Family streets around Hopewell and Memorial parks.
Oakland is one of Taunton’s steadiest neighborhoods — quiet residential streets anchored by Hopewell Park and Memorial Park, with lawns that have been family territory for generations.
Established neighborhoods carry established-lawn problems: soil packed hard by decades of use and grass genetics that predate modern varieties. Both fix the same way — from the soil up — and Oakland yards respond beautifully.
Oakland’s lawns sit on the heavier side of Taunton’s soil mix — better moisture retention than the sandy flats, but quicker to compact under mowers and foot traffic. Fall core aeration is the highest-value visit on these streets; most yards we open up haven’t seen a machine in a decade.
Turf planted in the ’70s and ’80s runs on genetics that need more water and more nitrogen than anything we’d seed today. Overseeding modern disease-resistant varieties into aerated ground upgrades the lawn you already own — no tear-out, one fall, permanent improvement.
Pre-emergent as forsythia blooms, grub prevention before the July egg-lay — Oakland’s mix of sun and mature trees keeps pressure moderate but real — and the marquee fall visit: aeration and overseeding in September. Ten minutes from our Dighton shop, so timing lands when conditions say, not when the calendar guesses.
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.
