Services
Lawn Fertilization
Our lawn fertilization services enhance soil nutrition and grass health using tailored programs for Charlotte's climate. We apply premium fertilizers at optimal times to strengthen roots, improve color, and resist drought. Custom blends target cool-season and warm-season grasses, ensuring year-round vitality. Regular applications promote dense turf, reducing weed invasion and disease risk. Backed by a 25-year local expertise, our treatments deliver measurable results for healthier, greener lawns.
Mosquito Control
Our mosquito control program protects outdoor spaces with safe, effective treatments. Targeting breeding areas and applying barrier sprays, we reduce populations by up to 90% for 21+ days. Services combat disease risks like Zika and West Nile while using EPA-registered products. Regular applications ensure season-long protection, allowing worry-free enjoyment of yards and patios across North and South Carolina.
Lawn Aeration
Core and liquid aeration services alleviate soil compaction, improving airflow and nutrient absorption. We recommend fall treatments for fescue lawns and spring for Bermuda/Zoysia, enhancing root development. Paired with overseeding, aeration fills bare patches and thickens turf. Our two-step process ensures comprehensive coverage, promoting resilient lawns that withstand Carolina heat and foot traffic.
Weed Control
Pre-emergent and post-emergent weed control services stop invasions at every stage. Our technicians identify regional weeds, applying selective herbicides to eliminate crabgrass, dandelions, and more. Integrated programs combine fertilization to restore lawn density, naturally suppressing regrowth. Year-round treatments ensure clean, uniform turf without chemical overuse, protecting children and pets post-application.
Overseeding
Overseeding revitalizes thinning lawns with premium, climate-specific grass blends. We use NC State University-tested seeds for drought resistance and disease tolerance. Applied after aeration, seeds germinate in soil pockets for stronger root establishment. Cool-season grasses are seeded in fall, warm-season in spring, ensuring seamless integration with existing turf. Results include thicker, greener lawns resistant to erosion and weed colonization.

I have been very pleased with the services I have received. I have only been with RDS for almost a year now and my lawn has seen a remarkable improvement. Prior to having RDS I didn't have any professional treatment for at least 5 years plus. So clearly there was a ton of work needed to get my lawn back in shape. I look forward to seeing this continual improvement. The service technicians are knowledgeable, informative and strive to satisfy any questions or concerns I might have. From my experience so far they are a Class Act.

Absolutely pleased with these guys. They email the day before treating the lawn and always let me know what is being done. We had them aerate our lawn this fall too. They returned about three weeks later and put down some more grass seed in spots that were still a little bare. Techs are always happy to answer any questions I have and offer advice to help my lawn look it's best. I recommend RDS for anyone looking to maintain a nice lawn.

Folks, these folks have a great program. They provide a service that is fantastic. If you do your part, trust me, they do theirs. We could not be happier with the results and hope they post our pictures soon. Your yard is an investment into your property. If we put our home on the market right now, we could get asking price easily, due to the grass.
