Lawn Care
Our comprehensive lawn care program includes fertilization, weed control, and soil conditioning tailored to Eastern Pennsylvania's climate. Using environmentally friendly products, we address crabgrass, dandelions, and nutrient deficiencies while improving drought resistance. Our 7-step process ensures thick, green turf through seasonal changes, with free re-treatments within 30 days of service.
Insect Control
Targeting ants, grubs, ticks, and mosquitoes, our insect control uses reduced-risk treatments to protect families and pets. We address flea/tick infestations and grub damage through targeted applications, with follow-up inspections to ensure effectiveness. Our technicians identify and treat over 20 pest species affecting lawns and ornamental plants.
Mosquito Control
Our mosquito control program combines barrier treatments and breeding site elimination to reduce populations by 90%+. Using EPA-registered, low-impact solutions, we protect outdoor spaces while safeguarding pollinators. The service includes property inspections, customized treatment plans, and free re-treatments if effectiveness diminishes within 30 days.
Aeration & Seeding
Core aeration relieves soil compaction and improves water/nutrient absorption, while overseeding fills bare spots with drought-resistant grass varieties. This service enhances root development and reduces thatch buildup, creating denser turf that resists weeds and disease. We recommend annual treatments for optimal lawn health.
Tree & Shrub Care
Our 5-point treatment plan protects ornamental plants through deep-root fertilization, disease prevention, and pest control. We target common issues like aphid infestations and fungal infections while improving soil nutrition. Regular maintenance enhances plant resilience to Pennsylvania's seasonal extremes and increases property value by up to 20%.

This is the first time I had them come to the house. The gentleman was very thorough in applying the lawn products. They are very responsive to inquiries.

Seems totally sketch. Called about having my lawn renovated, Mike was great and came for a visit. When I received the quote it was for a full service lawn fertilization program. Never once was this mentioned during the visit with Mike. Additionally I mentioned a free grub service flyer I received in the mail and he told me it was no longer valid. Secondly, I asked about soil testing for the $50 lime application and was told it's necessary every year.
Very unprofessional approach and a way to scam people out of more money. Will never recommend this company to any possible new clients. Edit 1 hour later: After a bad review, Mike proceeded to call me and attempt to make things right. This magnified the problem even more. Completely unprofessional.

They are always great for your scheduled service but when you have a question, they tell you someone will come out to look at it but that never happens. They just continue your regular service and send you the bill but never respond to your concerns. Services: Weed control, Lawn pest control
