Services
Fertilizing
Our customized fertilization programs deliver essential nutrients to promote thick, vibrant grass growth. We use environmentally responsible products that strengthen roots, prevent weed invasions, and improve lawn color. Treatments are scheduled seasonally to match your lawn's specific needs, with options for both synthetic and organic formulations.
Weed Control
We target both broadleaf and grassy weeds through comprehensive control programs. Our services include pre-emergent treatments to prevent crabgrass, post-emergent applications for existing weeds, and free touch-ups throughout the season. We use selective herbicides that eliminate weeds while protecting your turf.
Core Aeration
This essential service removes soil cores to improve air, water, and nutrient penetration. By breaking up compacted soil, we promote deeper root growth and enhance thatch decomposition. We recommend annual aeration combined with overseeding for optimal lawn health and density.
Grub Proofing
Our preventive grub control program protects lawns from destructive beetle larvae. We apply targeted insecticides in late spring to stop grubs before they damage turf roots. This service also includes monitoring for surface-feeding insects and managing pest populations throughout the growing season.
Tree & Shrub Care
Our six-visit program prevents over 100 insect and disease problems in ornamental plants. We apply targeted treatments directly to foliage and soil to address nutrient deficiencies and pest infestations. This service includes monitoring, disease prevention, and nutritional support for trees and shrubs under 20 feet.

Questions
When should my lawn be fertilized?
We recommend four seasonal fertilizations for optimal results, timed according to grass type and local climate conditions in Maryland and Northern Virginia.
What is the best mowing height?
Maintain 2.5-3 inches height to promote root development and prevent weed encroachment while never removing more than 1/3 of the grass blade at once.
What does grub proofing involve?
We apply preventive insecticides in late spring to control beetle larvae before they damage turf roots, providing season-long protection against destructive grubs.
How often should I water?
Provide 1-1.5 inches of water weekly during growing season, preferably in early morning hours to maximize absorption and minimize evaporation.
Why do weeds reappear after treatment?
New weed growth occurs from dormant seeds in soil. We offer free touch-up treatments during spring to address post-service germination issues.
Is rain beneficial after treatments?
Yes, rain enhances product absorption as most treatments are water-soluble, helping nutrients penetrate soil more effectively after application.
