The Base - $400
Perfect for homeowners who want a greener lawn and reliable weed control

Goes down roughly one month after the spring fertilizer - this is the highlight of the programs. It’s a premium slow release fertilizer that lasts 8-10 weeks.

The Base: A Solid Start for a Healthier Lawn

Real Lawn Care Results
The Alpine: Elevate Your Lawn’s Health
With The Alpine program, we eliminated weeds and nourished the grass while also introducing humic acid to enhance soil structure, improve nutrient absorption, and promote long-term vitality. The result? A thicker, healthier, and more resilient lawn with a deeper green color.
This lawn started with almost no grass, overrun by weeds due to poor soil conditions. In just six weeks, The Alpine program transformed it into a lush, thriving lawn - all through expert care and the right treatments.
The Summit: Ultimate Lawn Resilience
With The Summit program, we took lawn care to the next level by combining the power of The Alpine program with Drought Defense Treatments - a professional-grade wetting agent designed to improve water retention and efficiency. This not only enhances soil hydration but also reduces overall water usage, keeping the lawn healthier and greener, even in dry conditions.

We use high-quality slow-release fertilizer and time our applications properly, so your lawn gets what it needs without unnecessary visits or constant top-ups.

Yes, watering is an important part of getting the best results from the program. After each visit, we’ll let you know exactly what to do based on the treatment that was applied.
What weeds do you control?
Our weed control targets common broadleaf weeds such as dandelions, clover, and thistle while leaving the grass unaffected.
