Pre-Emergent / Weed Kill
Tired of pulling weeds out of your desert landscape and planter areas? We provide a Pre Emergent / Weed Kill three times a year. The Pre Emergence helps prevent weed seeds from germinating and the weed kill gets those that may have gotten through. Eventually you will not have weeds where you don't want them. We can do this along with your lawn spray.
Grubs attacking your lawn?
We can help prevent this from happening.
Grub Damage
If you can pull your lawn up like a carpet that's a sure sign you have a grub problem and you'll be able to see the grubs at work.
Sod Web Worm Moth
They fly close to the ground. The moths are the adult stage of sod webworms. While the worms themselves can be destructive to your lawn, it’s the adults that are just plain annoying as they stir up and fly close to the ground every time you walk around.
Sod Web Worm Damage
Damage caused by sod webworms may first appear in early spring as small dead patches of grass among healthy turf areas. As summer progresses, webworm infestation may cause general turf thinning or irregular dead patches in late June into early August. Sod webworms prefer sunny areas and the larvae are often found on south facing yards, where it is warm, sunny and dry. Heavily shaded turf is not often attacked by the larvae. Sod webworms feed by clipping leaf blades off close to the soil surface. Heavy feeding will cause irregular brown areas of grass stubble. The sod webworm larva, which is actually a caterpillar, can be difficult to find as it readily hides in thatch and debris. The adult, which does not feed, is a small tannish moth that will only fly a short distance when disturbed. At rest, the moths fold their wings back over their body and appear tubelike. Adult moths lay eggs by dropping them over the lawn. Our lawn sprays include an insect spray that will help prevent sod webworm damage to your lawn.
Sod Web Worm Repair
After one application to take care of the sod web worm damage this is what our customer's lawn looked like. He was so pleased. When he called us he thought his problem was grubs because that's what another company diagnosed it to be. They also treated it for grubs which did not work so frantically he called us. He was ready to tear up his lawn and start all over again. We saved him the trouble.
No sign of Sod Web Worm Damage
By the end of the summer this customer was sharing his excitement of a beautiful lawn with all of his neighbors. Funny thing though, his neighbor cut his lawn with an uneven lawn mower so he's got stripes all over his lawn this time.

Getting rid of undesirable grasses in your lawn.
A yard with lots of unwanted grasses. We did a selective weed kill on May 26, 2011.
After a couple of selective sprays this is what the lawn looks like. It's getting thick and filling in where the unwanted grass was.
