Why All Lawn, Tree & Shrub Care Services Are Not Alike

Garden gnomes love beautiful green lawns and gardens. That’s why they love Arbor-Nomics. If you’re unhappy with your current lawn care service or are seeking lawn care services for the first time, please give Arbor-Nomics a try. Once you do, we think you’ll agree with the gnomes.

When you entrust your lawn care to us, you’ll have the attention of your very own Certified Landscape Specialist, who can provide you with a full range of service options using only the highest quality materials. The result will be a lawn and garden that are weed free, low on pesky bugs, and healthy, green and beautiful. The gnomes will notice the difference, and so will you!

Choosing a Lawn Care Service That’s Right for You

Every summer, we hear from homeowners who have tried other lawn maintenance services and have not been happy with the results. With so many to choose from, how do you know which one can provide the quality results you seek?

Unfortunately, many so-called lawn care professionals are just a guy with a truck and a tank of chemicals. Many of the larger companies, though they may have a licensed specialist on staff, give their technicians only two or three days of training before sending them out to learn by trial and error – on your property.

Inexperienced workers can cause severe lawn damage. They may overuse fertilizers or pesticides or choose the wrong one for the job. They might misdiagnose your problem entirely and shock your grass with fertilizer when the real problem is too much shade or the need for soil aeration.

Perhaps the biggest harm these untrained lawn care technicians do is to customers' trust. With little real knowledge of agronomy, they make over-the-top promises that they can't fulfill. Frequently, our customers tell us they didn't believe any lawn treatment could save their yard – until they tried us. That's because at Arbor-Nomics, we take a different approach.

What We Do Differently

We've made a commitment to outperform at every level and do three very important things differently:

• Training and dedication [READ MORE]:
  

  Unlike other lawn care companies, we don't just give new technicians a day or two of training. We give them a month or more of training before we send them out on their own truck to take responsibility for someone’s lawn. Every new technician, regardless of experience, is apprenticed over the course of numerous jobs.

  Only when they have passed rigorous training and testing do we call them Certified Landscape Specialists (CLSs). And only then do we assign one of them to be your very own dedicated CLS, who cares for your property time after time and gets to know you — and your property — personally. If your current lawn care service sends you a different technician for every treatment, you may have discovered why you’re disappointed in the results.

• State certification [READ MORE]:
  

  The State of Georgia offers training and certification in pesticide applications. Though Georgia doesn’t require lawn care technicians to have State Pesticide Certification, we do. As a result, every Arbor-Nomics CLS knows how to handle and apply pesticides correctly and safely. We consider this so important that we pay for their training and testing and give them a bonus when they pass. When considering a new lawn care service, be sure to ask about their technicians’ state certification.

• Realistic lawn, tree and shrub analyses [READ MORE]:
  

  We believe in our techniques and our products, but we also understand the science behind them. That’s why we provide a full lawn, tree and shrub analysis before recommending a course of treatment. If, for example, we see excessive shade or a lay of the land that will make a section of your lawn unresponsive to our treatments, we will tell you up front. We never promise a result we can't deliver.

  Behind our work is a commitment to personal service you won't find anywhere else. Your CLS will leave you written notes after every treatment, detailing what he did and why. He’ll answer your questions, make recommendations and treat your yard like his own. And if you spot a problem in between scheduled treatments, our service calls are totally free with all three of our service programs.

Gnomes appreciate the difference – and so will you.

Special Problems, Special Services

Our lawn care services go far beyond simply making the grass grow. We also offer:

• Outdoor Pest Control [READ MORE]:
  

  Are you battling fire ants, ticks, fleas, spiders or other persistent pests? Even if you aren’t right now, you eventually will, and we can help. We can spray to control a wide variety of bugs and insects, including some of the most aggressive ones. We can even control fire ants for a full year. Both our Gold and Platinum Programs include this valuable service at no extra charge.

• Fungicide Treatment [READ MORE]:
  

  Does your lawn have brown patches? People often mistake fungal disease damage for drought and start watering more, which only makes the fungal problem worse. We can treat and control fungi during the warm season so diseases don’t spread and become a major problem for you.

• Tree and Shrub Insect Control [READ MORE]:
  

  Ornamental trees and shrubs are often sensitive cultivars that are vulnerable to parasites, insect damage and disease. Our tree and shrub service is a set of seven treatments spread over the year to protect your property's most beautiful assets from insect damage and disease, make them more resistant to drought and strengthen their color.

• Soil Aeration and Overseeding [READ MORE]:
  

  We have several services that depend on the type of grass you have. For example, if you have a warm season grass, like Bermuda, we can aerate the soil early in the growing season to improve drainage and absorption of nutrients. For cool season grasses, like fescue, we can lay down extra seed over your lawn in the fall to make sure you always have thick, even green coverage.
