Organic Lawn Care in Medfield, Massachusetts

Most people outside the area know Medfield for one thing. Scenes from Shutter Island, the Scorsese film with Leonardo DiCaprio, were shot at the old Medfield State Hospital.

The town people actually live in is a different story. Medfield today is a white collar community with a genuinely good restaurant scene and neighborhoods full of homeowners who care what their lawn looks like. A lot of them want it kept green without reaching for conventional chemicals, and that is the work we do here.

Our Lawn Care Programs in Medfield

Most Medfield customers start with one of our two fertilization programs. The Organic-Based Program is the one we recommend for most lawns, because it reduces pesticide use by 90% while still producing the kind of lawn people want to look at. For homeowners who want to go all the way, we also offer a fully Organic Program.

Organic Weed Control handles broadleaf weeds like clover, dandelions and plantain. We use Fiesta, an iron-based product that kills the weeds without harming your grass.

Aeration and overseeding is how a thin lawn gets thick again. Core aeration relieves the compaction and creates the openings that new seed needs, and the overseeding follows immediately. In New England the window runs from August through mid-October.

Deer Are Common in Medfield, and So Are Ticks

Medfield carries a large deer population, and deer bring adult ticks into the yards they browse through. Worth knowing that ticks pick up Lyme disease from white-footed mice rather than from deer, but the ticks end up in your lawn either way, and that part we can do something about.

Our Organic Mosquito & Tick Control Program runs 8 timed applications from spring through fall, using Cedar Wood Oil and a blend of organic botanical oils. The sprays kill mosquitoes and ticks on contact and repel biting insects for up to four weeks. There is no re-entry wait, so the kids and the dog can be back out on the lawn right away.

Common Questions from Medfield Homeowners

How do I prevent ticks on my Medfield property?

Ticks need two things that Medfield has plenty of. Deer carry adult ticks into your yard as they browse, and white-footed mice are what those ticks feed on to pick up Lyme disease in the first place.

Our Organic Mosquito & Tick Control Program is the direct answer. It runs 8 timed applications from spring through fall using Cedar Wood Oil and a blend of organic botanical oils, and the sprays kill ticks on contact while repelling biting insects for up to four weeks. We also offer Tick Tubes, which target the mice rather than the ticks and go after the problem where the Lyme actually comes from.

How do I reduce mosquitoes on my Medfield property?

The same Organic Mosquito & Tick Control Program handles both pests. The 8 applications run from spring through fall, which covers the New England mosquito season from late April into October. The sprays kill on contact and repel biting insects for up to four weeks, and there is no re-entry wait, so nobody has to stay off the lawn afterward.

Between visits it helps to empty any standing water around the property, since that is where mosquitoes breed. Anything that holds water for more than a few days is worth tipping out.

How do I keep my yard green even if I have a wooded lot in Medfield?

A wooded lot is a harder lawn to grow. The trees compete with the grass for water and nutrients, and the shade keeps the turf thin no matter how well you feed it.

Aeration and overseeding is the main fix. Core aeration relieves the compaction and opens the soil, and the overseeding that follows fills in the thin areas. Topdressing with organic compost rebuilds the soil underneath, which matters more on a lot where tree roots are taking their share. Our trees and shrubs program looks after the trees themselves, and healthier trees put less strain on everything growing beneath them.

The aeration and overseeding window in New England runs from August through mid-October.
