RESEARCH-BASED REVIEW, NOT A FIRST-HAND VISIT. Everything below comes from the public sources listed at the end, accessed on 2026-10-11. No one from Peachtree City Guide has hired this company or contacted it. Workmanship scores are provisional.
Licensing for landscaping: Georgia doesn’t license landscapers or mowing companies as such. “Landscape and Irrigation” is a Limited Service Specialty that needs no residential or general contractor license within its scope (https://sos.ga.gov/page/limited-service-specialty-contractors-policy-statements). Lawn chemicals are different: applying any pesticide (weed control, insecticide, fungicide) to someone else’s property for a fee requires both a GA Dept. of Agriculture Commercial Applicator License and a Pesticide Contractor License (https://www.agr.georgia.gov/agricultural-pest-control). We searched GDA’s Pesticide Contractor records by name (data as of 10/09/2026). Irrigation: there’s no separate state irrigation license, but irrigation-system wiring and low-voltage lighting are “general low-voltage systems” under the state low-voltage contractor license (Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 121-3-.06(2)). The Georgia Certified Landscape Professional (GCLP) credential is voluntary (UGA), and none of the companies reviewed here appears in the Fayette or Coweta GCLP directory.

Properly licensed for lawn chemicals and well reviewed at the PTC branch, but the company’s BBB grade is D-. Read the service agreement and cancellation terms before signing up.
