Services Provided by Collins Lawn and Maintenance

With more than 11 years of lawn care and maintenance experience, we focus each property to attack all weeds and provide optimum fertilization. Experience has also shown us that no two lawns are the same or respond in the same way to a certain type of treatment. That's why when you retain Collins Lawn and Maintenance Services, we will adjust the rate of applications of fertilizers and herbicides, constantly making adjustments to meet different lawn requirements.

Depending on the lawn and your landscapes needs, we use a variety of seasonal products that are applied as needed throughout the year.

We offer the following services:

Weekly Mowing

Core Aeration and Thatching

Initial/Seasonal Cleanup

One Time Cleanups and Hauling

We only offer weekly services on our maintenance accounts. We do not offer biweekly or monthly services.

Weekly Mowing Service

Years of experience with commercial Realtors, property management companies and homeowners have helped us in establishing the various levels of service required to satisfy our client's best interest. The beauty of our mowing service is that we offer a weekly service to our customers. Depending on your needs, our weekly service includes:

Mowing.
Trimming of areas along flower beds, fence lines, and other architectural structures are performed with each mowing service.
Power-edging of all walkways and driveways.
All lawn areas are cleaned of clippings, and walkways and adjacent street frontage are blown clear.
Other services offered with weekly contract are as needed: spraying of weeds, trimming of plants and bushes as agreed.

This program is offered as a contractual service which normally runs from March through October. Invoicing, occurs once per month, for each month of the contract.

Core Aeration Program

Core Aeration is actually a way of cultivating your lawn by removing "plugs" of soil and leaving behind small perforations in the earth. These plugs are left on the surface to break down and dissolve, thereby top-dressing the lawn with organic matter which allows for root and new shoot development.

Advantages of Core Aeration
Increases water and air movement in the soil • Relieves soil compaction
Allows products to reach the root zone • Helps prevent thatch buildup
Performed in conjunction with overseeding • Increases turf development

Aeration is ideal for all homeowners regardless of the condition of your present lawn. This is a fast and easy way to produce a healthy lawn by attacking cultural problems such as soil compaction and thatch accumulation. Overseeding is preferred with this option.

Continuing with the annual treatments is always recommended for producing the best long range results.

Fertilization after core aeration is available upon request for an additional charge.

Initial Clean Up

One time seasonal cleanups are available, initial clean ups for weekly contracts (if needed) come at an additional charge.

One Time Cleanups and Hauling

This service includes a timely response to a customers need for one time clean ups for spring, fall, events, parties and family gatherings. We also offer pine needle/pine cone and yard debris removal.
