Services
Lawn Aeration
Our annual core aeration service improves soil compaction and nutrient absorption through precise hole placement. This process enhances root growth, water management, and overall lawn resilience. Ideal for homeowners seeking thicker, healthier turf that withstands seasonal stressors.
Mosquito Control
Certified barrier spray treatments create three weeks of mosquito protection by targeting resting areas like shrubs. Commercial and residential solutions reduce disease risks while improving outdoor enjoyment through effective pest population management.
Fertilizer & Weed Control
Customized fertilizer programs deliver essential nutrients while simultaneous weed control prevents resource competition. Six seasonal applications maintain consistent lawn health, density, and aesthetic appeal through scientifically formulated treatment plans.
Perimeter Pest Control
Five seasonal treatments create insect barriers around properties, targeting entry points with exterior pesticide application. This proactive approach prevents indoor infestations while minimizing chemical use inside living spaces.
Lawn Overseeding
Custom overseeding treatments address thin or damaged turf areas through strategic grass seed application. This process improves lawn density, suppresses weeds, and creates erosion resistance while restoring summer-damaged landscapes.

Called to get a free quite which the guy was nice enough to come to my house whene it was raining to check on my property but I had wait two weeks when he said it would take 1-2 days to receive a quote. All of a sudden he emails me after I call at least 2-3 times with no reply and says that he doesn't have time for my project. Would of been nice to have a little more heads up and better Respect for people's time and have improved communication. Needed this work done asap and doesn't make a company look good when they don't follow up when they are supposed to

Sept. 2021 - My previous lawn fertilizing and weed control provider was forced in to retirement so I chose a prepaid program from Certified based on the strength of their reviews and cost of their program. The 2 critical things for me is how the yard appears and whether they effectively control the weeds. On appearance theyre doing okay. I remain very skeptical whether an all liquid fertilization program is adequate. Im concerned I may be depleting my yard a nutrients. A granular program may feed over a longer period of time. Im especially concerned about this fall as thats the prime

I have used Certified Lawns for years now. They do a great job with coverage. My lawn is thick and green with no weeds. It did not happen overnight. I used to do it myself, however, I would forget, or pick up the wrong stuff or the spreader would over spread, you name it. For peace of mind, it pays to use a professional. They offer a nice discount if you pay at the start of the season which makes them even more competitive on pricing.
