Dedicated to the restoration and care of the Mill Ridge Neighborhood Grounds.
Localized lawncare focused exclusively on the unique needs of a unique Raleigh community.
Steady, sustainable growth starts today.
Mission-
Through a more attentive and more closely-monitored approach to the care and upkeep of our Mill Ridge community grounds, TameTurf’s mission is to increase the overall health and aesthetic qualities of the grounds, while also increasing the overall functionality and accessibility of our community areas - all done without increasing expenditures in the community budget. In short - A much better outcome, at no extra expense.
Our goal is to provide a level of care and investment into our community grounds above and beyond the current status quo. We seek to elevate the quality of the outdoor experience here through a custom-tailored strategy that addresses the unique needs of the different areas of the property, and improves upon and increases the value of our community grounds, and all that grows within.
Cost/Benefit Summary-
By dramatically reducing overhead costs, financial resources currently going towards overhead expenses such as entry-level & under-performing personnel, travel logistics, mechanical maintenance on multiple tools, and other associated costs, could otherwise be re-routed directly back into the restoration and improvements of our grounds, in the form of multiple applications of materials such as fertilizer, lime, and top-quality fescue seed. Unfortunately, these are things we have gotten little-to-none of over the last few years or longer.
TameTurf, although smaller in number of personnel, benefits from the proper focus and motivation of someone who actually enjoys the work. And with all of the necessary tools and experience to tackle whatever may arise here on the grounds, we are ready, willing, and able to take this responsibility and run with it. This is why, as a light-weight, custom built, on-site, readily-available solution, TameTurf can provide better, longer-lasting results in terms of topsoil, turf, and topiary quality, and without additional costs or fees.
If the community’s goal is affordable improvement in overall quality of the Mill Ridge grounds, good news - TameTurf has that exact goal as well. And what’s better? We have a strategy...
Investing in our grounds for the short & long-term fulfillment of their unique potential.
A custom-tailored, more attentive approach to efficient, effective landscaping.
A more pro-active plan for productivity is at hand.
From The Ground Up-
Dramatic improvements in the overall quality of the outdoor experience for our residents, peace of mind for owners, and dependability of groundskeeping and landscaping services for management, can all be achieved easily by choosing an in-house landscaping service with a focus on the basics:
Topsoil-
It all starts in the soil. Unfortunately, over the years our community’s topsoil has been degraded and eroded significantly. In many areas, to the point of non-existence. This is unnecessary, and avoidable.
As part of our topsoil restoration strategy, much of the seasonal fallen leaf/limb debris and much of the seasonal hedge trimmings will be removed, appropriately chopped and mulched, and redistributed as needed or stored for topsoil composting. Rather than treating this organic material as trash to be hauled away, we aim to re-cycle as much of this precious resource as possible back into the grounds. In this way, we can ensure the future health & vitality of our grounds, and everything green within. Read more here.
Turf-
When it comes to lawncare, TameTurf’s overall goal is to better utilize the natural assets of the community grounds by encouraging healthy, properly managed fescue growth through aggressive seeding, aeration, fertilization, cutting, and de-weeding of the property’s lawns and grass covered areas. With a strong focus on turf-care and ground cover, existing grasses and ground-covers will be strengthened, and troublesome/overlooked areas will be accordingly dealt with in order to restore those areas up to a standard more befitting an established community like ours.

Topiary-
Hedges and shrubbery will also receive much-needed fertilization and attention to their surrounding groundcover. With this increase in care, we can expect healthy, robust growth.
For this reason, TameTurf offers a trimming/pruning regimen similar to what we have in place now, but done instead on a schedule more closely built around the needs of the growing hedges themselves, rather than being based on the occasional availability of a busy landscaping operation. Bushes should be trimmed on an as-needed basis, and should receive a more strategically practical, and visually appealing approach to shaping. Read more here.
Tree Debris-
Not only can TameTurf provide timely attention to grass and shrubs, but the same also goes for leaf blowing and storm cleanup. When there is a major debris field on the ground, currently, we have to wait up to a week before the grounds crew arrives on their weekly visit.
TameTurf offers close observation and rapid response times through ongoing on-site availability for these seasonal situations, providing quick cleanups of major debris and obstructions when they are needed, without the hassle of waiting days for a regularly scheduled arrival. More on that here.
