Irrigation DetailsMore Than Mowing. We Manage Ecosystems.
On Martha's Vineyard, a healthy lawn is a battle against the elements. Sandy, acidic soils drain nutrients rapidly, while coastal humidity invites fungal disease year-round. At Estate Care, we engineer soil health, not just cut grass.
We understand that a resilient, emerald lawn starts underground, requiring a scientifically calibrated approach that respects the Island's delicate watershed. Every program begins with a soil analysis. Every service is timed to the Vineyard's specific phenology.
- NOFA-certified organic treatments available on every property
- Phosphorus-free programs protect Island ponds and coastal waters
- Tailored nutrient plans for sandy, loam, and clay soil zones
- Robotic & precision mowing technology for consistent results

The Result: By mid-July, root density increased 40%, delivering a resilient, deep-green carpet requiring 30% less irrigation.

Trusted by the Vineyard's Finest Estates
"We tried three different companies before Estate Care. They were the only ones who figured out why our grass was dying near the pines. True agronomists, not just mowers."

"The organic program was non-negotiable for us because of our dogs and our proximity to the pond. The lawn looks better now than when we used chemicals. I wish we'd switched sooner."
