Best Landscaping in North Kingstown, RI 02852 - Lotus Landscape

Our maintenance plans are proactive, not just reactive. We focus on core health: proper mowing heights, aeration to improve drainage (which deters moss), and balanced fertilization to strengthen grass against insects. We also monitor for early signs of pests like grubs or chinch bugs, applying targeted, responsible treatments only when necessary to protect your lawn and our local ecosystem.

Absolutely. Good design is the first defense. During our consultation, we assess your property's specific conditions—like shade, drainage, and soil type—which are often factors in moss and insect issues. We can design with hardy, native plants, improve grading for better water runoff, and plan lawn areas strategically to be more manageable and resilient, reducing the conditions pests and moss thrive in.

We start with a diagnosis. For moss, we test soil pH and often recommend lime applications alongside core aeration to correct the acidic, compacted soil moss loves. For insect damage, we identify the pest and use the most effective, minimal-impact treatment. Then, we oversee the recovery with overseeding, proper watering guidance, and ongoing care to restore a thick, healthy turf that naturally resists future problems.
