While many companies use a non-targeted approach to pest management which kills everything in the environment including many beneficial species, Portage Turf works to implement a very effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on common-sense practices. We believe it is possible to find that balance of a beautiful lawn and landscape while minimizing potential negative impacts on our environment. We approach this balancing act by utilizing the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM.) We apply the highest quality slow release products available, minimizing leaching while providing you with long lasting green in less applications. We also utilize spot applications to limit the use of pesticides on your lawn. Why apply herbicide to the entire lawn if there are only a few weeds? Other companies prefer to spray the entire lawn with herbicide every time because its easier and faster. We take the time to evaluate each lawn and apply herbicide as necessary, greatly reducing the amount of actual product on your lawn- many times only fractions of an ounce. At Portage Turf Specialists, we understand balance is the key for the health of your turf, trees and landscape. Since 2007, our locally-owned company has provided you with the right products and services that produce the beautiful environment you desire for the best value your money can buy. All the while, we are aware that Mother Nature is constantly monitoring our practices and approach.
