Fire Ants vs. Red Ants: How to Tell the Difference

We know Texas lawns better than anyone. Our team has decades of experience handling everything from core aeration to mowing.
Some of the most common problems we see include:
Pre-emergent weeds, fungus, pests, compaction and fungal disease are all serious issues Texas homeowners face.
A simple change in your watering habits, such as watering early in the morning, can help with fungal disease.
Keep your property looking its best with our reliable mowing, trimming, and maintenance services in Frisco, TX, and the surrounding areas.
Want more information about our services? Read all about them below:
Lawn Mowing: Our service spans from March to mid-November. We offer string-trimming, edging and debris removal services, too. Normal schedules include bi-weekly mowing and then weekly visits when growth rates increase. We switch back to a slower mowing schedule in October.
Trimming & Pruning: Keep your plants and trees manicured. Regular maintenance stops disease and insects from spreading. One-off and scheduled services are available.
Mulch Installation: Fresh mulching will do your lawn and landscaping good. We apply a layer of mulch to your landscaping, including cedar, hardwoods and other varieties. Black and red options are available and annual application in the spring is the most common.
Leaf Removal: Let us clear the leaves from your yard this fall. We use leaf blowers and tarps to gather them up, move them to the curb, then bring our vacuum truck by to haul them off for good.
Yard Cleanups: Overgrown hedges or shrubs? We’ll trim them down and leave your space looking freshly manicured. Our yard cleanup service provides the TLC you need by removing weeds and debris from your landscape. We promise you that there will be no debris left in sight when we’re done.
Annual Flowers: Add seasonal colors to your landscaping and watch as your space begins to “pop.” Annuals are installed in the spring and fall, with our professionals making selections that match the growing season. We’ll also fill your space with compost to encourage new plant growth. Before we leave, we’ll discuss care measures with you.
Irrigation Repair: System not working properly? We’ll send one of our licensed technicians to diagnose the problem and make repairs for you. Your lawn will have the water it needs to grow lush once your service call ends. All services come with a full warranty for one year (including parts and labor).
