Coreless Aeration

What do we do?

We apply a granular coreless aeration treatment that opens compacted soil. No plugs, no flags, no marked heads, and nothing to rake up afterward.
‍

How often do we come?

Once a year in fall, the make-or-break window for Charlotte fescue.
‍

Why is our solution better?

Piedmont clay suffocates roots when compacted. Coreless aeration loosens it without the mess of core pulling.

Biology-Driven Soil Recovery

What do we do?

We deliver soil biology into the root zone to feed microbes and sustain the aeration effect.

Applied once yearly alongside aeration.

Why is our solution better?

Clay holds nutrients but chokes roots. Restoring biology is what makes fall aeration actually hold through the year.

Better Water and Nutrient Uptake

What do we do?

We open the clay so water, air, and nutrients move down into the root zone instead of running off the surface.

How often do we come?

Once yearly, applied with your aeration treatment.

Why is our solution better?

Compacted Charlotte clay sheds water. Most of what you pay for in fertilizer never reaches the roots until the soil structure changes.

Our Commitment

Built for Piedmont clay

Charlotte's Piedmont clay holds nutrients but chokes roots. Our program works on the soil structure itself rather than just feeding the grass on top of it, so every application after this one works harder.

General
Questions

Is the treatment safe for kids and pets?

Yes, our treatments are kid-friendly and pet-friendly once dry, as we use a low-toxicity solution designed to minimize risk to your family and the environment.

Will the treatment harm bees, butterflies, or other beneficial insects?

No, our treatments are designed to be pollinator-friendly. We use low-toxicity, eco-friendly solutions that target mosquitoes while minimizing risk to beneficial insects like bees and butterflies.

How soon will I see results?

You will notice an immediate difference after the first treatment, with mosquitoes being killed on contact.

What if mosquitoes return between my scheduled visits?

We offer a no-contract promise. If you notice increased activity before your next service, just let us know and we will return to re-treat your yard at no additional cost.

Do I need to be home during the treatment?

Only if you've asked us to treat inside your home. Most household pest control actually occurs around the perimeter of your home, but if you are noticing any issues inside your home we are happy to inspect and treat as needed. If you've requested an interior treatment, we'll confirm scheduling with you to ensure someone is home for our service.

How is Backyard Care different from national pest control chains?

Local teams provide faster response times, direct communication, and treatments tailored to specific regional pest patterns.

When does your service season run?

Most of our services run spring through fall, with year-round options available. We'll recommend a schedule based on your property and the services you choose.

Can I bundle multiple services together?

Absolutely. Many homeowners combine mosquito control, lawn fertilization, and exterior pest control into one plan. Bundling keeps your whole yard protected and is often the best value.
