The historic waterfront at Somerset’s north end.
Somerset Village is the town’s original waterfront — the historic district at the north end where sea captains built along the Taunton River. The homes are antiques; the lawns don’t have to act like it.
Village lawns pair old-soil problems with riverfront conditions, and both reward the same soil-first approach we run across the river in Dighton — ten minutes door to door.
Turf that’s framed the same house since the 1800s runs on compacted soil and heirloom grass genetics. The respectful fix is renovation, not replacement: corrective lime, fall aeration, and modern varieties overseeded into the existing stand — the lawn keeps its age and loses its weaknesses.
North-end streets take steady river breeze and a touch of salt on the wind. Fescue-forward seed mixes handle what bluegrass resents, and slow-release feeding with waterline buffers keeps nutrients in the soil and out of the Taunton. Riverfront rules are standard practice for us.
The river moderates the seasons here — spring applications start early, fall seeding stretches long. Pre-emergent lands ahead of the town average, grub prevention before July, and September aeration-plus-overseed makes the biggest single-year difference these old lawns will ever see.
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.
