Services
Lawn Care
Our comprehensive lawn care programs use locally blended products tailored to Colorado's soil and climate. Six seasonal applications include pre- and post-emergent weed control, eco-friendly fertilizers, and preventative treatments to ensure year-round lawn health and density.
Tree Care
Specialized tree care includes deep root fertilization, micro-injections, and disease prevention treatments. Our ISA-certified arborists diagnose and address tree health issues, ensuring longevity and vitality through targeted nutrient delivery and pest control solutions.
Aeration
Seasonal core aeration breaks up soil compaction, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach root zones. This service reduces thatch buildup, prevents turf diseases, and enhances root development for stronger, healthier lawns in Colorado's challenging clay soils.
Weed Control
Targeted bed weed control programs eliminate unwanted vegetation in mulch and rock beds through integrated pest management. Five seasonal applications use EPA-registered herbicides with spot treatments guaranteed to maintain weed-free commercial and residential landscapes.
Turf Disease Control
Specialized fungicide programs combat Colorado's common turf diseases like Necrotic Ringspot. Treatments begin in May with two applications spaced 21-30 days apart, requiring minimum three-year commitment to eradicate deep-rooted fungal infections in affected lawns.
