Since 1994, when the company was housed in an old barn on Stuart Cohen's farm in Darlington, Harford County, Hillside Lawn Service has been providing healthy, green lawns throughout Maryland. We are a no-nonsense team of highly skilled lawn care specialists, leaders in the industry but, best of all, we love what we do. That's what sets us apart. We're proud of our high employee retention, uncommon in this industry. Collectively, we have more than 150 years of experience in the industry. That's a lot of green lawns!
We use an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach to our tree and shrub program. We broaden pest management to include the proper solutions. Our programs are very specific and customized for each customer based on an initial lawn analysis. We inspect your property to identify pests, assess damage levels and subscribe specific strategies to control any unwanted pests and disease. We are always looking for ways to reduce pesticide use and increase protection of the environment. Below are some of the common solutions we use to improve the health of your trees and shrubs.
Insects are part of the natural ecosystem in lawns. While these organisms serve a purpose in nature, they can be problematic when there are too many of them, or when they start to affect the health of your lawn. They quickly turn from nature's way to a homeowner's nightmare! But don't worry, Hillside can help! Hillside's pest control services are designed to reduce the population of insects to levels that are tolerable to the plants. All insects have properties that are beneficial to the environment.
We provide full service, lawn care programs for business campuses, townhouse/condominium communities, retail businesses, hospitals and industrial complexes. Maintaining a healthy, manicured lawn underscores your company's brand which impacts sales and occupancy rates. We hold our commercial accounts to the same high standard that we would a residential customer. That means you get the same customizable service and care that you would expect at your own home. Fertilizer, post-emergent broadleaf weed control, and crabgrass control stops broadleaf and grassy weeds allowing the turf to excel going into the summer.
Lush, green turf starts with proper aeration of your property and high-quality grass seed. We use state-of-the-art aerating equipment teamed with experienced and well trained operators to allow us to perform this service efficiently and timely. The aeration process relieves soil compaction, and, most importantly, improves oxygen exchange at the root zone of your turf plants. This allows roots to grow, enhancing their ability to uptake water and nutrients. Aeration also allows nutrients applied with your lawn care program to efficiently absorb into the root zone, reducing potential runoff.
