lawns for the next season.
