Questions and Answers
How do we keep our grass healthy during dry spells without wasting water?
While Tunbridge has no mandatory restrictions, voluntary conservation is critical. Manual drip irrigation for beds and high-efficiency rotary nozzles for turf apply water directly to the root zone, minimizing evaporation loss. For your grass mix, deep, infrequent watering that encourages drought tolerance is more effective than frequent shallow cycles. Scheduling irrigation for early morning aligns with natural evapotranspiration rates and reduces fungal pressure.
A major storm brought down branches. How quickly can a crew respond for an emergency cleanup?
For urgent storm response, our primary dispatch route runs from the Tunbridge World's Fairgrounds north via VT-110. Accounting for debris on secondary roads, a dedicated crew can typically be on-site within 45-60 minutes during peak incident hours. We prioritize triage for safety hazards like blocked driveways or damaged structures to secure the property and facilitate any necessary utility access.

Our lawn seems thin and struggles despite fertilizer. Could the age of our property be a factor?
Properties built around 1971, like many in Tunbridge Village, have approximately 55-year-old soils. Over decades, acidic sandy loam becomes compacted from foot traffic and machinery, reducing permeability and root penetration. This compaction starves your Kentucky Bluegrass and Fine Fescue of oxygen and water. Core aeration combined with incorporating 1-2 inches of composted organic matter is essential to rebuild soil structure and counteract this historical degradation.
