Services
Lawn Fertilization
Our tailored fertilization programs replenish essential nutrients to create lush, healthy lawns. Using both slow-release and liquid formulas, we address seasonal needs while improving root strength and color. With precise application timing and pre/post-emergent weed control, our system combats nutrient deficiencies that lead to thin, vulnerable grass. Customers benefit from customized treatment plans developed through 14 years of local expertise in Salt Lake City's unique climate conditions.
Pest Control
Our perimeter pest control creates protective barriers against common invaders like ants, spiders, and wasps. By applying treatments along property edges, we prevent infestations while maintaining family-friendly safety with organic products. The service combines seasonal applications with targeted interventions during peak pest seasons, providing year-round protection. Our technicians receive specialized training in identifying and eliminating pest entry points while maintaining environmental responsibility.
Weed Control
We implement comprehensive weed management combining pre-emergent barriers with post-emergent treatments for existing growth. Our specialists identify regional weed species to create targeted eradication plans while preventing regrowth. The service includes both granular and liquid applications timed to local growing cycles. With guaranteed results and free follow-up treatments, our approach ensures lawns remain weed-free throughout the growing season.
Liquid Aeration
This non-invasive treatment uses natural compounds to break down soil compaction, enhancing water and nutrient absorption without disruptive mechanical methods. Our liquid aeration formula improves oxygen flow to roots while maintaining lawn surface integrity. Particularly effective for shallow compaction issues, treatments can be applied multiple times during the growing season. The process complements fertilization programs by maximizing nutrient uptake efficiency.
Grub Prevention
Our preventive grub control targets destructive larvae before they damage turf roots. The treatment forms part of our comprehensive pest management system, combining seasonal applications with monitoring services. By addressing grub infestations proactively, we prevent the unsightly brown patches caused by these pests. The organic formula works safely alongside other lawn treatments while maintaining beneficial soil insect populations.

I have used a few other companies in the past and Holmes has been the best by far. They always sent the same tech which was nice because he knew my lawn and it's issues well. Also they communicate very well and we're the first company to keep the weeds completely under control. Would recommend to anyone looking for an amazingly good experience.

I can't say enough about this company I went through six companies before them. They communicate what they are going to do before they come so you can be ready. They send videos explaining what they are putting down on your lawn. They arrive on time and do a great job. They respectful to your property and make sure to leave it the way they found it. If they see anything concerning they send you an email. They answer any dumb question that you may have. I can't recommend them enough!

We needed a repair on an existing sprinkler system and a new system run to some flower beds. They were able to come out the day after I called. He diagnosed and quickly fixed the problem with the existing system. He then installed the new system very quickly. We could tell the technician was knowledgeable and experienced. Great experience and we would highly recommend them!
