Services
Lawn Fertilization
Weed Man's slow-release granular fertilizer is custom-blended for your turf, promoting strong root development and vibrant green growth. Our programs deliver golf-course quality results while preventing weed infestations through dense, healthy grass coverage.
Weed Control
Customized programs target broadleaf weeds and invasive grasses using selective treatments that eliminate unwanted plants without harming your lawn. Technicians provide written advice and free follow-up treatments for problem areas.
Perimeter Pest Control
Outdoor-only treatments create a protective barrier around homes to prevent spiders, ants, ticks, and other pests from entering. Applications cover landscape beds, decks, and entry points with a service guarantee for reduced pest populations.
Mosquito Control
Sub-brand Mosquito Hero applies targeted treatments to reduce mosquito populations by up to 90%. The service focuses on perimeter spraying and eliminating breeding grounds for lasting protection during outdoor activities.
Soil Revitalization
Liquid humic acid and natural microbe applications improve soil structure, nutrient availability, and pH balance. This foundational treatment enhances fertilizer effectiveness and promotes deeper root systems for drought-resistant lawns.
