The problem
Weeds Don't Take Days Off. Neither Does Attaboy.
If you live in Middle Georgia, you know the drill. Crabgrass in the summer. Henbit and chickweed in the winter. Dandelions, clover, and dollar weed filling in every bare spot they can find.
DIY weed killer from the hardware store might knock a few back, but they always come back. That's because most homeowners treat symptoms. We treat the root of the problem.

Our approach
Two-Phase Weed Control That Covers Every Season
Pre-Emergent Treatments
Applied at the right time, pre-emergent herbicides create a barrier in your soil that stops weed seeds from germinating. We track soil temperatures and seasonal patterns in Middle Georgia to nail the application window.
Post-Emergent Treatments
For weeds that are already growing, we use targeted post-emergent herbicides that kill the weed without damaging your grass. We select products based on the specific weeds in your yard and your grass type.

| Pre-Emergent | Post-Emergent | |

| How it works | Creates a barrier in the soil that stops germination | Absorbed by leaves; translocates to roots |

Common questions
Weed Control FAQ
How long does it take to see results?
Most broadleaf weeds yellow and wilt within the first month. Bare spots fill in over months 2-4 as new weed growth slows. By month 6+ your lawn is noticeably cleaner. Some stubborn weeds like nutsedge may take 2-3 treatments to fully eliminate.
Will weed killer damage my grass?
No. We use selective herbicides matched to your grass type. The treatment targets weeds while leaving your turf unharmed.
How often do you treat for weeds?
We treat for weeds on basically every visit — as many as 8 times per year using a combination of pre-emergent, post-emergent, and spot treatments depending on the season.
Can I do anything between treatments?
The best thing you can do is keep your grass healthy. Proper mowing height and watering help your lawn compete with weeds naturally. We’ll give you tips specific to your grass type.
Is weed control safe for my kids and pets?
Yes. Every product we use is safe for kids and pets once dry, usually about 30 minutes after application.
