Next, we blend in multiple forms of reduced volatility and quality nitrogen for maximum dark green color, efficiency & duration. 

Immediately, our complex formulas will start working to neutralize the problematic imbalance of carbon to nitrogen ratio that may have been caused by national franchise applications performed on your yard in the past. Simultaneously, your property will be placed into our biological soils management program, a cornerstone of any professional lawn care service.

Custom West University Place Lawn Care

The Best West U Lawn Care Begins at the Root

Our soils program is part of our lawn fertilization & weed control program and puts a laser focus on breaking down salts & bicarbonate accumulations that are common for lawns in West University Place.

This increases microbial activity, lowers binding pH levels, and enriches your turf’s ecosystem to support the greenest, healthiest turf imaginable. Each one of our applications builds on the last. This is called “Stacking” and is the secret to an award-winning professional lawn care company program like ours. 

Weed Control Always Included.

Bye, Bye Weeds. 👋

Utilizing the industry’s very best pre-emergents, we start working on weed control before weeds ever happen. Here in West University Place, we have year-round weed pressure (unlike northern climates), so we spot-spray a professional blend of post-emergents for the few weeds that do wiggle through (Weed Killer).

Don’t wait; maximize the investment you’re making into your lawn care services with GreenGate Turf and start experiencing the very BEST lawn care you’ve ever had.

West University Place Soil

It’s no secret that West University Place and our surrounding neighborhoods have awful soils. Have you had lawn care services in the past but never got the results you paid for and couldn’t understand why?

Chances are, your lawn care provider never performed a soil test and analysis to identify problematic issues unique to your property. National chains and discount lawn fertilization & weed control companies don’t offer them because they are complicated to coordinate and require particular expertise. But the information they yield is priceless to the success of your lawn care services program. 

Free soil test

Did you know that soils in West University Place, Tx have an average Ph level of 7.09?!!

That’s really high! Ideally, that number should be around 6 for southern grasses like ours. High pH levels lock up nutrients, making them unavailable to the roots of your turf. This typically reveals itself as a “yellowing of the grass blades, ” poor health, and thin areas.

We often see newer homes using Bermuda grass (Bermuda requires less water), while established homes utilize St Augustine grass. GreenGate performs a free soil test on the very first visit for all of our first-time customers, which gives us actionable data points for your custom lawn care program.

Lawn Care Service & lawn fertilization faq

What specific treatments are included in the 8-step fertilization program?

Each of our 8 visits includes season-specific treatments for your lawn. This includes pre and post-emergents, natural carbon-based fertilizers, and turf root stimulators.

What kind of fertilizers do you use?

We use a hybrid combination of Bio-nutritional, synthetic, and carbon-based products. This combination contains all the essential nutrients required to feed your turf.

 Is weed control included in my fertilization treatments?

Yes! We apply pre-emergents in the months leading up to the prime growing season to keep weeds from germinating. Post-emergents (weed killer) is spot sprayed to kill-off any existing weeds or weeds that manage to wiggle through. 

How many treatments will I receive each year?

Bundle and Fertilization customers will receive at least 8 treatments throughout the year. 

How do you address weeds that are harder to control?

Grassy weeds such as Crabgrass are resilient to herbicide and are best controlled through pre-emergents. We do our best to get ahead of them with professional-grade pre-emergents in the months prior to germination, but we cannot guarantee their complete departure in most cases.

Do you charge to re-service my property if I still see weeds?

Not at all! We ask that you allow your weeds time to die and rot away. The weed itself will take a few days to wilt and die, and you should see it start to rot away within 10-14 days. If you are still seeing weeds after that, we will be happy to send someone out to re-service your property. 

How do I get my free soil sample?

All new customers signing up for our lawn fertilization program will receive a free soil test & analysis.

When will I receive the results of my free soil sample?

On your first fertilization or bundle treatment we will pull a plug of soil from your property and have it sent off to two separate labs. This process can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks.

Customer Reviews

I have the greenest lawn on the block! Very happy with Green Gate so far. The office staff is very pleasant and professional. They give me a text before arriving. They close gates upon entry (as requested) to keep our little dog from escaping. Important to us. We had True Green at one time and the service was horrible. We started to handle everything ourselves but with busy working schedules had to give it up. So glad we found this company and love the veteran owned story behind it.

Michael L.

We have had some issues in the past with finding talent in the area that does the job right, always shows up, and keeps us informed. Greengate does all of that. They always respond to you whether it's email or phone call and will get you quotes with a sense of urgency. They understand that my time is valuable. With Greengate we literally never have to worry about our lawn care and maintenance. If you want a peace of mind and a great looking yard year round, Greengate is perfect! They have been doing our lawn consistently for almost two years now and I have never had one complaint!

Amanda S.

Greengate is the best lawn service company I've ever used (and I feel like I've been rotating through them forever). Not only is the service reasonably priced, my lawn looks the best it ever has. They cover all of the basics, but also have key additions (like humic acid) and services (like sod webworm and antifungal treatments) included.

On top of that - they are extremely (I wish I could bold that) responsive. I get email responses within the hour, and when I had an issue with some fungus they were out within two days, no questions asked. I would recommend them without reservation.

Matthew D.

Our yard needed a complete maintenance overhaul. The crew today made up of Wilmer, Javier and Osman exceeded all my expectations. They were detailed and complete in getting the job done. Thank you!!! So happy to have switched to Greengate for all my landscaping needs. Not looking back!!!

Mark B.

The office staff is WONDERFUL! Every time I call I get a quick answer, my account is already pulled up, and they are happy to answer the silliest of questions with a smile I their voices. The crew is always on time, in and out quickly. And leaves the gate shut, which is important because of our pets. The company stays in communication about delays and gives you an expected date of service if for whatever reason they are unable to complete the requested services on the scheduled date. I moved to this company on a whim from a local competitor after I spent MONTHS trying to get on a consistent bi-weekly schedule with them. (Something Greengate has managed to execute without an issue) Over all, A+++ for Greengate!!!

Katherine F.

We highly recommend GreenGate for their lawn and landscaping fertilization, weed and pest control. We tried TruGreen and GreenBee with disappointing results before turning to GreenGate. Our lawn has never been healthier, and we constantly get compliments on it from friends and neighbors. Their organic approach has made it healthier for our pets as well. The GreenGate team is so professional and courteous and take the time to listen to any needs or concerns while they’re on site to provide scheduled services.
