I've used WeedX for a number of different services over the years. Mosquito control, pest control around the outside of house, etc. The services provided have always been great, the team is very responsive in emails, and have reduced the mosquitos/pests in and around my house. Thank you for the great service!

I had WeedX come out to help weed our gardens and do some preventative care. I ended up working with Jon. He was extremely polite, answered all of my questions and was incredibly patient with me. I will absolutely be using them again! Wish I had taken before and after pictures.

The landscape around our property was left untouched for over a year before we bought it and there was much work to be done on the landscaping area. After looking into a few other vendors, they were the most cost-effective option, did a great job, communications is timely and whenever there is an issue, the owner Ryon has no problem coming down to talk to you in person!

Great company who does great work. They've been taking care of the weeds in my lawn. I've used other companies in the past, but they haven't been as good as WeedX in controlling and preventing weeds.

I have been using Weed X services for a couple years now. Treatment packages are a good value. Had them do full perimeter pest control and clean up this fall. Got rid of any critters and webs hanging about. Great job!

How often should my lawn be fertilized?

Most lawns benefit from fertilization every 6 to 8 weeks during the growing season. However, the ideal schedule can vary based on your grass type, soil condition, and local climate.

Do you treat for other tree pests?

Yes, not only do we provide targeted treatments for emerald ash borer, aphids, bagworms, and other common pests in Pennsylvania. Our trunk injection treatments offer long-lasting protection against destructive insects.

Do I need to be home during the treatment?

No, you don't need to be home. We just need access to your lawn and any outdoor water sources. We'll leave detailed service notes and care instructions after each visit.

What kind of fertilizer do you use?

We use professional-grade, slow-release fertilizers tailored to the season and your lawn’s specific needs. Our blends promote long-lasting results while being safe for your lawn, family, and pets when used as directed.

How much does your tree and shrub care cost?

Pricing for tree and shrub care varies based on several factors, including the treatments you need, the size of your home, and current issues. Since every situation is unique, we provide custom quotes tailored to your needs. Just give us a call, and we’ll be happy to discuss your options and offer a personalized estimate!

What causes lawn diseases?

Lawn diseases are typically caused by fungal pathogens that thrive under certain environmental conditions. Factors like excessive moisture, poor air circulation, compacted soil, overwatering, drought stress, and improper mowing height can create the perfect environment for fungi to spread. Specific diseases tend to emerge during particular seasons—for example, brown patch often appears during hot, humid weather, while snow mold develops in cool, wet conditions. In many cases, a combination of poor lawn care practices and environmental stress makes your turf more vulnerable. That’s why regular lawn maintenance and early detection are key to keeping disease at bay.

Will fertilization get rid of weeds?

While fertilization promotes a thicker lawn that naturally crowds out weeds, we combine it with targeted weed control for best results. Fertilization alone won’t eliminate existing weeds!

How often do trees and shrubs need fertilization?

Most trees and shrubs benefit from seasonal fertilization treatments, typically 2-3 times per year. Our certified arborists create customized schedules based on your specific plants and local soil conditions.

Will I need multiple treatments?

In some cases, yes. Severe or recurring issues might require a treatment plan to fully eliminate the disease and restore your lawn’s health.

How do I know if my lawn needs professional care?

Every lawn can benefit from ongoing care, regardless of its current condition. Professional lawn care helps maintain a healthy, lush lawn, prevents common issues like weeds or pests, and improves overall appearance. Even if your lawn seems fine, regular maintenance can keep it thriving year-round. If you’re noticing signs like uneven growth, thinning grass, brown patches, or insect problems, it may be time for professional care to get your lawn back in top shape.

Is there anything I will need to do to ensure results of my tree & shrub care program?

Yes. While our services will significantly improve your tree and shrubs' overall health and appearance, regular watering, proper drainage, and weed suppression are also essential to maximize the benefits. Our service should be part of your regimen - but not the only thing!

Do I need multiple weed control treatments?

Yes. Weeds grow in cycles, so a single treatment will almost never be enough to eliminate weeds for good. We recommend a season-long weed control program for ongoing prevention and management.

How do I prepare my landscape for a treatment?

There’s no need to prepare your landscape for treatment! However, you will likely need to water your lawn or landscape after the treatment to help the products work effectively and ensure results.

What tree and shrub care treatments do you provide?

We offer a variety of services to keep your trees and shrubs healthy year-round, including seasonal fertilization, disease diagnosis and treatment, protection from damaging pests and more depending on the needs of your landscape. Our goal is to strengthen your trees and shrubs from the roots up, so they stay vibrant, resilient, and beautiful in every season. 

We do NOT offer tree or shrub watering, trimming, pruning, or removal.

How long does it take to see results from weed treatments?

You may see visible results within 7–14 days of treatment, but some stubborn weeds may require follow-up applications. Regular treatments throughout the season ensure the best long-term results.

Is there anything I will need to do to ensure results of my lawn care program?

Yes. While our fertilization, weed control, and disease prevention treatments will significantly improve your lawn’s overall health and appearance, regular mowing and watering - as well as proper drainage - are essential to maximize the benefits. Mowing helps keep your lawn at an optimal height, and consistent watering ensures your grass gets the moisture it needs to thrive. Drainage in your yard is also important as poor drainage can cause turf diseases. All this to say, our lawn care service should be part of your lawn regimen - but not the only thing!

Are your treatments safe for kids and pets?

Yes, of course! Your safety is our top priority. We use products and application methods that are designed to be effective and produce results, while also being safe for humans, pets, and the environment when used as directed. Our technicians are trained to apply treatments with care and responsibility.

What else can I do to prevent weeds?

A healthy, thick lawn is your best defense against weeds. Regular mowing, watering, and fertilization—combined with professional weed control—can drastically reduce weed growth over time.

What types of lawn care services do you offer?

Our lawn care services are focused on improving the health of your lawn rather than just its appearance. We offer recurring services like fertilization, weed control, and disease prevention to promote a healthy, vibrant lawn throughout the year. However, we do not provide mowing services as part of our offerings. Our goal is to ensure your lawn is strong, resilient, and well-nourished.

Can flea and tick treatment eliminate fleas and ticks immediately?

You should notice a reduction in flea and tick activity within 24–48 hours after the initial treatment. Full effectiveness builds over time as the product continues to work on fleas and ticks at various stages of their life cycle.

What types of weeds do you treat?

We target a wide variety of common lawn weeds, including dandelions, crabgrass, clover, nutsedge, and broadleaf weeds. Our technicians are trained to identify and treat both warm- and cool-season weeds specific to your region.

Do I need to water my lawn after aeration and seeding?

Yes—consistent watering is one of the most important steps after aeration and seeding. Once the seed is down, it needs moisture to germinate and develop healthy roots. Here's what we typically recommend:

  • Immediately after seeding: Lightly water the entire lawn to settle the seed into the soil and moisten the surface.
  • Weeks 1–2: Water lightly once or twice a day, keeping the top inch of soil consistently damp—but not soaked. The goal is to keep the seed moist without causing runoff or puddles.
  • Weeks 3–4: As the grass begins to sprout and grow, gradually reduce watering frequency but increase the amount of water per session. This encourages deeper root development.
  • After 4 weeks: Watering can typically return to a regular lawn schedule (about 1 inch of water per week, including rainfall), depending on weather and grass type.

Skipping or inconsistent watering can lead to poor germination and patchy results, so staying on top of it—especially in the first few weeks—is key to a lush, healthy lawn.

Do I need to treat both my yard and my pets for fleas and ticks?

Yes, treating both your yard and your pets is the most effective way to control fleas and ticks. While yard treatments eliminate fleas and ticks in the environment, treating your pets directly ensures that they don’t bring new pests back into your yard.

Will the weeds come back?

Weed seeds can remain dormant in your soil, and new ones can blow in from surrounding areas. That’s why ongoing treatments and proper lawn maintenance (like mowing and fertilization) are key to keeping weeds under control.

How often should I aerate my lawn?

Most lawns benefit from aeration once a year, especially if they experience heavy foot traffic, clay soil, or signs of compaction or thinning.

What attracts fleas and ticks to my yard?

For Fleas:

  • Pets: Fleas are most commonly introduced into yards by pets, especially cats and dogs. Fleas latch onto pets when they go outdoors and then spread to the surrounding areas.
  • Warm, Moist Areas: Fleas thrive in warm, moist environments, so areas like shaded spots, grassy areas, and areas with heavy leaf cover or mulch can be perfect places for fleas to hide and breed.
  • Wild Animals: Fleas can also be carried by wild animals like squirrels, raccoons, and rodents. These animals can bring fleas into your yard, where they’ll continue to breed and spread.

For Ticks:

  • Tall Grass and Vegetation: Ticks tend to live in tall grass, brush, and wooded areas where they can easily latch onto passing hosts (such as pets or people). They’re most active in shady, moist areas, especially along the edges of forests or wooded borders of your yard.
  • Rodents and Wildlife: Ticks are often carried by wildlife such as deer, mice, and birds. These animals can introduce ticks into your yard, which will then seek out a host to attach to.
  • Moist, Humid Conditions: Like fleas, ticks thrive in areas with high humidity, especially during the spring, summer, and fall months when the weather is warmer and wetter.

By keeping your yard well-maintained—mowing regularly, removing excess brush, and trimming back vegetation—you can reduce the conditions that attract both fleas and ticks. Additionally, keeping pets on flea and tick prevention and addressing any rodent or wildlife issues can further help limit these pests.

Should I aerate before seeding my lawn?

Yes, aerating before seeding is one of the best ways to ensure successful seed germination. Aeration loosens compacted soil and creates small holes or “pockets” that give new grass seed direct contact with the soil—this improves seed-to-soil contact, which is essential for healthy growth. It also allows water, air, and nutrients to reach the root zone more easily, helping both existing and new grass develop strong roots. When paired together, aeration and seeding work hand-in-hand to create a thicker, healthier, and more resilient lawn.

How long does it take to see results after treatment?

You can typically expect to see improvement within 7-14 days, with full results becoming visible in 3-4 weeks. Some severe cases may require a follow-up treatment. Weather conditions and the type of grass can affect recovery time.

Can I mow right after a fertilization treatment?

We recommend waiting at least 24–48 hours and watering your lawn before mowing after a fertilization treatment. This gives the product time to activate and absorb properly.

When is the best time to aerate and seed my lawn?

The best time to aerate and seed your lawn depends on the type of grass you have. Seeding outside of these windows can lead to poor germination or weak root development, especially if temperatures are too hot or too cold. For the best results, we also recommend pairing aeration and seeding with proper watering and fertilization tailored to your grass type.

For cool-season grasses (like fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and ryegrass), the ideal time is early fall (September to October). The soil is still warm, but the air is cooler—perfect conditions for seed germination and root development. Spring (March to early May) is also a viable option, though fall typically yields better long-term results. For warm-season grasses (like Bermuda, zoysia, and centipede grass), the best time is late spring to early summer (May to June), when these grasses are actively growing. Aerating and seeding during this time gives new grass the full growing season to establish.

How often will my lawn need disease treatments?

Most lawns benefit from 2-3 preventative treatments per year, typically in spring, mid-summer, and fall. Lawns with recurring issues may need additional spot treatments. We'll create a customized schedule based on your lawn's specific needs.
