Our home base in Southern Massachusetts.
Dighton is where PROTURF calls home. Based right here at 02715, we bring golf-course quality turf care to our own neighborhood first — the same science-first programs we deliver across Southern Massachusetts start on the lawns around us.
From the Turf Care Program’s five timed applications to aeration, overseeding, and full lawn restorations, Dighton homeowners get an owner-operated crew that knows this soil because we live on it.
Between the Taunton River frontage and the Segreganset, most Dighton lawns sit on sandy loam over glacial outwash — fast-draining, naturally acidic, and quick to shed nutrients. That’s why lime is almost always part of the program here: unlimed yards commonly test in the low 5s for pH, and fertilizer applied to acidic soil is money half-wasted. A soil test is available any time you want that confirmed exactly.
Dighton is still a farm town — anyone who’s driven Williams Street past the horse paddocks knows it. Open fields mean full-sun lawns that green up fast in April but cook in late July, when sandy soil and a week without rain can push turf into dormancy. We time fertilization so the lawn heads into that stretch dense and deep-rooted, not lush and tender.
Most properties here run a half acre and up, often bordering woods, fields, or the Bristol County Agricultural High School lands. Big lawns punish shortcuts: a cheap program that costs little per application still buys a thin lawn across 20,000 square feet. Our per-square-foot pricing and instant quote were built with exactly these lots in mind.
Lots that back onto woods and fields carry real tick pressure from May through October — keep turf mowed and edges clean — dense turf and a crisp wood-line edge give ticks the least cover. For grubs, beetles lay eggs in July and larvae hatch into your root zone by August; the preventive window is late spring, and a curative rescue in September costs more turf. We build both into the program calendar.
Plenty of Dighton homes run irrigation off private wells; the rest are on district water with seasonal conservation guidance most summers. Either way the playbook is the same: water deep and infrequent — about an inch a week including rain, before 9 a.m., two or three days, not daily sprinkles. Deep roots out-drink shallow ones in an August dry spell.
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!
They do a fantastic job. They fertilize my lawn 5 times per season. The plant new seed when needed. They address any concerns promptly. My lawn is green, lush and weed free. I have been using Erik for about 5 or more years now. I couldn't be happier.
