Augusta lawns deal with clay soil, unpredictable rain, and pests that attack real grass year-round.

We apply that golf course experience to keep your lawn healthy through our proven treatment programs.

Don't waste money on store-bought weed killers—we deliver weed control for lawns that works the first time.

Why Professional Natural Turf Maintenance Makes All the Difference in Augusta

Most DIY lawn treatments don't work because store-bought products are weaker, and homeowners don't know when to apply them. Our treatments use commercial-grade fertilizers and pesticides that aren't available to the public, plus we know exactly when your grass needs what treatment.

The Science Behind Healthy Natural Turf

Keeping grass healthy isn't just about throwing fertilizer on it - you need to understand what your soil actually needs and when your grass wants to grow. Augusta's unpredictable weather requires specific timing and products to get results. Here's what actually matters for your lawn:

Soil Analysis and pH Optimization

Georgia's clay soils often prevent grass from getting the nutrients it needs from fertilizer applications. We test your soil to see what's missing and adjust our fertilization program to work with your specific soil conditions. Our treatments include the right nutrients at the right time to help your grass actually use what we're applying.

Brown patches spreading across your yard? Matthews Turf Management provides control of mole crickets that kills them before they destroy more grass.

Proper Nutrient Management

Our 8-application program delivers nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium when your lawn can actually use them instead of random calendar dates. Four key applications keep real grass healthy year-round:

  • Spring Nitrogen Push: Heavy nitrogen in March-April gets grass growing fast after winter

  • Summer Stress Protection: Balanced food with extras helps grass survive the Georgia heat

  • Fall Root Building: Phosphorus in September-October builds roots for winter

  • Winter Preparation: Potassium toughens grass up before it goes dormant

Disease and Pest Prevention

Brown patch and dollar spot can destroy your lawn in days, costing you hundreds to fix later. Matthews Turf Management catches these problems early during our regular visits and treats them before you even notice damage. Our commercial fungicides and pest treatments aren't available in stores, so problems get handled fast instead of spreading across your yard.

Common DIY Mistakes That Cost Augusta Homeowners Money

Homeowners try to save money doing their lawn care, then end up spending more fixing the damage. Store-bought products don't work like professional treatments, and timing applications wrong can set your lawn back for months:

Over-watering and Under-watering Issues

Rain in Georgia is all over the place—sometimes you get 6 inches in a week, sometimes nothing for a month. The wrong seasonal care looks like either watering too much when it's already humid and creating fungus problems, or letting their grass dry out during droughts and weeds take over the bare spots.

Incorrect Fertilization Timing

Fertilizing at the wrong time wastes money and can burn your grass. Matthews Turf Management times applications based on actual conditions, not random dates on the calendar:

  • Temperature Timing: Applications when soil temperature lets grass actually absorb nutrients

  • Weather Windows: Treatments scheduled around rain forecasts so fertilizer doesn't wash away

  • Growth Stage Matching: Right fertilizer type when grass is ready to use it

  • Soil Moisture Coordination: Applications when soil moisture gets nutrients to grass roots fast

Equipment Damage from Improper Application

Using the same spreader setting for everything creates stripes, burns, and missed spots where weeds pop up later. Different fertilizers need different settings or you get uneven coverage that makes your lawn look terrible. Our calibrated equipment spreads products evenly, so your whole yard gets the same treatment.

Your neighbors will wonder how you got such healthy grass—see why Matthews Turf Management lawn care services beat DIY every time.

Our Natural Turf Maintenance Services for Augusta Area Properties

Matthews Turf Management handles lawn care for Evans, Grovetown, Martinez, Aiken, and surrounding communities. Our services address soil health, nutrition, pest control, and disease prevention through proven methods developed for natural turf management:

Regular Maintenance Programs

Matthews Turf Management visits your property 8 times per year, spacing treatments every 6-8 weeks. Each visit targets what your lawn needs right then—different real grass types, soil problems, and seasonal issues get different treatments. Consistent care keeps problems from starting instead of trying to fix them later:

Seasonal Care and Weed Control

Spring treatments stop crabgrass before it starts, and get your grass growing after winter. Summer visits kill dandelions and clover while keeping grass fed during hot weather. Fall applications prep your lawn for winter and control weeds that pop up when temperatures drop.

Integrated Pest Management

Fire ants, grubs, mole crickets, and other bugs destroy lawns if left untreated. Different pests need different timing and products to actually work:

  • Fire Ant Colony Elimination: Treatments that kill the whole colony, not just what you see on top

  • Grub Control Timing: Applications when grubs are young and easy to kill, before they eat your grass roots

  • Mole Cricket Management: Treatments when crickets are most active and vulnerable

  • Beneficial Insect Protection: Products that kill bad bugs but leave earthworms and other helpful ones alone

Disease Prevention and Treatment Monitoring

Technicians spot fungus problems early during regular visits when treatments still work. Preventive fungicides get applied during risky weather, and active disease gets treated immediately when it shows up.

What Makes Matthews Turf Management Different

Golf course maintenance experience translates directly to better lawn care. Professional-grade products and precise timing get results that basic lawn services can't match:

Licensed and Insured Technicians

Applying pesticides legally requires proper licensing and insurance to protect your property. All Matthews Turf Management technicians are licensed and insured before they set foot on your lawn:

  • State Pesticide Licensing: All applicators hold current Georgia Department of Agriculture commercial licenses

  • Insurance Coverage: General liability coverage protects your property during service visits

  • Safety Training: Regular updates on safe product handling and application methods

  • Equipment Calibration: Professional spreaders and spray equipment are calibrated for even application

Ongoing Education in Latest Turf Science

Technicians attend training sessions and stay current with university research on lawn care. New products and methods come out regularly, so staying up-to-date helps your grass stay healthy.

Years of Experience with Various Grass Types

Local lawns have Bermuda, Zoysia, Centipede, and Fescue grasses that all need different care. Each grass type has specific feeding requirements and timing that affect how well treatments work:

  • Bermuda Grass Expertise: Heavy nitrogen feeding supports fast growth and quick recovery from foot traffic

  • Zoysia Maintenance: Balanced nutrition promotes thick growth without building up thatch layers

  • Centipede Care: Light nitrogen prevents yellowing and keeps natural growth patterns

  • Fescue Management: Cool-season timing and summer protection for year-round health
