About Green Systems

By late July the island runs dry along the ridge, and you can read it from West Main Road — the high open ground going pale while the low pockets near Lawton Valley stay stubbornly green. Green Systems reads Portsmouth lawns the same way, treating a yard as soil and root and season rather than a surface to be shaved once a week. Mowing height goes up when the heat sets in, so the blades shade their own ground; feeding and weed control are timed to when the turf can actually use them. Come September, core aeration opens the compacted paths and the overseed goes down while the ground still holds summer warmth. It is unhurried work with a delayed reward, and the reward is a lawn that stands up to August without going brittle. Nothing looks better against a stone wall than turf that is genuinely thick.
