Services
Lawn Care
Our lawn care services address common issues like brown spots and weeds through customized treatment plans. We use EPA-approved fertilizers and seasonal applications to strengthen grass health. Regular 6-week visits ensure consistent care from March to November, with organic options available for environmentally conscious homeowners.
Aeration & Seeding
Core aeration breaks up compacted soil to improve water and nutrient absorption, while overseeding fills thin patches. This combination promotes thicker, healthier grass with stronger root systems. We recommend annual fall treatments to optimize Pittsburgh lawns' resilience against drought and disease.
Weed Control
Our integrated weed control combines pre-emergent and post-emergent solutions to prevent and eliminate weeds like crabgrass. EPA-approved treatments target existing weeds without harming grass. Year-round applications from March to November stop weeds from stealing nutrients and damaging lawn health.
Tree & Shrub Care
Custom tree and shrub care includes root feedings, insect control, and disease prevention. Monthly treatments ensure year-round health for ornamental plants. Certified technicians use specialized methods to protect against pests while enhancing property value and ecosystem benefits.
Flea & Tick Control
Our flea and tick treatments protect families and pets from disease-carrying pests. Targeted applications eliminate existing infestations while preventing future outbreaks. The service includes free inspections and follow-up treatments to ensure complete eradication from lawns and outdoor spaces.
