Services
Lawn Care
Our comprehensive lawn care services ensure year-round grass health through customized fertilization, weed control, and pest management. We use EPA-approved products tailored to Tennessee's climate conditions. Our technicians visit every 5-7 weeks to apply pre/post-emergent treatments, lime applications, and aeration when needed.
Aeration
Professional core aeration services relieve soil compaction, improving air, water, and nutrient absorption for stronger root systems. We use advanced equipment to create optimal seedbed conditions during spring months for warm-season grasses in Tennessee.
Grub Control
Effective grub control treatments target larvae before they damage grass roots. Our granular insecticides provide season-long protection against Japanese beetles and June bugs while eliminating mole attractants in Memphis lawns.
Flea & Tick Control
Targeted applications eliminate fleas and ticks in high-risk yard areas like shrubs and wooded sections. Our barrier treatments provide season-long protection against disease-carrying pests while ensuring family and pet safety through EPA-approved solutions.
Tree & Shrub Care
Year-round tree and shrub programs include seasonal monitoring, disease prevention, and custom fertilization. Our treatments protect against local pests like bagworms while enhancing plant health and bloom vibrancy in Memphis landscapes.

I did give you a call. The manager said he would have Mr. Throckmorton call me. After several days, he has not bothered to call me.

Edited my review to lower it to 5 stars. My front yard has progressed well this year but I feel as if this company is not totally taking care of the back. My back yard is full of crabgrass but my front is totally opposite. Im contemplating a switch

The worst excuse for a company. Terrible customer service. Technicians do not show up on time or if at all. When they do they're drunk and high and do you have the work if any. I am absolutely disappointed.

Guys, I have not had service with you in 5 years yet in 2020 in the middle of a pandemic I have a collection agency saying saying I owe about $100. I have not been contacted about this issue. Why wait 5 years so I don't have information going back that far to even dispute it. Clearly I can't recommend other people use this company if these are the tactics being used to try and squeeze money from people long after; tactics that include hurting someone's credit that was paid up. If you feel the need to hurt my credit then this review can be my way of damaging your credit and reputation. It's clear

I wasted 3 years of payments to these clowns they send to do a mans job and spray the lawn! After seeing poor results, I started to pull their visits up on my video recorder and sure enough as my suspicions were correct. I watch as they “2” guys sit in front of my home for over 20 minutes, then get out and put a sign and a bill on my door! I fired… them after several several talks with management and asked them even visit my home after 3 years of service and I don’t think they ever did, just sent me another invoice to pay. This company is a joke and I’d suggest taking

Caught their techs running off without spraying the back. Grass looks awful everywhere. Contacted them for 2 months about the issues, no response. When I stopped paying they magically call me looking for money. Told them about the issues the 2 months with no response, and they acted like they didn’t here me. Refused to fix any issues. Stay away
