Precision Lawn Care for Raleigh's Unique Climate

After three failed attempts with other companies, Onyx finally improved drainage in my Five Points backyard. They identified construction debris under the soil that others missed – now no more mosquito breeding pools after rains. The crew even marked where my old irrigation lines were buried.

When a microburst knocked down six crepe myrtles in our North Hills yard, Onyx had the debris cleared before our insurance adjuster arrived. Their careful bucket truck work saved what was left of our Japanese maple. Most impressive was how they tarped the muddy areas to protect our landscaping.

Our new zoysia in Brier Creek has survived two summers without brown patches – a first in 10 years. The crew graded properly to divert water from the foundation, which our builder should have done originally. Love getting texts confirming fertilizer dates based on actual weather forecasts.

As first-time homeowners near NC State, we didn't realize how differently each part of our yard needed care. Onyx's zone-specific treatments brought our shady side yard back to life without overfeeding the sunny areas. The soil test explained why previous attempts failed.

Saved us from disaster when temps suddenly dropped to 12° last winter. Their technician found a cracked valve box near our pool equipment that would have flooded the mechanical room. Now our whole Preston neighborhood uses them.

Onyx was the only company willing to tackle our flooded backyard in historic Oakwood after Hurricane Michael. They pumped standing water without damaging century-old tree roots, then reseeded with a special erosion-control blend. Still looks great two years later.
