Our Story

Dereck Palermo—owner of Grow Green Weed Control and a proud firefighter—founded the company to bring reliable, high-quality lawn treatments to homeowners across South Louisiana.

We built our service around Louisiana turf and weather. That means centipede, St. Augustine, zoysia, and bermuda programs that account for heavy rain seasons, soil compaction, high heat, and our particular weed and fungus pressures. We use university-supported products and rates, and we document every visit with clear notes so you always know what was applied and why.

“We treat every yard like our own. If something isn’t right, we make it right.”

What Makes Us Different

Most companies are generalists. We’re specialists. That focus lets us invest in better training, better chemistry, and tighter quality control.

🧪 University-backed product choices 📅 Weather-timed applications 📸 Photo notes after each visit 🧰 Calibrated pro equipment 📞 Local support—no call centers

Louisiana Turf Expertise

Centipede & St. Augustine: gentle, targeted blends—watch temps closely to avoid stress.

Zoysia: gorgeous but fungus-prone in humidity—preventive timing when pressure is high.

Bermuda: thrives with steady nutrition and strategic pre-emergent windows.

How We Work

Listen & Inspect. We ask about problem areas, walk the lawn, and note sun, shade, soil, irrigation and traffic patterns.

Plan the Program. We match your turf type with an 8-step annual plan and add-ons (fungus, fire ants, bed weed control, aeration) only if they benefit your lawn.

Apply Precisely. Calibrated sprayers and spreaders, correct rates, weather-aware timing, and careful edges along beds and hardscapes.

Communicate Clearly. Automated reminders, gate/pet notes, and post-service emails with what we used and what to expect next.

Track Results. We monitor progress visit to visit and tweak applications for emerging weeds, disease pressure, or seasonal swings.

Our Promise

We’ll treat your property like our own—neat edges, closed gates, and mindful applications that protect people, pets, and plants.

Service Guarantee

If you’re not seeing the progress we expect between visits, reach out. We’ll re-check and adjust the plan. The goal is a lawn you’re proud of.

No Contracts

We earn your business every visit. Most clients stay because the results are visible and the service is easy.
