You will see improvement with each treatment, but we ask you give it a year for your lawn to receive the benefit of our full program. It can take up to 14-21 days for the weeds to start yellowing and wilting after treatments.
There are several factors that could determine why your lawn isn’t as green as your neighbors. You may have Bermuda grass while your neighbor has Zoysia. You could even both have Bermuda, but different types. Watering and mowing habits play a very important role in the color of your lawn. Lawn treatments and how long you’ve been receiving them also contribute to the greenness of the turf.
You should evenly water in about an inch and a half per week. We don’t recommend watering every day or at night, as it could promote weed and fungus growth in the lawn. Watering for longer periods, fewer days of the week, and between 4-10 AM will give you the best results.
You never want to take off more than a third of the blade of grass. If you want your grass to be 2” tall, mow when it gets to 2 ¾” tall. That could be every few days or every other week depending on weather. St. Augustine, however, should be maintained no lower than 3 inches. We recommend waiting at least 24-48 hours after treatments to mow the lawn as well. If you do not have proper mowing habits, it can not only cause stress and damage to the turf, but it can also slow the progression of a weed free lawn.
Yes and no. If it’s your first mow of the year, you should scalp and bag Bermuda after the last frost to help remove dormant turf. Never scalp Zoysia or St. Augustine. After the first cut, follow recommended mowing habits. Also, if your lawn has majority weeds, you would want to bag to help prevent spreading more weeds. If your lawn is actively growing and healthy, it’s better to not bag it because the clippings recycle our nutrients back into the soil and helps the lawn by adding organic matter.
There are many reasons you may have brown spots in the lawn. It could be from a lack of water, it could be from a fungus, or it could be from an insect eating the root system or the actual blade of grass. Discoloring of the lawn could also be from dog urine, chemical or gas leaks, or if something is sitting directly on top of the surface of the turf. If you notice discoloration in the lawn, please give us a call. Do not try to self-diagnose what may be the cause of the issue.

We do not spray flower beds. Weed control and pre-emergents can be detrimental to the other plants in the flower beds as well as to those that you may plan on planting in those areas in the future. We suggest keeping fresh mulch in your beds and hand pulling weeds after a rain shower to help safely keep them under control.
They are both quarterly programs, but the Pest Control is to protect the home against insects whereas the Flea & Tick program is to protect the lawn. We spray 5 feet up and out from the home and around doors and windows for the Pest Control program. The Flea & Tick program is done on the turf and beds. We can also treat for fleas and ticks inside your home for an additional fee.
You can rid your property of any bird baths or empty pots that hold water. You can try to reduce the amount of standing water, high grass, and underbrush. You could also let us install a Dynatrap!
We recommend keeping the pets off the turf while the product is still wet, just as a precaution to those that may have sensitive skin.
We suggest your pets are treated by your vet with flea & tick preventatives to help protect them against the insects along with the services that we provide.
The treatments we do on the lawn during dormancy, starting in the fall, actually prevent weeds from germinating in the soil. We treat the ornamentals during the winter to protect them from overwintering insects and their eggs.
All our treatments need to be watered in. We add a surfactant to all our herbicides to ensure that the product stays on the weeds even in the event of rain.
We give a 5% discount for military and give a 5% discount for prepaying.
We do not do contracts at all. You are free to cancel your services with us anytime. We do recommend taking the entire program for Lawn, Horticulture, Pest, Mosquito and Flea & Tick treatments. Each service is needed to produce the desired results. We do not offer one-time treatments for the Lawn, Horticulture, or Pest programs.
