Services
Soil Building Program
Our eight-treatment annual program revitalizes soil health through seasonal liquid compost applications. Customized plans address specific lawn conditions while organic disease and pest control protect your landscape. Regular assessments ensure optimal results throughout the year.
Liquid Compost
Specially formulated liquid compost delivers essential nutrients directly to plant roots. This vermicomposting-based solution improves soil structure, enhances water retention, and promotes microbial activity for healthier, more resilient turfgrass.
Mosquito Control
Biweekly treatments combine fogging applications and larvicide to break the mosquito lifecycle. Our all-natural solutions target breeding areas while maintaining safety for beneficial pollinators and household pets.
Core Aeration
Mechanical aeration removes soil plugs to improve air and water penetration. This process enhances root development and nutrient absorption, creating stronger, more drought-resistant lawns in North Texas clay soils.
Fire Ant Control
Targeted liquid treatments eliminate fire ant colonies while preventing reinfestation. Our multi-step approach safely controls infestations through direct application to mounds and surrounding areas.

Report
I was having some issues with several weeds and unwanted grass in my yard. Once their crew came in and did my lawn, I had golf courses coming by.

Report
I signed up for their service after they helped me with a chinch bug problem. My yard became beautiful. I recently discontinued service only because.
