Services
Lawn Fertilization
Our tailored fertilization programs replenish essential nutrients to promote lush, healthy lawns. Using slow-release and liquid formulas, we address seasonal needs and soil challenges. Expert applications ensure deep root growth and resilience against weeds and pests.
Pest Control
We create protective barriers around homes to prevent pest infestations. Our perimeter treatments target ants, spiders, and wasps using safe, effective methods. Regular applications ensure year-round protection and peace of mind for homeowners.
Weed Control
Pre-emergent and post-emergent weed control stops invasive plants in their tracks. Our targeted solutions eliminate existing weeds while preventing future growth, ensuring a clean, uniform lawn appearance without chemical overuse.
Liquid Aeration
Liquid aeration breaks down compacted soil to improve water and nutrient absorption. This non-invasive method enhances root health and soil oxygenation, maintaining lawn vitality without disruptive mechanical techniques.
Grub Prevention
Targeted grub control protects lawns from destructive larvae. Our proactive treatments disrupt pest life cycles, preserving grass health and preventing unsightly damage caused by beetles and other pests.

When I moved from Utah County, I was sad to leave behind my prior lawn service company. I asked them for a recommendation, and they sent me to Holmes. I could not be happier with the service. I am able to pick and choose what services I want, and they are very nice when I say that I don't want something. Never pushy, and always helpful. Highly recommend!

Landon came over to my house and did an amazing job! Very kind, and did an amazing job! Will definitely have him come back and have already recommended him to my neighbors! I recommend this company and if you use them, ask for Landon! Service:Lawn pest control

The lawn and weed service we received was worth every penny! Within 10 days of receiving our first service all weeds were gone and our lawn looked healthier and greener than it ever has. We also had our sprinklers repaired and adjusted after a rough winter and the coverage is now better than it ever has been. Can not say enough good things about how responsive and professional every single person we dealt with is.

Great service. My lawn is already looking much better after only three treatments. Additionally, with every visit Jacob goes over the conditions of my lawn and consults me on what I can do to improve them. I would highly recommend. Services:Lawn pest control, Weed control

We purchased our home last year and yard was in dire shape. We signed up with one of the big lawn companies but could not get them to come out. I found Holmes on the web and called, they were out within a few days. Our lawn is on the road to recovery thanks to Holmes and Nate our specialist. I cant say enough good things about Nate and his professionalism and friendly attitude. I appreciate Nates attention to detail and helping get our lawn to its best shape. Holmes has a lifelong customer and appreciate their quick response.

These guys do amazing work. once in a while I have had to hold them back from mowing because my grass hasn't grown maybe 1/4 of an inch (in the fall) but their service is great and I love the way my yard looks. Their customer service is fast and friendly

I'll tell you what, Travis and his crew at Holmes Property Maintenance run a fantastic business. We had some sprinkler work done a couple of weeks back and I just have to say, I'm more pleased than a returned missionary on his wedding night. Very thorough, professional, and all around smooth process. If you're looking for an outstanding landscaper/yard repair business look no further. Pick up the phone and call Holmes Property Maintenance, they go above and beyond the call of duty, the only thing additional I can think of aside from the professional work performed would be a lap dance from that stud sprinkler man. Do yourself a favor and call them for any and all yard and home needs, you won't be disappointed!

Holmes Property Maintenance is the real deal. Not only do we use their services to keep our lawn green and lush, but they were particularly helpful when we had a a large tree split in half during a wind storm this spring. They did a great job cutting and hauling away the large branches and even pruned our other trees to prevent something similar from happening again. For regular maintenance, they send out text reminders so it's no mystery when their coming. They also offer auto pay, which is really convenient. We would recommend them to anyone.
