Riverfront lawns on the Taunton River.
Broad Cove is Dighton’s riverfront — the Pleasant Street stretch where lawns run down toward the widest bend of the Taunton River. Water-view turf is its own small specialty, and it’s one we practice minutes from the shop.
A lawn that ends at a river gets judged twice: from the road and from the water. The good news is that riverfront conditions — steady breeze, open sun, sandy loam — grow outstanding turf once the soil underneath is right.
Feeding a lawn beside a river is a responsibility: we run slow-release granular products, keep buffer setbacks along the waterline, and never apply ahead of heavy rain. Your turf gets fed, the cove doesn’t. It’s the same standard we’d want on our own water.
The steady river breeze that makes Broad Cove evenings great also wicks moisture out of turf faster than inland yards a mile away. Wind-dried lawns need deeper roots, not more sprinkler minutes — aeration, taller mowing, and potassium ahead of summer are the difference-makers here.
Broad Cove warms with the water: spring green-up runs a few days ahead of the uplands and fall holds on longer. We ride that — pre-emergent lands early here, and the overseeding window stretches deeper into September than it does uphill. Five minutes from home base means the truck arrives on the right day, not the scheduled one.
My lawn went from patchy and thin to thick and green. PROTURF knew exactly what it needed.
I have been using Eric and his team from pro turf, formally town and country for roughly 4 or so years now and couldn’t be happier with their service and expertise. Eric saved my lawn from total destruction the first year it was planted through a very well scheduled fertilizer program. With the regular fertilizer applications and fall aeration’s and overseeding I now have a lawn to be proud of. They are always very responsive and accommodating when it comes to additional applications and treatments. I hope the photos speak for themselves.
It is rare to see good customer service and great work results from the same company. Proturf is very responsive to inquiries and did a great job fixing my lawn issues. The lawn looks great!
