Turf cleaning in Little River

A Cypress Village or Heather Lakes backyard is a few hundred square feet, often shaded, with one dog on the same corner — a single pet zone holds the whole odor problem, and a fence-line strip grows green film every summer.

It's also the cheapest yard to keep right: Premium Restoration is $299 up to 500 sq ft, and Essential Care keeps it quarterly for $89 a month.

The tap here is GSWSA's Bull Creek water; no hardness figure is published. White crust on Little River turf usually comes from private-well irrigation, sprinkler heads aimed at the turf, or, on the Cherry Grove side, salt.

We check the heads on the inspection — turf doesn't need watering, and every pass leaves minerals. Hard-water removal.

Glen Dornoch runs 260 acres along the Waterway, River Hills is Tom Jackson's and has made Golfweek's Southeast list, and Eagle Nest sits between them. The golf-lot yards here have greens, and the greens sit under pines. A green that is blown off weekly and top-dressed once a year after pollen season holds its speed; one that collects straw all winter is slow and bumpy by March. Putting green restoration.

Little River is the last South Carolina community before Calabash, and we work both sides of the state line: Calabash, Carolina Shores, Sunset Beach and Ocean Isle Beach are in the service area. Little River itself is unincorporated Horry County, so rinse water follows the county's stormwater ordinance (Chapter 17.7): nothing but stormwater to the storm system apart from a short exempt list, which is why we bag solids and let treatments dwell rather than flushing them to the street.
