Services
Lawn Fertilization
Our customized fertilization programs deliver essential nutrients to promote thick, vibrant grass growth. We create tailored plans based on grass type, soil condition, and seasonal needs using environmentally responsible products. Treatments strengthen roots, prevent weed invasions, and improve lawn color while maintaining safety for children and pets.
Weed Control
We target both broadleaf and grassy weeds through strategic pre-emergent and post-emergent treatments. Our season-long program includes spot treatments and ongoing monitoring to eliminate dandelions, crabgrass, and other common invaders. Safe, effective herbicides protect your lawn while preserving environmental health.
Core Aeration
This essential service removes soil cores to improve air, water, and nutrient penetration. By breaking up compacted soil, we enhance root development and thatch breakdown. Performed annually in fall, it significantly improves lawn thickness and overall turf health through better root system development.
Grub Proofing
Our preventive grub control applies targeted insecticides in late spring to protect against lawn-damaging beetle larvae. The season-long treatment safeguards turf roots from destruction while maintaining ecological balance. Regular monitoring ensures timely intervention for complete pest protection.
Ornamental Tree Care
This specialized service protects ornamental trees and shrubs through six seasonal treatments. We apply targeted nutrients directly to foliage while preventing over 100 common pests and diseases. Regular applications maintain plant health, enhance aesthetic appeal, and protect investments in landscape beautification.

Questions
When should my lawn be fertilized?
We recommend four annual fertilizations timed to your grass type's growing cycles, with additional recommendations for cool-season and warm-season grasses.
What height should I mow my lawn?
Maintain 2.5-3 inches height, never removing more than 1/3 of the grass blade during any single cutting to prevent damage.
What is core aeration?
Core aeration removes soil cores to improve root development, water absorption, and nutrient penetration, creating healthier, thicker turf.
Why do weeds still appear after treatment?
New weed seeds germinate constantly - our program prevents most but may require free touch-ups between scheduled visits for complete control.
How does grub proofing work?
We apply preventive insecticides in late spring to protect against lawn-damaging beetle larvae through season-long control measures.
Are treatments safe for pets and children?
Yes, our products are environmentally responsible and safe for families when applied according to our technicians' instructions.
