Morin’s Landscaping – Lawn Top Dressing

Posted on by Morin's Landscaping

Lawn top dressing – evenly applying 0.25″ of rich organic compost to lawn to add organic matter.

Benefits:
*Improve soil structure by increasing aggregation of soil particles which in turn promotes aeration, infiltration, and percolation.

*Furnish 30% to 70% of a soil’s cation exchange capacity. The higher a soil’s cation exchange capacity, the greater its ability to hold onto nutrients until needed by the plant and microbes.

*Increase plant available water

*increasing plant-availability of these nutrients.

*Reduce soil erosion.

*Organic matter is a carbon (food) supply for beneficial soil microbes.

*Nutrients in organic matter are not readily leached from the soil.

Morin’s Landscaping is proud to introduce a new division, A1 PEST PROS!! 

A1 Pest Pros – Founding

Morin’s Landscaping is a locally owned business by the Morin brothers (Andy & Kevin) founded in the fall of 2009, Though landscaping was not the first business idea the Morin brothers had. Their first business endeavors was cutting and selling fire wood years before the founding of Morin’s Landscaping. Many ricks of wood was sold by the brothers but they soon ran out of locations that had a reliable supply of fire wood. That’s when the thoughts of “what can we do next” came to mind.
Why not mow a few yards?
In 2006 their grandpa, Gene Wilds was in need of a mowing service, with the heat of summer, he was not able to get outside to mow his lawn, Kevin was in need of a job to help support his dirt bike racing habit. Fast forward to 2009, when grandpa decided it was time to get a new lawn mower, which Kevin had been discussing with his grandpa about buying his old lawn mower to start a lawn care business. Grandpa thought it was a great idea! As Grandpa’s are, allowed Kevin to borrow the trailer, weed eater and blower until he could purchase his own later that year.
In the fall of 2010 Kevin was off to college for Motorsports Engineering at IUPUI, He also worked 19 hours a week for Cummins Engine Company in Columbus,IN. He now had no way of completing his 13 yards on Saturday if it rained. Andy started mowing the yards during the week after he got off work at Brooks & Earl Corp.
The Morin brothers began to do landscaping jobs on the weekends in 2011, and had 2 full time employee’s to mow all the yards they now had. Andy handled the daily company operations in the absence of Kevin during the week while he was a full time student until spring of 2015.
