What we treat

Florida lawns have Florida problems.

Chinch bugs, sod webworms, brown patch and nutsedge behave differently here than they do anywhere else. Everything below is treated for this climate.

Lawn pest control

Chinch bugs, sod webworms, army worms and grubs are what take a Florida lawn down fastest. We treat the pests that actually live in this soil.

Fertilization

A feeding schedule built for Polk County turf and our growing season, so the color holds through summer heat and comes back after a cold snap.

Weed control

Pre-emergent to stop weeds before they show, and post-emergent for what is already there. Timed to the season rather than sprayed on a whim.

Fungus and disease

Brown patch, dollar spot and take-all root rot thrive in our humidity. Caught early they are manageable, left alone they spread.

Shrub and ornamental

Scale, aphids, whitefly and mites on the plants around the house, treated without cooking the landscaping you paid for.

Outdoor pest

The perimeter work that keeps what is outside from deciding to come inside.

The year round program

A lawn is not a one time job.

Treating once and hoping is how lawns get lost. The program follows the season, so problems get headed off instead of chased.

Spring

Pre-emergent goes down, feeding starts, and we get ahead of the first chinch bug pressure before it builds.

Summer

Peak pest and peak fungus. Treatments tighten up and we watch the hot spots that show stress first.

Fall

Recovery feeding and a second pre-emergent so winter weeds never get a foothold.

Winter

Lighter touch. Dormant care, spot treatment, and planning the next season while the lawn rests.

Around here they know the name

Yikes! It's Sykes!

It started as a joke on a truck and it stuck, because it is the part customers actually remember.

Behind it is the boring stuff that matters: showing up when we said, treating what actually needs treating, and telling you straight when your lawn does not need a thing.
