Services
Lawn Fertilization
Our science-backed fertilization program delivers essential nutrients tailored to Charlotte's soil and seasonal conditions. Using premium products, we improve lawn color, density, and root strength while enhancing resistance to drought and disease. Treatments are timed for optimal absorption based on grass type, whether fescue, Bermuda, or Zoysia. Regular applications build long-term soil health and ensure consistent growth throughout the year.
Mosquito Control
Our targeted mosquito control program protects families from disease-carrying pests while allowing safe outdoor enjoyment. Using EPA-registered solutions, we treat breeding areas and apply residual barriers that eliminate mosquitoes on contact. The treatment process includes identifying and eliminating standing water sources while maintaining environmental safety for pets and plants.
Weed Control
Combining pre-emergent and post-emergent treatments, our weed control targets both existing weeds and future growth prevention. We use selective herbicides that eliminate invasive species without harming turfgrass. The program includes soil analysis to address underlying conditions contributing to weed infestations while improving lawn density to prevent regrowth.
Lawn Aeration
We offer core and liquid aeration solutions to combat soil compaction in Carolina clay soils. Core aeration creates 3-5 inch soil channels for improved water, air, and nutrient penetration, while liquid aeration uses eco-friendly solutions to break down compaction without surface disruption. Both methods promote deeper root development and enhanced drought resistance.
Overseeding
Our overseeding service revitalizes thinning lawns using NC State University-tested seed varieties. We apply premium fescue and Bermuda grass blends that match local climate conditions, followed by precise fertilization to ensure germination. This process fills bare patches, improves turf density, and enhances disease resistance while maintaining continuous lawn coverage.

Aaron did work for me when I first moved into my new home in Davidson! I have never found anyone as good since then. I have hesitated to ask Him to come back because I live so far from mt Holly but I have decided to ask!!! I would love for him to come back!

Report
When we first started out, the service was excellent, so there is that. In the fall of this past year, they really went downhill in a hurry. We have a locked gate to our back yard because we have small children and don't want people coming through for their safety. They had a note on our account stating they needed to call 24 hours in advance for the sole purpose of having the gate unlocked. They continuously did not do this and we were not getting serviced because of this. Also, you may want to make sure they are actually doing your full lawn.
I am a stay at home mom and was home for our last service. My vehicle is in the garage for easier access with the kids. Apparently the technician did not think I was home and only did the front. We called and spoke with Chad on Feb 17 about this. He stated he would talk with a he technician and follow up. I noticed our account was charged. I called today, 11 days later after no follow up to see why I was charged without resolving the situation. Chad answered the phone.
He stayed the technician supplied pictures to him of our back yard. How easy it must be to unlock a gate and take pictures of a yard without servicing it. And why were we never contacted before being charged. Needless to say, cancelled the service. All we got was a confirmation email that the service was cancelled. They don't honor their double money back guarantee, or at least didn't offer it. Don't waste time or money like we did for a year and a half. Cheaper isn't always better, lesson learned.
