LAWN INSTALLATION & RENOVATION:

Complete Renovation:  This service is reserved for lawns that need a little help.  Most of the existing grass remains while we slit-seed the rest of the lawn, filling in the dead spots.

New Seeding:  For new homes or lawns that need the existing dead grass removed entirely.  The area is graded with new or existing topsoil, seeded, raked in and top-dressed with a variety of products specific to your needs.  But you are the most important key.  The seeds must be watered deeply and frequently.

Sodding:  Sod is two-year old grass grown at a farm, cut, and shipped to your property.  As with seeding, the lawn area is prepared by grading and fertilizing by our technicians.  We then lay the sod.  And, like seeding, you must keep the lawn watered.  It's almost like an instant lawn!

GROUND COVERS & FLOWERS:

Ground Cover:  There are many types for so many reasons.  Some people use ground coverings under trees and in place of shredded bark mulch.  Another use is on embankments that are hard to mow or cut.  Whatever you need, we'll get it and plant it for you.

Flowers:  We will prepare a plan for you and, upon approval, get to preparing the soil and flowers.

LANDSCAPE CONSTRUCTION:

Walls:  Many customers like a clean look to banks and want to eliminate steep slopes on their property.  This can be handled in many ways.  Treated Timber, or "tie" walls, are large wood timbers that are cut and set into place using re-bar and large spikes.  Tuma Lawn Service installs only treated pine timbers, which carry a warranty not to rot or decay.  It has a rustic look that can double in places for stairs.  Versa-lok® walls are constructed of large stone blocks designed to lock into place creating a strong barrier against crumbling hills or small banks. This has a more decorative look that timbers.  Versa-lok® also comes in a wide variety of colors and offers you the flexibility of straight or curved walls.

Fencing:  Wood privacy fencing and split rail fences are available, depending on your needs.

Drainage:  Properties in housing plans sometimes have large hills in the back yard that channel huge amounts of rain or spring water into the yard, causing flooding and soupy conditions.  Drains can be installed to try to combat this problem.  Drains can be diverted into the street or existing underground drainage systems.

Outdoor Lighting Systems:  Lights for sidewalks and highlights on the property such as trees and shrubs or the house itself.  What would you like?  We install high quality, low-voltage systems set on either timers or photo-electric cells.

Omni-stone® Pavers:  Very popular over the years, Omni-stone® is a brick-style paver that comes in a wide range of colors and styles and can be used in everything from sidewalks and pool sides to patios and driveways.  Omnistone© is a cost effective and durable paver that will outlast most other types of paving.  We have some driveways installed over 16 years ago with little or no shifting or cracks like concrete!

Automatic Sprinkler Systems:  Getting popular with the recent lack of rain, sprinkler systems provide the customer with a lush lawn and the freedom from actually doing the watering.  Very little of your existing lawn is disturbed in the installation process which is done by our staff professional who has installed systems to small homes and entire housing developments!  After installation, we provide service to the new systems and to existing systems, even if we didn't install it!  When the weather turns cold, we perform a complete winter "blow-out" to ensure no pipe breakage.
