How often should I aerate my lawn?
Aeration is best done once or twice a year, typically in spring and fall. This helps improve soil drainage, reduce compaction, and allow nutrients to reach the roots.
What is dethatching, and why is it important?
Dethatching removes the layer of dead grass and organic material that can build up on your lawn. Too much thatch prevents water and nutrients from reaching the soil. Dethatching once a year in spring or fall keeps your lawn healthy.
How can I control weeds without damaging my lawn?
We use targeted weed control treatments that eliminate weeds while keeping your grass healthy. Regular maintenance, proper fertilization, and overseeding also help prevent weed growth naturally.
When should I fertilize my lawn?
Fertilization should be done at least three times a year—in spring, summer, and fall. Each application provides essential nutrients to keep your lawn green, thick, and strong.
Why is lime treatment important for my lawn?
Lime helps balance the soil’s pH, making nutrients more available to your grass. It also helps prevent moss growth. Lime treatments are most effective in spring and fall.
How can I prevent moss from growing on my lawn?
Moss thrives in shady, compacted, and acidic soil. Regular aeration, dethatching, lime treatment, and proper mowing techniques help prevent moss from taking over.
What’s the difference between the "Hole in One" and "Birdie" packages?
We pride ourselves on our expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction. With years of experience and a passion for creating beautiful outdoor spaces, we strive to exceed your expectations in every project.

I don't normally leave reviews but these guys deserve it.
My friend recommended me and after dealing with another lawn care provider the past few years I couldn't be happier I made the switch to them.
Brandon & the crew were super friendly, & professional.
I hired them for dethatching & not only did they do a better job but they were even better priced then the previous company I was using.

Brandon is great. Very knowledgeable and great service. Would highly recommend this to anyone.
Our lawn was a disaster and quite embarrassing to be perfectly honest. Not anymore!
Thanks Brandon! Client for life.
