Turf Maintenance

Healthy, well-maintained turf creates a strong foundation for a professional commercial landscape. From corporate campuses and retail centers to healthcare facilities and community associations, lawns are often among the largest and most visible areas of a property.

Merit Landscape Solutions provides commercial turf maintenance services designed to keep lawns healthy, attractive and resilient throughout the growing season. Our turf programs can include mowing, edging, aeration, overseeding and fertilization, coordinated as part of a customized commercial landscape maintenance program.

Complete Commercial Lawn Care

Commercial turf requires consistent care throughout the year—not just regular mowing. Merit combines routine maintenance with seasonal turf treatments to support both appearance and long-term lawn health.

Our commercial turf maintenance capabilities include:

• Mowing: Routine mowing to maintain a neat, consistent appearance throughout the growing season.
• Edging: Defining turf edges for a clean transition between lawns and surrounding landscape or hardscape areas.
• Fertilization: Seasonal nutrient applications designed to support healthy turf growth.
• Weed Control: Targeted applications to manage crabgrass, broadleaf weeds and other unwanted growth.
• Core Aeration: Seasonal aeration as part of a comprehensive turf maintenance program.
• Overseeding & Slice Seeding: Turf renovation practices used to support lawn density and appearance.

More Than Mowing

Commercial lawn maintenance can sometimes be reduced to mowing frequency, but maintaining quality turf requires a broader strategy.

Merit's maintenance program combines mowing with fertilization, weed control, insect control, aeration and seeding at different points in the growing season. This coordinated approach allows routine mowing and seasonal turf care to work together rather than functioning as separate services.

For property managers, that means one landscape partner can oversee the turf's ongoing appearance while also addressing seasonal needs that influence its overall health and performance.

Seasonal Turf Care From Spring Through Fall

Turf needs change throughout the growing season. Merit's landscape maintenance calendar reflects those changing requirements with scheduled lawn care services from spring through fall.

The program can include early-spring crabgrass pre-emergent with fertilizer, late-spring crabgrass pre-emergent with fertilizer, broadleaf weed control with fertilizer, summer fertilizer with insect control, and fall fertilizer with broadleaf weed control. Core aeration and over- and slice-seeding are also included seasonally.

Exact timing can change based on weather and site conditions. Merit specifically notes that its landscape maintenance schedule varies from year to year depending on the weather.

Customized Turf Maintenance for Your Property

One maintenance program doesn't fit every commercial landscape. Property size, turf conditions, usage and the surrounding landscape can all affect what a site needs.

Merit's approach is built around customized commercial landscape maintenance programs rather than treating every property the same. Turf maintenance can also be coordinated with irrigation system maintenance, applications, tree and shrub care, seasonal services and seasonal color for more comprehensive property management.
