Turf Envy’s home base, right on Abington’s Route 18 corridor.
Abington is where Turf Envy is based, so it’s the town we know best — from the historic shoe-manufacturing-era neighborhoods around the town center to the newer construction spreading out along Route 18 and Route 123.
Whether it’s a weekly mow on a Center Avenue colonial, a paver patio behind a newer build near Chestnut Street, or seasonal cleanups around Island Grove Park, being local means a shorter response time and a crew that already knows the neighborhood.
Like most of Plymouth County, Abington sits on glacial till — a mix of sand, gravel and clay left behind by the last ice age — that drains reasonably well but runs naturally acidic, typically in the 5.0-5.5 pH range. Cool-season lawns want closer to 6.2-7.0, which is why a lime application is often the single highest-value thing we do on an Abington property before fertilizer even goes down.
Abington lawns are almost universally Kentucky bluegrass, fine fescue or perennial ryegrass blends — the grasses suited to Massachusetts’ climate — which means fertilizing, aeration and overseeding windows are timed to spring and fall growth, not a year-round program.
Early-to-mid September is the ideal aeration and overseeding window here — soil is still warm enough for fast seed germination before the ground cools, and there’s no summer heat stress working against new grass.
Abington sees the same nor’easter pattern as the rest of the South Shore — plowing contracts here run roughly December through March, with de-icing on standby for any freeze after a daytime thaw.
My wife and I had decided to perform a reboot of our exterior landscaping. We partnered with Turf Envy to devise a strategy on plantings that could weather some of the challenges that we have. Matt made methodical selections that not only enhanced the aesthetics of our home but could also sustain through drought conditions and poor quality soil. They were extremely communicative and they made scheduling convenient. Their team arrived on time and completed a significant amount of scope in one day; Furthermore, they were extremely professional and left our home in better condition than it was found. My wife and I are extremely appreciative of the service that we were provided and will continue working with Turf Envy for all of our future projects and needs. Kudos to the entire team for a job well done!
We had a wonderful experience with Turf Envy! Matt is y incredibly knowledge about what he does and we couldn't be happier with our experience and the end result!
We’ve been using Matt and his team for a few years for our lawn and plowing. The team that services my yard is very communicative and does a great job. This past blizzard I was blown away by the plowing job they did. No big piles next to my car, etc. it’s hard to push the snow but they made it work and saved us a ton of extra cleanup!
