Fertilizer Shrub
How We Serve You
The soil problems we face here in Texas, including lack of real depth, makes it vital that your shrubs are fed on a regular basis. They simply will not thrive without help.
We have seen trees and ornamentals planted and never fed. 5 years later they look the same or worse. You need to feed, feed, feed. We use fertilizers that have been developed specifically for our Texas soils.
A healthy, well fed plant can take care of many insect and disease issues on its own, minimizing the amount of pesticides used on your property. This is where our eco-friendly approach starts.
Are you eco-friendly?
We do not advertise ourselves as an organic or eco-friendly company, but we are very conscious about what we use and how we use it. We use a lot of organic fertilizers in our lawn program along with organic soil conditioners. Our shrub program uses organic fertilizers. For our weed control in beds we use an organic product (an organic Roundup alternative). For lawns we practice CSC (Common Sense Controls) including spot treatments, smart products that don’t run off, and very well trained techs. We both have children and love the outdoors so we are very protective of it!
We also just focus on the Bermuda + Zoysia which is different. This allows us to be truly great on those grasses.
This company is about service and creating a great experience for the customer, not just making money. We have already founded other successful companies and do not need to rely solely on this one for income. That gives us the freedom to create the company we’ve always wanted. We can put time, all the knowledge we’ve accumulated, and care into what we are building. We can use the best products. We can really do things the right way!
How does your pricing compare to others in my area?
We have found that our pricing is very competitive for the area. We recommend calling around and getting proof for yourself. We are not the highest and we are not the lowest. For the service we give, you’ll find it to be an amazing deal.

How often do you treat my property?
It depends on the program you choose. For our turf only program it would be 8 visits (about every 6 weeks). For our Turf + Shrub plan and the Turf + Shrub + Flower Bed plan it would be 12 visit (monthly)

What are your favorite bands?
If you read our about us page you will know that we are a bit music obsessed. It has nothing to do with lawn care but we can’t help it. Here are some that we both agree on and love:
The Smiths, Radiohead, Brain Eno, John Prine, The Cure, The Beautiful South, Galaxy 500, The National, Iron & Wine, Coldplay, and Trashcan Sinatras, to name a few.
Two bands we cannot agree on:
The Beatles. John feels they are overrated. Ete agrees with that to some degree and concedes that some of their songs aren’t great, but he can also point to so many stunningly great songs (the majority), that he feels their reputation is deserved.
The Grateful Dead. This is one of John’s favorite bands, but Ete just hasn’t gotten into 25 min bass solos just yet.
