Lawn Fertilization
Our Premier Program delivers five seasonal fertilizer applications using slow-release granular products enriched with iron and micronutrients. Technicians perform bi-weekly inspections to optimize nutrient delivery during critical growth periods. This systematic approach promotes root development and maintains vibrant color throughout hot, dry summers while preventing over-fertilization risks.
Pest Management
Comprehensive protection against grubs, chinch bugs, and surface-feeding insects using low-toxicity treatments. Annual applications in June-July provide season-long coverage with guaranteed re-treatment for breakthrough infestations. Includes 30-45 days of flea and tick suppression for safer outdoor spaces.
Tree & Shrub Care
Six-treatment annual program addressing insect infestations and disease threats in landscape plants. Certified arborists apply dormant oils, miticides, and targeted fungicides to combat mites, scale, and fungal infections. Includes root zone fertilization to enhance plant resilience against environmental stressors.
Core Aeration
Mechanical soil coring alleviates compaction caused by mowing equipment and foot traffic. This Estate Program component improves air exchange, water infiltration, and nutrient absorption. Annual aeration promotes deeper root growth and enhances fertilizer effectiveness for denser, healthier turf.
Perimeter Pest Control
Exterior barrier treatment prevents household pests from entering structures. Licensed technicians apply insecticides around foundations to deter ants, spiders, and overwintering insects without indoor chemical exposure. This IPM-compliant solution creates pest-free zones while maintaining environmental safety standards.
