A consumer information sheet on the structural pest control industry, regulated by the Texas Department of Agriculture, is available here.

Mechanical Core Aeration

The removal of small cores of soil from the lawn; core aeration helps reduce soil compaction and improves the ability of the grass roots to expand into the soil.

Fire Ant Treatment

Year-long treatment or quick knock-downs of fire ant mounds organically, through a combination of botanically derived liquids and baits.

Tree & Shrub Deep Root Fertilization

Injection of organic fertilizers directly into your lawn's soil or close to tree root systems, as well as soil amendments to stimulate root growth.

Sick Tree Treatment

Developed by "The Dirt Doctor," Howard Garrett, we aerate the root zone and apply his recommended soil amendments to improve the overall health of the tree.

Microbial & Mycorizal Inoculation

Microbial & micorizal inoculation is what Soils Alive applies within our compost tea and within our soil remediation application. We utilize beneficial organisms to begin with in order to keep the biological cycle working. Micorizal fungus works in a symbiotic relationship with plant roots to help pull in nutrients and water more efficiently, and the plant in turn feeds the micorizal sugar, which can only be made by plants with the use of sunlight.

Grub Control (now a part of Soil-building Program)

Soils Alive uses a measured combination of Rosemary Oil and Wintergreen Oil. This is now a standard part of our Soil-building Program.
