Lawn Care in Somerset, MA

Local turf care

Somerset’s Trusted Turf Care Team

Somerset runs down the west bank of the Taunton River from Dighton to Mount Hope Bay — we’re neighbors, and the drive down Route 138 takes ten minutes. These are established neighborhoods with established lawns, and mature lawns have mature problems.

Fifty-year-old turf runs on fifty-year-old grass genetics: varieties that need more water, more nitrogen, and still lose to disease pressure modern cultivars shrug off. Overseeding better genetics into a lawn you already own is the highest-leverage upgrade in our catalog, and Somerset is where we do it most.

What Somerset Lawns Are Up Against

Settled streets, compacted soil

Decades of mowing, parking, and play compact a lawn one season at a time until water sheets off instead of soaking in. Most established Somerset yards we open up with core aeration haven’t been aerated in years — sometimes ever. It’s the single most effective thing you can do for turf here, and fall is the window.

River and bay influence

The southern end of town — down toward Brayton Point and the bay — picks up salt-tinged wind and a slightly gentler winter than inland Taunton. Salt-exposed frontage favors fescues over bluegrass, and coastal humidity feeds summer fungus on overfed lawns. We match both the seed and the feeding rate to your street, not your town line.

Postwar lots, modern expectations

Somerset’s capes and ranches sit on manageable quarter-acre lots — the size where a genuinely great lawn is affordable. This is our sweet spot: full five-application programs, aeration and overseeding, at a price the instant quote will show you in about a minute.

Timing matters

Getting the Timing Right in Somerset

Grubs, chinch bugs & summer stress

Sunny, sandy front yards in Somerset are chinch-bug habitat in July and August — damage looks like drought that watering doesn’t fix. Grub eggs go in during July. Our summer visits scout for both while the feeding schedule keeps turf dense enough to tolerate light pressure without chemicals.

Watering on town water

Somerset is on municipal water, and like most Bristol County systems it posts seasonal conservation guidance in dry summers. Deep-and-infrequent beats daily sprinkling every time: an inch a week, early morning, two or three sessions. A program lawn with real roots stays green on that through a normal July.

The Somerset season at a glance

Pre-emergent goes down as forsythia blooms along County Street, summer visits scout chinch and fungus while feeding stays lean, and September is the marquee visit: aeration and overseeding that undoes decades of compaction one core at a time. Established lawns reward the routine — most look their best the second spring, once the new varieties mature.

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Somerset Lawn Care FAQs

My lawn looks burned every July no matter how much I water. What is it?

In Somerset that’s usually chinch bugs or compaction, not thirst. If water pools or runs off, aerate; if damage spreads in sunny patches with a yellow halo, it’s chinch. Both are fixable — more water alone fixes neither.

Is overseeding worth it on a 60-year-old lawn?

It’s the best money you can spend here. Modern turf-type tall fescues need roughly half the inputs of 1970s grass and stay green weeks longer in summer. Aeration plus overseeding in September transforms old Somerset lawns in one fall.
