Services
Fertilization & Weed Control
Our tailored fertilization programs deliver essential nutrients while targeting weeds through seasonally appropriate treatments. By analyzing soil composition and applying customized solutions, we promote thick, green grass growth year-round. Services include soil testing, pH balancing, and targeted weed management to ensure optimal lawn health.
Outdoor Pest Control
We protect outdoor spaces with targeted treatments for mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, and turf-damaging insects. Our programs include barrier sprays, organic options, and seasonal insect control to maintain pest-free environments. Services are designed to safeguard both lawns and home perimeters while minimizing impact on beneficial insects.
Aeration & Seeding
This service relieves soil compaction through core aeration, allowing air and nutrients to reach roots. Overseeding fills thin spots with weed-free grass varieties to create denser, healthier lawns. Fall and spring programs address seasonal needs, including compost applications to enhance soil structure and root development.
Tree & Shrub Care
Our specialists provide nutrient programs, disease prevention, and pest protection for trees and shrubs. Services include deep root feeding, fungicide applications, and targeted treatments for issues like crepe myrtle bark scale. Customized care ensures year-round vitality for ornamental plants and landscape trees.
Disease Control Program
This multi-round program targets fungal diseases like brown patch and dollar spot through preventive fungicide applications. Timed treatments from April to August protect warm- and cool-season turf, with emergency response options for sudden disease outbreaks. Combines with insect control for comprehensive lawn protection.
