Full-Service Lawn Care in Cary & Apex NC

Most Requested

What a full-service plan actually covers

Most lawn problems in the Triangle are not mowing problems. A lawn can be cut perfectly every week and still thin out, because the things that actually drive turf density — soil compaction, fertility timing, weed pressure and disease — are not addressed by a mower.

Our full-service plan is built around that. Mowing is included during the growing season, but the core of the program is the fertilization schedule, pre- and post-emergent weed control, core aeration and overseeding, bed weed suppression, quarterly pruning and fall cleanup. Timing varies by grass type and season — a tall fescue lawn and a bermuda lawn want nearly opposite calendars.

If you only want the grass cut, we will say so plainly and point you at a mow-only service. The full-service plan is for homeowners who want the lawn to change, not just stay trimmed.

Mowing keeps a lawn tidy. Everything else is what makes it thick.

What's Included

Fertilization program — A structured, multi-step program that feeds turf through the growing season instead of one-off spot treatments.

Turf weed control — Pre-emergent to stop weed seed before it germinates, post-emergent for what is already up.

Weed control for beds — Planting-bed weed suppression, so the beds do not undo the work done on the turf.

Aeration and overseeding — Core aeration to relieve compacted Piedmont clay and open the root zone, followed by seed into the holes.

Seasonal mowing — Mowing through the growing season at the height your grass type actually wants.

Quarterly shrub pruning — Keeps hedges, foundation plantings and bed borders tidy rather than letting them run for a year.

Fall leaf removal — Under the oak and pine canopy common across Apex and Cary, leaf load is heavy enough to smother turf going into winter.

Fungicide, grub and armyworm control — Available as add-on treatments when disease or insect pressure calls for them.

Our process

How the season runs

Timing shifts with your grass type — this is the general shape of a year.

Early season Application

Pre-emergent goes down before soil temperatures bring up crabgrass and summer annuals, and the first feeding of the year is timed to the grass type rather than the calendar.

Growing season Application

Mowing at the right height, post-emergent for breakthrough weeds, and bed weed control. On fescue we are careful with nitrogen through the heat — summer nitrogen on fescue encourages brown patch rather than growth.

Late summer Application

Disease and insect pressure peak. Fungicide, grub and armyworm treatments are available as add-ons when a lawn needs them, rather than applied to every property by default.

Fall Application

The most important window of the year for a fescue lawn — core aeration and overseeding, NC State Extension puts the Piedmont target between mid-September and early October. Leaf removal follows as the canopy drops.

Frequently asked questions

Full-Service Lawn Care FAQs

Is this just mowing?

No. Mowing is part of the full-service plan, but the focus is turf health — fertilization, weed control, aeration, seeding, bed weed control, pruning and seasonal cleanup. A mow-only service cuts what is already there; a full-service plan is what actually changes how the lawn looks.

What is the difference between your full-service plan and mow-only?

Mow-only is exactly that: cut, trim, blow. The full-service plan adds the fertilization program, pre- and post-emergent weed control, bed weed suppression, core aeration and overseeding, quarterly shrub pruning and fall leaf removal. Most of the visible difference in a lawn comes from the items that are not mowing.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

Call us and ask — we will tell you exactly how scheduling and billing work for your property before you commit to anything. We would rather explain it up front than have you find out later.
