At Berkshire Turfgrass Specialists, we believe lawn care should be simple, honest, and built on real value-not hidden fees or "essential" upgrades disguised as add-ons. For years, the lawn care industry has charged extra for things like grub control, crabgrass control, and surface-feeding insect control.

And we'll be upfront-we used to follow that model too.
But we've learned something important:

If you're paying for a high-quality, science-backed program, these foundational services should never be optional. They should be included from the start.

That's why our lawn care program now includes all the essentials-standard, every time:

  • Premium fertilizers
  • Season-long grub control
  • Surface-feeder insect control
  • Crabgrass control
  • Target broad-leaf weed control
  • Lime
  • Only four annual applications
  • No tiered programs
  • No surprise add-ons

This is professional turf care done the right way.

Why Our Fertilizer Outperforms the Competition

Many competitors still use fast-release nitrogen fertilizers. They create a quick burst of color, but that rapid surge growth weakens your lawn over time.

Fast-release fertilizers cause:

  • Excessive mowing
  • Weak, shallow roots
  • Increased summer stress
  • Higher chances of drought and disease issues
  • Roller-coaster color and turf density
  • Increased number of applications

We've moved in a better direction.

Harrell's Polyon® Controlled-Release Fertilizer (Our Standard)

Our program starts by using a custom blend Harrell's Polyon, one of the industry's most advanced controlled-release fertilizers.

Polyon benefits include:

  • Consistent, controlled nutrient delivery
  • No surge growth
  • Superior summer performance
  • Reduced nutrient loss
  • Even color and density
  • Lower stress on turfgrass
  • Environmentally responsible release technology

Your lawn gets exactly what it needs-gradually, efficiently, and safely.

Building Better Soil for Long-Term Turf Health

As the season transitions, we fortify your lawn with fertilizers enhanced with lime and humic acids to improve soil health and nutrient availability.

Benefits of Lime:

  • Balances soil pH
  • Improves nutrient uptake
  • Flushes soil bound nutrients
  • Strengthens root system
  • Creates a more productive soil environment

Benefits of Humic Acids:
  • Boosts soil biology and microbial life
  • Enhances nutrient efficiency
  • Enhances stress tolerance
  • Encourages deeper, stronger roots
  • Promotes recovery after periods of stress

Healthy turf starts with healthy soil-and we make sure your soil is built to last.

Our Two Optional Add-Ons

Our core lawn program includes every essential treatment your lawn needs. We keep add-ons minimal and meaningful-only services that truly benefit the lawn based on its conditions.

We offer two optional upgrades for homeowners seeking maximum performance:

1. Disease & Summer Stress Reducer Package (Optional)
This package is a once a month program (May-August), designed for lawns facing intense summer heat, high disease pressure, or irrigation challenges.

It includes:

  • Preventative fungicides to stop diseases like dollar spot, red thread, and brown patch
  • Bio-stimulants to help turf withstand heat and drought
  • Wetting agents to reduce dry spots and improve water penetration
  • Perfect for:
  • Lawns with disease history
  • Full-sun or irrigated areas
  • Homeowners aiming for peak summer performance
* This package is not meant to be a full substitute for irrigation. Watering your lawn during summer heat and drought is one of the most important things to have a healthy green lawn. This package helps reduce the amount of water needed to achieve that result.

2. Core Aeration or Aeration + Overseeding (Optional)
Your second and final optional service is annual aeration, with or without overseeding.

Core Aeration Benefits:
  • Relieves soil compaction
  • Improves air, water, and nutrient movement
  • Promotes deeper rooting
  • Increases turf density
  • Enhances drought tolerance
Aeration + Overseeding Benefits:
  • Thickens turf to improve density
  • Fills in bare or thin areas
  • Introduces improved grass varieties( we use only ALIST variety seed mixes)
  • Enhances color, resilience, and turf quality
Aeration is one of the most beneficial services in lawn care-and overseeding is the perfect way to upgrade and rejuvenate thin or aging turf.
