As a locally owned and operated business, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service and attention to detail. Contact us today for professional and reliable lawn fertilization and treatment services.
"More Like Eastern 1/3 of your lawn Maintenance! I watched my service provider on Ring cameras perform service on 3,600 square feet and ignore the front and side lawns, 6,200 square feet. But my bill reflected 10,000 square feet of service. When I called to question this, they didn't seem to care and I canceled my account. Then I got a p*****-off call from the guy who serviced my lawn (which I did not request), trying to justify the lack of work done on my property. I am still waiting on a call from the 'office manager' about making this right, but I doubt that will come. Attached is an image from the untreated portion of the property, that was nice green grass a year ago (and 1,500 bucks ago) and now it's not doing so well, I wonder what it would have looked like had it been properly serviced!!!"

"If I could give them zero stars, I would. Bruce's crew is the most unprofessional group of people I've ever dealt with. They lie, do sloppy work, and then have the audacity to yell at me and call me names when I try to talk to them about it. They accused me and others of yelling at their crew members, but that's not true. I have everything recorded, and I'm going to share it with the HOA and other communities in the area so everyone knows what they're like. I suggest that if anyone looks for a company to do lawn care... look elsewhere."

We care for trees because we love our planet. If you need tree care services, advice from our Treecologists, new trees, or want to learn how to heal our planet, let’s chat!
"Hired on referral from our local nursery, they were supposed to plant our entire yard, take care of some existing trees, etc. Big job. Matt showed up originally, nice guy and knowledgeable, but then that was it. The people who showed up had no idea what they were doing, dug tiny holes and brought un-labled, sick plants. Most of what they planted died within the first week, half of it wasn't even the right plant or was in the wrong place. When we showed them right away we got "It may come back" or "we'll replant next year, the season is gone". Of course they did not. They never finished, Matt left and nobody else there knew what was going on. Two years later of not responding to us they now pop up asking for full payment to consider it "done" or MORE money to finish, despite an abandoned job and majority failure, but we've replaced most the plants ourselves now. Stay away, horrible company."

Lawn dethatching services FAQs
Dethatching machines look like lawnmowers but have blades that cut down in crisscrossing motions. This action loosens the thatch, which is then raked up separately and removed. You might see some dethatching machines with rake-like tines. These often do not offer the best experience compared to those with blades.
You should fertilize your lawn after dethatching. This gives the damaged grass a solid nutrient boost to aid quick recovery, helping your lawn to grow back greener and stronger. Fertilizing before dethatching wastes your time, money, and energy and may even damage your lawn.
Yes, dethatching is worth it if you've got a thick thatch layer. Grab a trowel, dig up a small section of soil and grass, and check how thick the thatch layer is. If it's an inch or more, and you're noticing problems like thinning grass, weak, patchy grass, or pale coloring, it could be time to dethatch to restore health and vigor.
The cost to reseed a lawn typically ranges from $400 to $1,800. The total price often depends on the size of your lawn and the type of service needed.
