Expert Landscape Care
for the Bay Area
State Licensed · Diamond Certified Since 2009 · Marin, Contra Costa & Alameda Counties
From lawn fertilization to tree treatments, ATCO brings 40+ years of expertise to keep your property healthy, beautiful, and thriving — using common-sense, science-based methods.
Your Property Deserves Expert Care
ATCO’s landscape and agricultural services go beyond pest control. We use Assessment-Based Pest Management (APM) principles to assess your lawn, trees, shrubs, and garden before recommending a treatment. Options depend on the job: some may be lower-impact, while tree, plant, or grub work may require synthetic products. Our office or technician will review the proposed plan, family and pet considerations, and any applicable precautions with you before treatment.
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.
- Trunk injection treatments
- 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. They can also attract skunks, raccoons, and moles looking for food; moles may visit for other reasons too. We apply targeted treatments for active grub 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
Fruit Suppression
Prevent messy, unwanted fruit drop from ornamental fruit trees. Our growth regulator treatments reduce fruit production without harming the tree, keeping your property clean.
- Growth regulator application
- Timed pre-bloom treatments
- Olive, sweetgum & ornamental pear
- Reduced cleanup & staining
- Tree health preserved
