What Portland lawns need from landscaping

Portland lawns often run zoysia, tall fescue, Bermuda, each with its own ideal cut height, feeding rate, and seasonal window. Our techs arrive with rotary tiller and hedge trimmer calibrated for residential work. Where treatment is warranted, we use commercial actives like hardscape sealer and plant food at label rates, not hobby-grade jugs. In Portland, pressure from spider mites and deer tends to drive the service calendar.
