The city’s northern neighborhoods toward Freetown.
Steep Brook is Fall River’s north end — the neighborhoods along North Main toward the Freetown line, where the city loosens into larger lots and the woods start winning ground.
It’s the closest part of the city to our shop, and the most transitional turf we treat there: part urban ledge-and-slope, part Freetown woodland edge, sometimes both in one yard.
Granite runs shallow through north Fall River, and Steep Brook lots often pair thin rocky soil with a wooded boundary shedding acid leaf litter onto it. Patient soil-building at aeration time deepens the root zone; lime by test counters the woods. Both are fixes that stack year over year.
A typical Steep Brook property has a city-style front lawn and a back that fades into trees — two different programs on one lot. We feed and renovate the front for show, manage the back edge for density and tick habitat, and don’t pretend one treatment plan fits both.
Steep Brook rides between Fall River’s early bay-warmed spring and Freetown’s later woodland one — we time by soil temperature street by street. Grub prevention before July, tick vigilance at every wooded edge through October, and September aeration while warmth lasts.
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!
