The farm-and-shore peninsula on the Rhode Island line.
Touisset — “land of corn” in the original Wampanoag — is Swansea’s southwest peninsula, where old farm fields run down to the Kickemuit shore and the Rhode Island line sits a few hundred yards away.
Peninsula lawns split the difference between farm and shore: open-field sun and weed pressure on one side, salt breeze and sandy edges on the other. Licensed in both states, we treat the line like it isn’t there.
Lawns carved from working fields get full sun, honest soil depth, and a weed seed bank next door that never sleeps. Density is the defense: correctly fed turf plus timed pre-emergent shuts out most of what blows in, and a clean mowed border handles the rest.
Toward the water, sand content climbs and winter storms carry salt onto exposed frontage. Fescue-forward mixes on those edges, slow-release feeding everywhere, and a spring flush watering where spray reaches — the same coastal playbook we run in Ocean Grove, a cove east.
Water on three sides softens the seasons — spring arrives ahead of Hortonville and fall seeding runs long. Grub prevention lands before July, aeration and overseeding start in late August on the shore side. Warren addresses across the line run the identical schedule — we’re licensed on both sides, so the border isn’t your problem.
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!
