A healthy lawn is built through proper nutrition, proactive weed prevention, and targeted pest control. Our program is designed to strengthen turf density, prevent invasive weeds before they emerge, and eliminate destructive insects at the root—literally.
We apply balanced, seasonally adjusted fertilization to promote steady growth, deep roots, and strong color without forcing excessive top growth. Proper fertilization increases turf density, which is the lawn’s first line of defense against weeds, disease, and environmental stress.
Benefits:
Crabgrass is easiest to control before it ever breaks the soil surface. Our pre-emergent applications create a protective barrier that stops crabgrass from germinating. If breakthrough occurs, targeted post-emergent treatments are used to eliminate it without harming desirable turf.
Results:
We control common lawn weeds like dandelion, clover, and other broadleaf invaders using selective treatments that target weeds while preserving healthy grass. Dense turf plus proper timing equals long-term weed suppression.
What this means for you:
Grubs feed on grass roots below the surface, causing thinning, brown patches, and turf that peels up easily. Our grub control applications interrupt the grub life cycle, preventing root damage before it becomes visible.
Why it matters
Our program works because it’s built around turf biology and soil science, not a fertilizer calendar. Grass is a living system—root growth, carbohydrate storage, microbial activity, and weed pressure all change by season. We time applications to what the plant is doing right now, so nutrients are actually used efficiently and protection is applied when it matters. Fertilizer alone doesn’t “fix” lawns; it simply supports growth when the lawn has the fundamentals: oxygen in the root zone, balanced nutrition, proper mowing, and a soil environment that can cycle nutrients.
Most companies won’t say this: mowing is weed control when it’s done correctly. Proper mowing height, method, and frequency increases turf density, shades the soil surface, and limits weed germination by removing the sunlight weeds need to establish. That’s why we push for total ownership of results—mowing + biological aeration & dethatching + seeding + fertilization/nutrient applications as one coordinated system. If you want the highest level of results, we go further with soil testing and build a plan around your soil’s actual pH, nutrient levels, and organic matter—so you’re not paying for guesswork.
