The frequency of treatments varies based on your lawn and the severity of the weed problem. Generally, we recommend a seasonal approach, with treatments in spring and fall to prevent common weeds. However, some lawns may require additional treatments during the growing season.
Safety is our top priority. We recommend keeping pets and children off the treated areas until the application has fully dried, usually a few hours post-treatment.

Our services cater to both residential and commercial properties. We can work on large commercial landscapes, corporate campuses, and residential lawns.

Lawn Aeration Services...
Lawn aeration involves perforating the soil with small holes to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots. This process helps the roots grow deeply and produce a stronger, more vigorous lawn, combating soil compaction and promoting the overall health of your turf.
Typically, aeration should be performed once a year, but it can vary depending on your lawn's specific needs, grass type, and soil condition. Lawns with heavy clay soil or those subject to high foot traffic may benefit from biannual aeration.
Yes, aeration can help manage thatch buildup by improving soil aeration and encouraging natural decomposition. While it doesn't remove thatch directly, it facilitates conditions that help prevent excessive thatch accumulation.
The best time to aerate your lawn is during the growing season when the grass can heal and fill in any open areas after soil plugs are removed. Typically, this is in early spring or fall for cool-season grasses, and late spring through early summer for warm-season grasses.
Ensure your lawn is properly watered a few days before the scheduled aeration, as moist soil aerates more effectively. Remove any debris, such as sticks and large stones, and mark any sprinkler heads or underground utilities to avoid any damage.
After aeration, continue to water your lawn regularly and consider overseeding or applying fertilizer to enhance the health and appearance of your grass. The holes from aeration allow for better penetration of water, oxygen, and nutrients, making post-aeration care particularly effective.
