Yes, our lawn care professionals can visit your property to conduct a comprehensive assessment of your lawn and diagnose any issues you're experiencing. Whether you're dealing with bare spots, patchy areas, poor growth, or other lawn problems, our team will personally examine your lawn and identify the exact cause along with tailored recommendations for improvement.
What to expect during an inspection:
- Our lawn care manager will assess both front and back yards
- They will identify specific issues and their root causes
- A soil test may be ordered as part of the comprehensive assessment
- You'll receive tailored recommendations based on findings
Scheduling and communication:
You will typically receive advance notification about the upcoming inspection. If you submit diagnostic photos beforehand, our team will assess the problem and determine the appropriate specialist to send. Depending on the complexity, an inspection can usually be scheduled within the next week.
If you're just starting treatment with us, we may recommend waiting for additional fertilizer applications before conducting a comprehensive assessment, as initial treatments are crucial and results require time to become apparent. This ensures we can give you the most accurate evaluation of your lawn's response to care. Contact us to schedule your lawn inspection.
We stand behind our weed control program with a 200% satisfaction guarantee. If weeds remain after treatment, here's what we offer:
Timing: Wait 1-2 weeks after your treatment before assessing results. If weed issues continue beyond this window, we're here to help.
For customers in our full six-round seasonal program: You have access to free service calls to re-spray and remove any persistent weeds at no additional cost. Our technicians will address problematic areas until you achieve a weed-free result.
How it works: Our weed control program requires two pre-emergent treatments for full effectiveness. If weeds persist after completing these applications and the waiting period, simply schedule a service call with one of our technicians to handle the remaining issues.
We guarantee a weed-free result with our program—your satisfaction is our priority. Contact us to discuss your weed control needs.
We offer a six-application lawn care program that runs throughout the season, beginning in March. Each application is priced at around $66. While we offer a minimum of four applications, we recommend the full six-treatment program because we cannot guarantee weed prevention with fewer treatments.
What's included in each application:
- The first two treatments include a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent annual weed seed germination
- Subsequent applications occur approximately every four to six weeks
- We use a granular, mostly organic fertilizer that is gentle on your lawn and does not cause burning
- The fertilizer requires rain or watering to activate and penetrate the soil
Program details:
- Our comprehensive six-step program includes free service calls
- Backed by a 200% satisfaction guarantee
- The number of applications you receive depends on when you sign up—if you join mid-season, you'll typically receive around four applications
- If you sign up now, the second round will be completed within two to three weeks to align with our standard application schedule

Our current landscaping service scheduling is typically 3 to 5 weeks out, depending on several factors:
- Current seasonal demand
- Specific project complexity
- Weather conditions
You can expect your project to be completed approximately 2 to 6 weeks from scheduling, with most services being scheduled by late summer or early fall. The precise timeline may vary slightly based on our current workload and seasonal considerations.
Key points to remember:
- Schedule your landscaping project well in advance
- Expect a wait time of around 3-4 weeks
- Actual completion might range from 2-6 weeks depending on current conditions
We recommend early booking to ensure your preferred project timeline, especially during peak landscaping season.
Our quotes are typically valid for 30 days, with some important considerations:
- Standard quote validity is 30 days from initial proposal
- If you sign up and schedule work within the current year, we'll honor the original pricing
- Pricing may be subject to change based on material cost fluctuations
We recommend accepting the quote sooner rather than later to lock in current rates, especially if we are considering potential price adjustments in the near future.
Key Point: While our quotes don't have a strict expiration date, the 30-day window provides the most stable pricing guarantee.
