Our Landscape & AG Services
Comprehensive care for every part of your property
Lawn Fertilization
Custom fertilization programs tailored to Bay Area soil and climate conditions. We build thick, resilient turf that crowds out weeds naturally.
- Seasonal fertilization schedule
- Slow-release organic blends
- Weed pre-emergent treatments
Tree Treatment
Protect your trees from destructive insects and fungal issues with targeted trunk injection and soil drench treatments. We apply treatments — we are not arborists and do not diagnose tree conditions.

- Bark beetle & borer control
- Fungal disease management
- Deep root fertilization
- Aphid & scale insect control
Note: ATCO provides pest and disease treatments only. We are not licensed arborists and do not perform tree diagnosis or structural assessments.
Grub Treatments
Grubs feed on grass roots, creating dead patches and attracting skunks and raccoons that dig up your lawn. We apply targeted treatments to eliminate active infestations.
- Targeted grub identification
- Curative treatments for active infestations
- Annual protection programs
Note: ATCO provides treatments only. We do not perform lawn diagnosis or recovery planning.
Roses & Shrub Care
Keep your ornamental plants vibrant with targeted pest and disease management. We treat roses, bushes, hedges, and ornamental shrubs for common Bay Area threats.
- Aphid & spider mite control
- Powdery mildew treatment
- Systemic insect protection

Landscape & AG Services — Questions Answered
What Bay Area homeowners and property managers search for about landscape pest control.
Aphids, scale insects, spider mites, and whitefly are the most frequently treated landscape pests in Northern California per UC ANR APM. Gophers and moles are the top yard pest by property damage.
Bay Area landscape pest guide →
A strong stream of water knocks off light infestations. For larger populations, ATCO uses neem oil and insecticidal soap in targeted applications — pollinator-friendly, effective, and timed for when beneficial insects aren't active.
Aphid control methods →
Yes — ATCO uses underground mechanical trapping only on pet-accessible properties. No rodenticide bait, no secondary poisoning risk for dogs, cats, or the raptors that patrol your yard.
Low-impact gopher trapping →
Most programs run quarterly, timed to pest pressure: early spring for aphids and scale crawlers, summer for spider mites and whitefly, fall for ground pests, and winter for dormant oil treatments on trees and shrubs.
Schedule a landscape assessment →
Yes. Applications are scheduled in the evening when bees are less active, flowering plants in bloom are avoided, and pollinator-friendly products are selected per UC ANR APM guidelines. Protecting pollinators is non-negotiable.
Our pollinator-friendly treatment policy →
Horticultural oil applied in dormant season smothers overwintering scale. Systemic treatments for severe scale infestations, and targeted foliar applications for aphids. The right product depends on the tree species and severity.
Tree & shrub pest treatments →
Yes. ATCO holds a California Branch 2 Field Operator License and serves nurseries, small farms, vineyards, and large estate landscapes throughout Alameda, Contra Costa, and Marin counties.
Commercial & agricultural services →

- Remove dead plant material promptly
- Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizer, which promotes soft growth aphids love
- Report new pest or disease activity between scheduled visits
