Growing Solutions offers tick control services for homeowners wishing to minimize tick activity on those parts of their property they frequent most often. Our staff takes into consideration the structure of the landscape, vegetation, lawn boundaries, wooded boundaries, and other factors contributing to tick activity before determining how to proceed with the treatment.
There are certain areas of the property that are more conducive to tick activity than others. It is those specific places that we target with our treatment and landscape management suggestions, if necessary.
Tick control starts with understanding the property.
We take a targeted approach that considers where ticks are more likely to be active and which parts of the landscape receive the most use.
#1
We begin by walking the property and talking with you about how the yard is used. During the review, we look at lawn edges, shaded areas, wooded borders, leaf litter, shrubs, groundcover, and other landscape features that can create favorable conditions for ticks.
#2
Based on what we see, we develop a treatment plan focused on the areas where tick activity is more likely. The plan may also include recommendations for landscape changes or maintenance practices that can make parts of the property less favorable for ticks.
#3
Our team applies tick treatments to selected areas of the property based on the treatment plan. Rather than treating the landscape without direction, we focus on lawn edges, transition zones, planting areas, wooded borders, and other locations where treatment may have the greatest impact.
Tick activity changes throughout the year, so treatment timing matters. We can provide ongoing service during the active season and adjust recommendations based on weather, landscape growth, and changes to the property.
We’ll take a walk around your property, look at the areas where tick activity may be more likely, and talk through the options. It’s a relaxed conversation, not a sales consultation. Fill out the form and we’ll be in contact!
Trees can have a major impact on how a property looks and feels. The right trees can provide privacy, cooling shade, soften the architecture of a home, and enhance the overall landscape. They can also help define areas of the property and add beauty, structure, and seasonal variety.
CT properties differ from other areas, since the weather, soil, and tree growth patterns should be considered when choosing which types to plant on your land. Proper planning and tree selection will ensure the right fit for your property, allowing trees to grow in a way that feels natural and well-integrated into the landscape over time.
By selecting the right trees to plant in your property, you are ensuring the protection of your investment in the long run.
Tick control works best when the person treating the property also understands how the landscape functions. Growing Solutions looks at the lawn, planting beds, wooded borders, shade, vegetation, and maintenance patterns before recommending a treatment approach.
Because our team also provides lawn care, plant health care, pruning, and other property services, we can coordinate tick management with the broader care of the landscape. That allows us to look beyond a single application and consider how ongoing maintenance may affect tick-friendly conditions around the property.
We focus on targeted service, dependable scheduling, and practical recommendations based on the individual landscape.

Ticks are often found around wooded borders, tall grass, shrubs, leaf litter, groundcover, and shaded transition areas between maintained lawns and more natural vegetation. Conditions vary by property, which is why a site review can be helpful.
Treatment frequency depends on the property, seasonal conditions, and the type of tick control program being used. We can recommend a schedule after reviewing the landscape and the areas you want to protect.
Not necessarily. Targeted treatments often focus on areas where ticks are more likely to be active, such as lawn edges, shrubs, wooded borders, and transition zones. The treatment plan depends on the layout of the property.
Yes. Keeping certain areas maintained, reducing heavy leaf buildup, trimming overgrown vegetation, and managing landscape edges can help make parts of a property less favorable for ticks. These measures can be used alongside professional treatment.
Yes. Tick management can be coordinated with lawn care, pruning, plant health care, and other property services. This can make it easier to address both treatment and the landscape conditions that may contribute to tick activity.
Ticks can be active during much of the year when conditions are favorable, though activity often increases during warmer months. Treatment schedules are typically based on seasonal conditions and the needs of the property.
Cost depends on the size and layout of the property, the areas being treated, service frequency, and the type of treatment program. We provide recommendations and pricing based on the specifics of your property.
Tick control cannot guarantee elimination of every single tick. Tick control is designed to minimize the activity of ticks in the treated areas.
