Lawn Care Martha's Vineyard
Keep your lawn green, thick, and healthy all season. We provide complete turf management programs—from weekly mowing and organic fertilization to aeration, top dressing, and sod installation.
Lawn care on Martha's Vineyard covers the full turf-management cycle: weekly mowing, organic-based fertilization, aeration and overseeding, weed control, dethatching, top dressing, sod installation, and hydroseeding. Infinity Landscaping designs seasonal programs matched to Island soils and salt exposure, scheduled around peak-season pressure. Annual maintenance plans typically include a soil test and a recommendation calendar.
What lawn care services are available
Weekly mowing & trimming
We keep your lawn at the perfect height for health and color. Our weekly service includes clean, sharp mowing, string trimming around obstacles, edging of borders, and complete blowing of clippings from driveways and patios.
DetailsCustom fertilization programs
Vineyard turf needs specific nutrients. We apply tailored organic and slow-release fertilization treatments based on your soil profile, promoting deep root development and rich color without polluting local ponds or bays.
DetailsAeration & overseeding
Heavy seasonal traffic and winter frost compact lawn soils. We perform core aeration to break up compaction and open pathways for air and water, combined with high-quality overseeding to fill in thin spots and build density.
DetailsSod & new lawn installation
Get an instant lawn. We prep the soil base, install grading, and lay down fresh, premium bluegrass or fescue sod to establish a lush, weed-free lawn ready for use in just two weeks.
DetailsLawn dethatching & renovation
Thatch buildup blocks water, air, and fertilizer from reaching live turf. We run powered mechanical dethatching in early spring or fall, collect and remove the debris, and let your lawn breathe and recover quickly.
DetailsCompost top dressing & soil building
Sandy Island soils drain fast and hold few nutrients. We apply a thin, even layer of premium organic compost or sand-compost blend to build soil structure, level minor low spots, and feed turf naturally.
DetailsOrganic weed control
Keep a clean, weed-free lawn without compromising soil health. Organic-based pre-emergents block crabgrass in early spring, while targeted spot treatments manage clover, dandelions, and broadleaf weeds.
DetailsHydroseeding
Grow a thick lawn efficiently over larger areas. We spray a custom slurry of seed, mulch fibre, tackifier, and organic nutrients matched to your soil test, with first germination in 5 to 7 days.

Managing lawns in sandy coastal soils
Most properties on Martha's Vineyard sit on sandy soils that naturally drain water and leach nutrients very quickly. Standard synthetic fertilizers wash through this soil layer almost immediately, providing little benefit to grass roots while threatening the Island's sensitive marine ponds and groundwater.
We address this with a soil-first approach. Our lawn programs use slow-release, organic-based fertilizers and natural compost top dressings that build soil structure, hold moisture, and feed the grass roots steadily. We also recommend mowing at a higher height, 3 to 3.5 inches during summer, to shade the soil, reduce evaporation, and encourage deep, drought-tolerant root growth.
Lawn care schedule highlights
A strong Vineyard lawn depends on timing. Each season has a different turf-care priority, and annual plans adjust around soil conditions, rain, irrigation, and property use.
Spring: April-May
Clean up winter debris, perform core aeration, apply pre-emergent crabgrass control, and start weekly mowing.
Summer: June-August
Mow at a higher height, apply slow-release organic fertilizers, perform grub inspections, and check irrigation schedules.
Fall: September-October
Perform core aeration and overseeding, apply winterizer fertilizer, and run final top-dressing programs.
Winter: November-March
Plan dormant seeding, soil pH lime treatments, and lawn mower blade sharpening.
