Lawn Care
Our comprehensive lawn care program includes eight seasonal treatments for optimal turf health. Using premium fertilizers and weed control solutions, we target crabgrass, dandelions, and other common weeds while promoting root development. The service features timed applications of pre-emergent herbicides, balanced fertilizers, and lime treatments to maintain pH balance, ensuring lush, green lawns throughout the growing season.
Pest Control
Our quarterly pest control service creates protective barriers around properties using targeted perimeter sprays. Technicians inspect homes for infestation risks, apply foundation treatments to prevent entry, and provide interior spot treatments as needed. The program specifically targets common regional pests while maintaining environmentally responsible practices through scheduled maintenance visits and condition-based adjustments.
Aeration
Core aeration services improve soil health by reducing compaction and thatch buildup. Using professional equipment, we create pathways for air, water, and nutrients to reach grassroots. This service enhances fertilizer absorption, promotes deeper root growth, and improves drought resistance, resulting in stronger, more resilient turf that better withstands seasonal stressors.
Grub Treatment
Our grub control program targets destructive lawn pests at multiple life stages. Applying preventive treatments in spring and curative solutions in summer, we protect turf from white grub damage that causes brown patches and lawn deterioration. The service includes monitoring for beetle activity and customized treatment plans to maintain lawn integrity throughout the growing season.
Weed Control
Targeted weed control services eliminate broadleaf weeds and grassy invaders through strategic herbicide applications. Our technicians identify weed species to select appropriate treatments, applying pre-emergent solutions for crabgrass prevention and post-emergent sprays for existing weeds. The program includes follow-up visits to ensure complete eradication while protecting desirable turf species.

Me and my wife love Southern Lawn and Pest, Inc. We have been using them for almost two years now with no issues. They have a small town feel to them which is another reason why we chose them. Also, they don't push any additional services on you like some other business do. We will continue to you southern lawn!

By far best company I have ever used. In the past I have had other company's spray and it would 4 or more sprays to make it right. Not these guys 1 spray and it was perfect. I recommend them to anybody. That and there all very helpful.

Thanks to Steve Clark and Southern Lawn and Pest, my lawn has never looked better. What is equally as impressive is the quality professional service. There are many companies offering the same exact service/product, and the determining factor in identifying the best company is simply customer service. This company exemplifies professionalism.
