Sweeping

Let us keep your parking lot or warehouse looking great! Our sweeper is capable of picking up most debris found in a parking lot or warehouse including: pop cans, cigarette butts, paper, sand, and much more. Sweeps can be set up on a schedule for regular maintenance or done on an as-needed basis. Spring is a popular time for parking lot sweeps--clean up that sand from ice control over the winter.

Seeding

We offer several solutions for your seeding needs:

Conventional Seeding:

After the finish grade and leveling is complete, grass seed is drilled in the ground and topped off with a starter fertilizer application.
Hydro seeding:

"The Green Stuff": Hydro seed is a mixture of grass seed, starter fertilizer, tacking agent, mulch, and water. The mixture is sprayed on over the prepared soil and dries in 24 hours to form a protective crust on the surface. The mulch retains moisture, protects the seed from environmental elements, erosion, and facilitates seed germination with a better germination rate and a less expensive option than sod, with faster results than conventional seeding.

Overseeding:

Over-seeding is planting grass into established turf. Over-seeding is appropriate for bare spots in yards to improve the density of the turf; the denser the grass is, the harder it is for weeds to grow. Over-seeding also aids in establishing a new variety of grass--in older lawns, the grass varieties used were not designed for today's needs. Over-seeding newer varieties into an established lawn can make it more durable, allowing it to withstand insects, drought, disease and heavy traffic better.
