 "Need to stop weeds in St. George? 🌿🚫 We offer powerful weed control to prevent and kill unwanted growth in your lawn and landscape. Our treatments target stubborn weeds and keep them from coming back. 

Keeping your property weed-free requires both pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides, but they work in very different ways. Here’s what you need to know:

Pre-emergent herbicides stop weeds before they sprout by creating an invisible barrier in the soil. When weed seeds begin to germinate, the pre-emergent blocks their growth, preventing them from ever breaking through the surface.

🔹 Think of it like sunscreen for your yard—it protects against weeds before they appear, but it wears off over time and must be reapplied regularly.

Post-emergent herbicides kill existing weeds that are already growing. These treatments target weeds after they have sprouted, attacking the leaves and roots to stop further spread.

🔹 Think of it like weed medicine—it treats the weeds you can already see but won’t prevent new ones from growing.

Pre-emergent does not last forever. It breaks down over time due to sun, water, and soil conditions, so it must be reapplied regularly to keep working effectively. If you miss an application, new weeds will have a chance to grow.

To ensure continuous protection, we apply pre-emergent on the following schedule:
✔ Every 2 months in turf grass (lawns)
✔ Every 4 months in landscaped areas without grass (planter beds, gravel areas, etc.)
✔ Every 3 months on vacant lots

By staying on schedule, we keep weeds under control year-round and prevent new infestations before they start.

 Our specialized fertilizer keeps your trees, shrubs, and turf grass thriving year-round. Packed with essential nutrients, chelated iron, and humic acid, it’s designed for Utah’s soil conditions. Give your plants the boost they need—call today to order or schedule an application!"

Is your lawn thin, patchy, or struggling to grow? Slit seeding (also called slice seeding) is the most effective way to thicken turf, repair bare spots, and improve overall lawn health. Unlike traditional overseeding, slit seeding creates small grooves in the soil, ensuring better seed-to-soil contact for stronger, faster germination.

✅ Fills in thin or bare patches for a lush, even lawn
✅ Stronger seed-to-soil contact for higher germination rates
✅ Improves turf density to naturally crowd out weeds
✅ Boosts drought resistance, keeping grass healthier in hot climates
✅ Best paired with aeration for optimal results

🌱 Early fall or spring for the best germination and growth
🌿 Pair with fertilization to maximize results

We offer professional slit seeding, overseeding, and lawn repair services in St. George, UT. Call today to schedule your lawn restoration treatment! 🌱✨

Is your lawn looking dry, patchy, or struggling to grow? Lawn aeration is the key to a healthier, greener lawn! Over time, compacted soil blocks water, air, and nutrients from reaching grass roots. Aeration loosens the soil, allowing your turf to absorb everything it needs to thrive.

✅ Relieves soil compaction for stronger root growth
✅ Improves water absorption, reducing runoff & dry spots
✅ Boosts fertilizer effectiveness for greener, healthier grass
✅ Reduces thatch buildup and prevents lawn diseases
✅ Encourages thicker turf to crowd out weeds

🌱 Best done in spring or fall when the grass is actively growing
🚜 Pair with overseeding for a fuller, healthier lawn

Weeds thrive in Southern Utah’s dry climate and alkaline soil, making it tough to keep your lawn weed-free. The best way to control weeds in St. George is with a combination of pre-emergent treatments, post-emergent weed control, and proper lawn care.

✔ Pop-up spray heads: 12 to 18 minutes per day (6 to 9 minutes in the morning, 6 to 9 minutes in the evening)

✔ Rotary sprinkler heads: 36 minutes per day (18 minutes in the morning, 18 minutes in the evening)

✔ Drip emitters: 46 minutes per day (23 minutes in the morning, 23 minutes in the evening) – equivalent to 1 gallon per plant per watering

✔ Spring: 3 times per week, lawn and drip

✔ Summer: 5 times per week, lawn and drip

✔ Fall: 3 times per week, lawn and drip

✔ Winter: 1 time per week, lawn and drip

✔ If a client chooses to water every other day in summer, increase watering time per station by 35%.

✔ Maintain Summer Station Run Times: The established summer watering durations for turf grass and drip irrigation should never change. Only the number of watering days should be adjusted seasonally to match weather conditions.

✔ Sprinkler Spacing Varies: Most lawns are not watered on a perfect grid due to irregular sprinkler placement. Some fine-tuning may be needed, especially in summer.

✔ Adjust Days, Not Duration: The key to effective watering is keeping the summer-established run times the same while adjusting the number of watering days based on the season.

✔ Winter Adjustments for Freezing Conditions: The only time water start times should be changed is when there is a risk of water turning to ice on concrete or hardscape surfaces. This ensures the established summer watering durations remain intact and do not need to be recalculated each year.

Note:  Every year clients turn the sprinkler timer "off" when it rains and forget to turn it back on and damage to lawn, trees and shrubs occur.  Each timer has a rain delay selection.  Choose this option instead of turning the sprinkler timer off.
