Lawn Care & Landscape Maintenance

  • Do you offer lawn mowing service?

    Yes, both residential and commercial, but only in the Columbia area at this time. We can refer you to someone in other markets.

  • Do you remove trees?

    No, we do not offer tree removal services. We work with some companies that we trust to refer you to. We provide tree care services for all phases of the tree life cycle.

  • Are your lawn applications safe for my children and pets?

    Yes. We apply the safest and the best materials for the job that we can on your property and our own. We recommend allowing the liquid applications to dry for 30 minutes before returning to the lawn.

  • Why do I continue to have weeds?

    Unfortunately you cannot eliminate all weeds. What we can do is to help you create an environment that reduces most of the weeds in the lawn for most of the growing season. Seeding to increase turf density and appropriate mowing practices throughout the season is actually your best weed control.

  • After you treat for fungus, will it come back?

    In most situations, yes it will come back. When the conditions favor the fungal disease and you have an established host plant, there is little to nothing that you can do to remove all risk for disease development and potential damage. Proper management practices and use of appropriate fungicides at the proper time can drastically reduce the pressure your turf receives from fungal disease.

Pest Control

  • Do you provide bed bug treatment?

    Yes, we do get rid of bed bugs. The best approach to controlling bed bugs is the heat approach. We use both heat and chemical backup on most jobs.

  • Can you get rid of squirrels in my attic? And what do you do with them to make sure they don’t come back?

    Yes, we can trap squirrels and many other varmints. We will relocate them, without harm to an area far enough away that they will not be able to return. We can also repair the entry hole.

  • Do you offer termite inspections?

    Yes, we offer free termite inspections for homeowners. We also provide termite inspections for real estate transactions for $50. 

  • Do you service the lake?

    Yes, we offer pest control services including termite inspections and pet fencing.
