About Newburyport Turf Company

A lawn that has been fed on schedule shows it first at the edges — that deep, even green running clean to the walk while the neighbors' yards are still waking up, and Newburyport Turf Company builds its season around exactly that result. Their work is turf and the living things around it: fertilization programs meant to hold color from spring through fall, tick and mosquito control, tree and shrub care, poison ivy knocked back where it creeps along a fence line, and humane deer deterrents for the yards that back up to woods. Amesbury sits where the Powow drops toward the Merrimack, a town of mill-brick and hillside streets and salt air blowing in off the Salisbury marshes, and the light here changes fast — long and gold over Lake Gardner in September, thin and blue by December. When the cold arrives they are still out: salt delivery, burlap wrapped around the shrubs that catch the worst of the wind, snow stakes set along the drives before the first storm hides the pavement. It is unhurried, physical, repeated work, and the proof of it is a yard that looks cared for in every month of the year.
