Your lawn’s soil requires adequate nutrients, optimal pH levels, and organic matter to be fertile. Guessing your way through the process means too little or too much fertilizer, resulting in unhealthy plants and damaging water sources.

"We recently hired On the Green to take care of our yard. Our grass is starting to look better. Today they showed up to clean up the leaves and other things that blow into our yard from the park across the road. These two guys did a fantastic job. We have a low sitting deck and they managed to get the leaves out from under it. On the Green has a 5 star rating with us."
