Services
Lawn Care
Our lawn care services include fertilization, weed control, aeration, and pest management to ensure healthy, vibrant turf. We use custom-blended fertilizers and both pre- and post-emergent herbicides to address specific lawn needs. With six treatment cycles annually, we promote root health and resilience against diseases and environmental stressors.
Landscaping
From concept to completion, we design and build custom landscapes featuring patios, fire pits, lighting, and water features. Our 3D design software and use of local plants ensure functional, aesthetically pleasing spaces. We specialize in hardscaping elements like retaining walls and walkways to enhance curb appeal and property value.
Irrigation Installation
We design and install efficient irrigation systems tailored to your property's unique layout and plant needs. Our systems include zoned watering schedules to optimize water use and reduce bills. We also offer winterization, repairs, and seasonal maintenance to ensure year-round functionality and longevity.
Tree & Shrub Health
Our arboricultural services address diseases, pests, and nutrient deficiencies in trees and shrubs. Treatments include iron chlorosis correction, fire blight control, and emerald ash borer prevention. Regular pruning and fertilization promote robust growth and protect against environmental threats like drought and insect infestations.
Organic Lawn Program
This program uses natural fertilizers and soil amendments to nourish lawns without synthetic chemicals. Organic matter improves microbial activity, pH balance, and drought resistance. Ideal for environmentally conscious clients seeking lush, sustainable landscapes while reducing chemical runoff into local ecosystems.
