The old railroad-junction village, east Berkley.
Myricks grew up where the rail lines crossed in east Berkley, and it still has that crossroads-village feel — a cluster of homes with woods and wetlands running out behind them.
This is the most wooded corner of an already-wooded town, and the lawns follow: forest-soil acidity, shade edges that keep advancing, and enough wildlife traffic to make dense turf a genuine part of the tick defense.
Yards cut from oak and pine start in the low 5s for pH and drift back down every fall as the leaves and needles drop. A real lime program — tested, corrected, retested — is the non-negotiable first step; without it, fertilizer here feeds the moss and the weeds more than the grass.
Woods reclaim edges a foot at a time: more shade, more root competition, thinner turf each year. We hold the line with fine-fescue overseeds along the borders, higher mowing, and honest advice about where a mulched transition beats an annual fight.
Spring follows the oaks here — applications start when the understory greens, a beat behind open Dighton. Ticks run May through October at full strength, grubs lay in July, and September aeration-plus-overseed does its best work while the woods are still warm. Myricks routes with Berkley and Assonet, minutes from the shop.
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!
