Services
Lawn Care
Our comprehensive lawn care addresses common issues like brown spots and thinning grass through tailored fertilization, seasonal treatments, and EPA-approved products. With six annual visits, we strengthen root systems and prevent weed infestations. Technicians customize plans based on soil health, grass type, and local climate conditions to ensure year-round vibrancy.
Aeration & Seeding
Core aeration breaks up compacted soil, allowing water and nutrients to reach roots, while overseeding fills bare patches. This fall-focused service uses specialized machinery to extract soil plugs, promoting thicker, drought-resistant turf. Combined with lime applications, it balances soil pH for optimal grass growth and resilience against pests.
Tree & Shrub Care
Custom tree and shrub treatments protect against pests and diseases while enhancing landscape aesthetics. Monthly visits include root feedings, insect control, and disease management using targeted solutions. Healthy ornamentals improve property value by up to 20%, reduce erosion, and provide natural privacy screens for residential properties.
Weed Control
Preventative and reactive weed control stops crabgrass, oxalis, and other invasive species using pre-emergent barriers and post-emergent spot treatments. Year-round applications from March to November inhibit weed germination without harming grass. Services include free inspections to identify problem areas and adjust treatment strategies for long-term lawn health.
Flea & Tick Control
Targeted flea and tick treatments protect families and pets from disease-carrying pests. Our barrier sprays eliminate existing infestations and prevent reinfestation by targeting all life stages. The service includes shrub and grass treatments, with follow-up recommendations for pet grooming and yard maintenance to sustain protection throughout active seasons.
