<p>Compact soil is one of the biggest hidden threats to a healthy lawn in University Park. Over time, foot traffic and weather can compress soil, preventing essential air, water, and nutrients from reaching the root zone. Our professional core aeration service is the solution. Using specialized equipment, we remove small plugs of soil across your lawn, creating channels for revitalization.</p><p>This process immediately relieves soil compaction, improves water infiltration, reduces runoff, and promotes deeper, stronger root growth. Aeration is especially crucial before overseeding or applying our organic fertilizers, as it ensures those vital amendments can penetrate effectively. The result is a thicker, greener, and more drought-resistant turf.</p><p>Following aeration, our organic lawn fertilization service feeds your lawn the right way. We avoid harsh synthetic chemicals that can harm soil life and lead to dependency. Instead, we use a blend of time-tested organic granular and liquid foliar fertilizers. These natural products feed the beneficial microbes in your soil, which in turn nourish your grass roots. This method builds soil health sustainably, leading to gradual, lasting improvement in color, density, and overall vitality.</p><p>Our combined aeration and fertilization service is a cornerstone of our soil-first philosophy. We schedule these treatments at optimal times in the growing season to maximize their impact. For larger or hard-to-access properties, we even offer precision agri-drone applications to ensure even, efficient coverage. Trust Higher Ground to strengthen your lawn from the ground up, naturally and effectively.</p>
Weed, Pest & Disease Control
<p>A beautiful lawn can be undermined by invasive weeds, damaging pests, and silent fungal diseases. In the University Park climate, threats like stubborn grassy weeds, fire ants, grubs, and brown patch are common. At Higher Ground, we provide comprehensive, science-backed solutions to protect your lawn's health and appearance, using methods that are effective yet safe for your family and the environment.</p><p>Our weed control strategy is proactive and targeted.

<p>A beautiful lawn can be undermined by invasive weeds, damaging pests, and silent fungal diseases.

At Higher Ground, we provide comprehensive, science-backed solutions to protect your lawn's health and appearance, using methods that are effective yet safe for your family and the environment.</p><p>Our weed control strategy is proactive and targeted. We identify the specific weed species in your lawn and apply selective, effective treatments that eliminate the invaders without harming your desirable grass. We focus on preventing weed seeds from germinating and managing existing problems before they spread.</p><p>For pest control, we address the full spectrum of lawn-damaging insects. From subsurface grubs that eat grass roots to above-ground nuisances like fire ants, fleas, and ticks, our treatments create a protective barrier. We prioritize products that target pests specifically, minimizing impact on beneficial insects and the broader ecosystem.</p><p>Lawn diseases, often fueled by humidity, require expert diagnosis and timing. We are trained to identify signs of common Texas fungal diseases like dollar spot and brown patch early. Our treatment plans include cultural recommendations (like proper watering) and targeted fungicide applications when necessary to stop the spread and help your grass recover. With Higher Ground on the job, you can enjoy a healthy, comfortable outdoor space free from unsightly and damaging problems.</p>
“I could not be more grateful that I found Higher Ground!! As an interior designer and holiday decorator, I will never use anyone else. I hired them for a client’s home for Christmas to do the outdoor lights and decor installation as well as the indoor garland and Christmas tree, and it was absolutely stunning. My client joked that she wanted astronauts to see her lights from space, and I was blown away that HG DELIVERED!!! The work was impeccable, and they were so easy to work with. I appreciated JP’s expertise and ability to work through and execute specific design details with me. The process on my end was seamless, which allowed me to focus on other aspects of the project. The guys periodically stopped by to make sure everything was working correctly, and when the weather caused a few minor issues, they were there almost immediately.
Aside from their talent and efficiency, it was huge a blessing to work with such genuine people. They were communicative, caring, kind, and considerate… JP especially. I can’t imagine anyone I’d rather work with than JP. Even when I had some personal issues causing delays, JP was not only patient and understanding, but he also checked in on me and offered support. It was a true testament to his character and the wonderful people at HG. I am so grateful to have found a team of positive, admirable people of integrity who also produce amazing design work. Between JP’s character, faith, eye, and talent, I would trust him with any of my future projects. Thank you, Higher Ground, for bringing light to my clients and myself this Christmas! ♥️”

“Higher Ground has done an amazing job on my lawn in a very short time. Several of my neighbor's yards that were shot up with nitro and other "quick" green-up products are no longer green or healthy. Thanks to Higher Ground, my hard is green, healthy and thriving! My lawn is less than six months old, but looks healthy and mature!

“Since Higher Ground Lawn Service have been treating my lawn for weeds, I honestly can attest that the treatment plan is excellent. In the past 2 years after allowing a well known lawn treatment service to fertilize and provide weed control service I was extremely disappointed and frustrated! The grass was thick but it wasn’t vibrant.
However after seeking a quality service I was blessed to express my concerns to JP and be reassured thru his knowledge and experience that my lawn would be weed free and thrive in the process.
My lawn has received 3 treatments and I marvel at what I see, there are NO WEEDS( Dallisgrass
doesn’t stand a chance against this treatment) and my lawn is not only thick but it now has vitality!
Also I appreciate the great service Molly provides in each application of the prescribed treatment, which entails much more than weed control.
Thank you JP, Molly and Higher Ground Lawn Service for your commitment to excellency!

“After looking for lawn care companies that could help us with weeds that took over our lawn, I found Higher Ground Lawn Care & Landscape Lighting through their high reviews. I spoke to JP to learn of the options we had moving forward and got to meet him in person the first time him and Sonny, our lawn care specialist, arrived. JP is very knowledgeable and gave me tips and suggestions towards proper maintenance of our property.
Fast forward a couple treatments and working with Sonny, have seen improvements after applications of their pre/post emergent, fertilizer, and recommendations towards care for our lawn. Sonny is very knowledgeable, can identify the various types of weeds and which applications are needed to control their growth. He was also kind towards our property as if it were his own and made sure to clean and lock up after he was finished every time.
This company lives up to their reputation, do excellent work, and I hope to update my Google review as I continue working with the team at Higher Ground Lawn Care and see more improvements on our lawn.”
