Most lawns in central Washington benefit from 4-6 applications per year, timed with the growing season. Our programs include spring feeding for green-up, summer treatments for heat stress, and fall applications for root development.

We recommend scheduling installation in early to mid-November to ensure availability during our busiest season. Early scheduling allows you to enjoy your display throughout the entire holiday season.

Hydroseeding is a planting process that sprays a mixture of seed, mulch, fertilizer, and water onto prepared soil. It's faster and more cost-effective than sod, provides excellent seed-to-soil contact, and typically results in thick, healthy grass growth.

Signs include uneven watering patterns, brown spots in your lawn, unusually high water bills, visible leaks or puddles, and sprinkler heads that won't pop up or retract. We offer free system evaluations to identify any issues.

Most lawns benefit from weekly mowing during the growing season. However, the ideal frequency depends on grass type, weather conditions, and growth rate. We'll create a customized mowing schedule for your lawn's specific needs.

Noxious weeds are invasive plants designated by law as harmful to agriculture, environment, or public health. They spread aggressively, crowd out native plants, reduce property values, and can result in fines if left untreated on your property.

Warning signs include discolored or spotted leaves, stunted growth, wilting despite adequate water, visible pests or webbing, and dying branches. Our certified specialists can diagnose problems and recommend effective treatments.

Timing depends on the plant species. Most trees benefit from dormant season pruning (late winter/early spring), while spring-flowering shrubs should be pruned after blooming. We schedule pruning at the optimal time for each plant type.

Look for droppings, gnaw marks on plants or structures, burrow holes in your yard, damaged plants or bulbs, and visible rodent runways in grass. Early intervention prevents population growth and extensive damage to your landscape.

We provide comprehensive winter services including snow removal, ice management, winter pruning, and plant protection. Our team monitors weather conditions to ensure your property stays safe and accessible throughout the winter months.

Yes, we use EPA-approved products and follow all safety guidelines. We recommend keeping pets and children off treated areas until the application dries (typically 2-4 hours).

We provide all lights and equipment as part of our service. We use commercial-grade LED lights that are brighter, more durable, and more energy-efficient than standard consumer lights.

Grass typically germinates within 7-14 days. You can walk lightly on the lawn after 3-4 weeks, but should wait 6-8 weeks before heavy use or mowing. Proper watering during establishment is crucial for success.

In central Washington, early October is typically ideal—before the first hard freeze. We monitor weather forecasts and contact our maintenance customers when it's time. This prevents costly freeze damage to pipes and components.

Project timelines vary based on size and complexity. Small garden installations may take 1-2 days, while comprehensive landscape renovations can take several weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during the planning phase.

For cool-season grasses common in central Washington, fall is ideal (September-October). Spring (April-May) is also effective. We do aerate in the summer to help get water into the soil, which is especially beneficial during hot, dry periods.

Common noxious weeds in our area include knapweed, Canada thistle, field bindweed, puncturevine, and rush skeletonweed. Each requires specific treatment methods for effective control. We're familiar with all locally designated noxious weeds.

Our comprehensive program includes regular inspections, disease diagnosis and treatment, insect and pest management, nutritional assessments and fertilization, and preventive treatments. We customize programs based on your specific plants and landscape conditions.

Generally, no more than 25-30% of a plant's canopy should be removed in a single season. Over-pruning can stress plants and reduce flowering. Our certified specialists follow proper pruning techniques to maintain plant health and appearance.

Yes, we use targeted methods and can provide pet-safe options. We'll discuss your specific concerns and design a rodent control program that's effective while ensuring the safety of your pets and family.

Yes, we provide priority snow removal services during heavy snowfall events. Our team works around the clock during winter storms to keep your property accessible and safe for residents, employees, and customers.

Most broadleaf weeds begin to show signs of decline within 7-14 days of treatment. Complete control typically takes 2-3 weeks. Persistent weeds may require multiple treatments, which are included in our program.

Our commercial-grade LED lights are highly reliable. For new purchases and installations, we provide maintenance visits to fix any problems at no extra charge within the first year. For older light setups, we stock all parts for repairs for a fee.

Hydroseeding is more affordable, allows for custom seed blends suited to your conditions, and develops deeper root systems. Sod provides instant results but is more expensive. We'll help you choose the best option for your needs and budget.

Yes, we install and program smart irrigation controllers that adjust watering based on weather conditions, soil moisture, and plant needs. These systems can reduce water usage by up to 30% while keeping your landscape healthy.

Absolutely. We can enhance and integrate with your existing plants and features, or start fresh if that better suits your goals. We'll evaluate what's working well and what could be improved.

We focus on providing effective, science-based lawn care programs tailored to central Washington's climate. While we don't offer organic weed control, we use safe, targeted treatments that are effective and environmentally responsible.

Most noxious weeds require 2-3 treatments per year for several years to achieve complete control. Treatment timing is critical and varies by weed species. We create customized control plans with scheduled treatments for effective, long-term results.

Yes, we use targeted treatments that minimize impact on beneficial insects like bees and butterflies. We employ integrated pest management techniques and can provide organic options that protect pollinators while controlling harmful pests.

Yes, complete cleanup and debris removal is included in all our pruning services. We'll haul away all branches, twigs, and leaves, leaving your property clean and tidy.

Initial results are often seen within 1-2 weeks, but complete control typically takes 4-6 weeks depending on population size. Ongoing monitoring and prevention strategies help keep rodents from returning to your property.

We use environmentally responsible ice melting products that are effective in cold temperatures while being safer for plants, concrete, and waterways. We can also provide eco-friendly options upon request.

Our comprehensive lawn care includes professional mowing, edging, trimming, aeration, overseeding, dethatching, and seasonal treatments. We customize each program based on your lawn's condition and your goals.

We offer low-impact options for many of our services including lawn fertilization and pest management. During your consultation, let us know if you prefer environmentally gentle approaches, and we'll discuss options that meet your preferences.

In central Washington, late October to early November is ideal—before the first hard freeze. We monitor weather forecasts and contact maintenance customers when it's time. Winterization is essential to prevent freeze damage to your irrigation system. Don't wait for the first freeze; by then it may be too late.

Aeration loosens compacted soil, allowing water, air, and nutrients to penetrate to grass roots. Over time, soil becomes compacted from foot traffic and equipment, restricting root growth. Core aeration removes small plugs of soil, dramatically improving lawn health. We recommend annual aeration for most lawns, typically in spring or fall.

Fertilization provides nutrients that grass needs to grow healthy and strong. Weed control eliminates existing weeds and prevents new ones from germinating. While they're separate treatments, they work together—a thick, healthy, well-fertilized lawn naturally resists weed invasion by leaving no room for weeds to establish. We offer comprehensive programs that include both.
