DETHATCHING, AERATING, & SEEDING

Dethatching is the mechanical removal of the layer of dead turf grass. Your lawn has three layers: the roots below the soil, the green grass above ground and, in the middle, a layer of thatch that is composed of woody tissue from dead grass roots and stems that gather just above the soil. This thatch material is natural, and it’s healthy in moderation. A thin layer of thatch is normal and helps to insulate the plant, lower soil temperature and maintain moisture. However, a thick layer of thatch can form a barrier that will prevent air, water and nutrients from reaching the grass’s roots. Preventing thatch buildup is necessary for maintaining the long-term health of your lawn.

Lawn Aeration is the process of removing plugs of grass and soil to ensure adequate water, air and nutrients can work their way into the ground and reach the roots. The idea is to punch holes in the turf to air it out. Aeration will prevent the lawn from becoming compacted. Compacted soils are quite common in our neck of the woods due to the prevalence of clay. How do you determine if your soil is compacted? Check by simply pushing a screwdriver into the ground. If the surface is too hard to do this, it is compacted and will benefit from aeration. 

​

There's a secret behind achieving a beautiful, lush lawn. Landscape professionals know what it is, but many homeowners don't. Overseeding—as part of a comprehensive, proactive plan—keeps lawns looking great.

​

Overseeding is spreading grass seed over an existing lawn. Done right, it's a straightforward process that gets results. As grasses mature, thinning is normal—especially if you enjoy your lawn and use it often. Overseeding keeps your lawn competitive and steeped in youth and vigor, without starting over from scratch.

MULCH DELIVERY/INSTALLATION

Mulch is one of the simplest ways to enhance your garden and plants. It can make your plantings healthy by providing many benefits to the soil as well as improving the overall appearance of your landscaping. In the long run, mulch will greatly reduce the amount of time in which you maintain your landscapes and gardens.  Mulched gardens are healthier, weed-free, and drought resistant. When you leave your garden un-mulched, you will be spending more time watering, weeding, and fighting pest and disease problems.  This guide will show you how to correctly install Mulch in your landscape.

Fertilizing is an important step in maintaining the health of our plants and for keeping invasive plants at bay. In order to grow and thrive, plants need essential nutrients typically found in the soil. But sometimes our soils are depleted—whether due to invasive neighboring plants, poor soil quality, or other factors—and are therefore unable to provide plants the nourishment they need. Fertilizers can fill this void. Comprised of varying proportions of the macro nutrients nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus, as well as other secondary and micro nutrients, they can properly feed your plants to ensure their vitality and survival.

TOPSOIL DELIVERY/INSTALLATION

Good quality topsoil contains a rich mix of nutrients necessary for healthy plants. It appears darker than subsoil because of the organic matter it contains. The right type of topsoil retains water as well as nutrients, promoting healthy plant growth. A rich layer of quality topsoil ensures healthy lawns and gardens.

DHK Contractors adds topsoil to projects to give new plants a healthy start. It can be used to improve the quality or quantity of soil in the area being worked. The soil surrounding a new house, for instance, is likely to be sandy or full of clay. Adding several inches of topsoil to the landscape will ensure new plants and seeds get the nutrients they need and new roots can spread.

​

Different types of topsoil serve different purposes. A less nutrient-rich soil might be used to backfill a project, change the grade of a property or provide the base for patios and paver paths. Commercial topsoil is sifted to remove rocks, making it easier to work with. Compacted topsoil prevents erosion and provides a good foundation for hard surfaces and lawns.

DECORATIVE ROCK DELIVERY/INSTALLATION

Decorative rocks can give your home instant curb appeal with that well-manicured lawn and landscape look. While many types of landscaping involve plants that must be replanted season to season, you can always count on natural stone to look great as it stands the test of time. The benefits of installing decorative rock in North jersey is that it is practically maintenance-free

LOW-VOLTAGE LANDSCAPE LIGHTING

Most of the lower voltage lights are energy efficient and will be powered by electricity in the range of 12-volts. This kind of innovative lighting system can offer lots of benefits and are widely used not only around our home landscapes but can also be used outside an industrial and commercial buildings exterior as it can offer a high-quality brilliant luminance around the property, which is unique and cost-effective too.

​

Besides these low voltage lights being energy efficient and more environmentally friendly outdoors, you will find that LED landscape style lights will last much longer than any other type of conventional light bulbs such as incandescent or halogen equivalent lights.

PARKING LOT CLEANING & TRASH PORTER SERVICE

A clean business exterior is essential to attract and keep tenants and their customers. Dirt, debris, and litter accumulate every day around your building from constant vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

Without a regular maintenance schedule though, dirt and litter also track into your building, creating damage and clean-up complications. Porter service and trash container emptying helps keep your building interior clean.   

Outsourcing your porter service and exterior site maintenance to DHK Contractors keeps your parking lot, landscaped areas and building entrances looking sharp and free of trash and cigarette butts!
