Services
Lawn Maintenance
Professional lawn maintenance covering mowing, string trimming, and debris removal. Our technicians address seasonal needs while maintaining consistent height and pattern for optimal grass health. Regular visits ensure proper growth patterns and immediate attention to problem areas.
Fertilizer Spray Service
Custom-blended liquid fertilizer applications administered by licensed technicians. We adjust formulations seasonally to address soil pH levels and nutrient deficiencies while promoting root development and vibrant green coloration throughout the growing season.
Moss Control
Targeted moss control addressing underlying causes like soil acidity and poor drainage. Our treatments include lime application and aeration to create unfavorable conditions for moss regrowth while restoring lawn density and health.
Lawn Aeration
Mechanical core aeration to reduce soil compaction and improve water/nutrient absorption. We remove soil cores to allow deeper root penetration, enhance oxygen flow, and break down thatch buildup for stronger, healthier turf.
Pressure Washing

Called for an estimate to have it not scheduled. Finally get a call that he's on the way and will arrive in 15 mins (4pm) after freeing up my ENTIRE day since it wasn't scheduled in a window. Guy shows up and leaves after 2 minutes of talking. Let me sum it up. I stated I wanted to have a 1 time job to start and then a weekly routine down the road. Kirk repeatedly asks if its going to be a one time job which I leave it open and say I would like to start a routine down the line. kirk states it won't work then proceeds to walk away from me while I'm asking questions about payments and service to which he doesn't reply.
Long story short I wasted my time (a whole day) waiting for a guy for him to then not respect my time and leave without giving me any information. I would recommend staying away from this company. I would give a 0 out of 5 if I could

I used barefoot throughout the fall, winter and until mid May. There was a problem or two and the owner came out and offered to spray heavier but the problem persisted. I complained but I was rudely rebuffed over the phone. He would not come out. Some people will pee on you and try to convince you it's rain. This complaint is a snippet of what I filed with BBB and Angie's list. The owner failed business 101 miserably!

Critical: Quality Breaking a PVC pipe with your heavy duty mower then blaming a dog is beyond unprofessional and honestly horrible to do to an animal who cant even speak for themselves. You deserve less than one star. Thanks for trying to bury the broken pieces.

I hired this company almost two years ago. They were wonderful at first and they do a great job when they actually complete the work. One day out of the blue, they just didn't mow my back yard. I called and was told I wouldn't be charged and they would follow up with the crew to find out what happened. I never received a follow up call. The next time they mowed the lawn, they left huge strips of missed spots everywhere with absolutely zero communication from anyone. I don't know if they got new crew members or what but after that I decided to take my business elsewhere.

This company has broken multiple parts of my fence and multiple times from March of this year to July 19th. They have hidden damaged parts of the fence. When I requested a simple fix to the most recent damage they did, the owner refused to do the fix. I will never use this company again

Contacted and requested information on dethatching and aerating my yard. Was told he would come out on Friday. No real time given, just that he would be out on Friday. Well, he did show up on Friday and that was good but that is where it ended. He drove up to my house and told us that he couldn't do the work because "he couldn't get his truck and trailer in to turn around". I asked how big his trailer was as we have had many contractors to the house with large trailers and equipment (including paving and a semi truck in when moving) and he just stated he could not do it. However, while here he tried to sell me on lawn fertilization services.
Would not recommend and will not refer to others. By the way, lawn aerators and lawn dethatchers are not that big.you showed up in a pickup truck and they could have fit in the bed. If you don't want the work and are just showing up to sell other services that were not requested don't advertise what you don't want to do.
