Premium Lawn Program
Our most comprehensive lawn treatment includes 7 seasonal applications tailored to your soil's specific needs. Each visit addresses crabgrass prevention, fertilization, insect control, and disease management. The program begins with a free soil analysis to determine nutrient deficiencies and pH balance. Technicians apply specialized treatments in spring, summer, and fall to promote root development and prevent common lawn issues. Regular maintenance ensures consistent growth and resilience against environmental stressors throughout the year.
Tree & Shrub Care
Customized protection plans for landscape plants include dormant oil sprays, insect control, and disease suppression. Treatments occur throughout the growing season to maintain plant health and prevent infestations. Our program combines preventative measures with targeted interventions to address specific pest and disease threats. Fertilization applications in fall ensure plants receive essential nutrients for winter hardiness. Regular maintenance helps ornamental plants reach their full aesthetic potential while maintaining structural integrity.
Mosquito Control
Effective mosquito reduction system involves 5 annual barrier applications around property perimeters. Our EPA-registered treatments target mosquito breeding areas while remaining safe for families and pets. The program creates protective zones around outdoor living spaces to reduce biting insect populations. Additional perimeter treatments help control other pests like ants and spiders. Applications are timed to disrupt mosquito life cycles during peak activity seasons.
Aeration & Seeding
Core aeration services use specialized equipment to relieve soil compaction and improve nutrient absorption. We remove soil cores to create pathways for air, water, and fertilizers to reach grassroots. The process includes overseeding with region-specific turfgrass varieties to fill bare spots. Recommended annually for high-traffic areas, this treatment promotes deeper root development and increases lawn density. Post-treatment care instructions help maximize seed germination and turf recovery.
Weed Control
Custom herbicide applications target both pre-emergent and post-emergent weeds through seasonal treatments. Our technicians identify specific weed species to select the most effective control methods. The program combines pre-emergent barriers with targeted spot treatments for existing broadleaf weeds. Regular applications prevent new weed growth while improving turf competitiveness. Environmentally responsible products minimize chemical impact while maintaining effective weed suppression.

I have been using them for three years and our yard really does look great. They call the day before so we can keep our dog in every time. The people who do the work are really courteous. And as I said before our grass looks great

If you're looking for high quality work and top notch customer service, ProGrass is the only way to go. From general fertilization/weed control, to perimeter pest control, mosquito control, aeration and seeding, they can take care of you. You will have one technician assigned to your lawn who knows it's ins and outs and will work with you to get it looking just the way that you want. You will also receive application reports so you know exactly what was done and what products were used during that visit. Jason Dixon is my tech.
He has made a career in turf grass management and you can tell that he truly cares. If there are specific needs/questions that you have, they are quick to answer. I can't stress enough the value of the customer service that ProGrass provides.
