Welcome to Father and Son Pest and Lawn Solutions
Are you so frustrated with your lawn that you’re ready to cement the whole thing over and paint it green?
Hi, I’m Skip Orth, owner of Father and Son Pest and Lawn Solutions. I’ve been solving lawn problems for homeowners right here along the Emerald Coast for over 25 years.
The Emerald Coast is one of the most difficult areas in the entire country to keep a lawn healthy! Our sandy, nutrition deprived soil is very poor. Certain weeds we have here along the Emerald Coast are so aggressive they will choke out an otherwise healthy lawn. Our sub tropical climate is ideal for a variety of insects and diseases that attack and destroy lawns. As well as, inconsistent rainfall requires ever changing irrigation requirements and specialized knowledge of sprinkler systems. All these challenges put together, require quite a bit of expertise to keep a lawn healthy over the long run!
Because of my experience in dealing with all of these challenges, working on literally thousands and thousands of lawns over time, I’ve discovered the best methods and materials to meet the the challenges we face along the Emerald Coast when it comes to keeping grass healthy.
I am very intentional about passing my knowledge and expertise down to my staff. Environmental conditions constantly fluctuate through the year affecting lawns in a variety of ways such as disease, pest activity and drought stress. Several times a week our technicians and I will meet first thing in the morning and discuss what is affecting lawns at this time and how to modify our treatments and procedures to meet the conditions we face.

We don’t take a “one size fits all” approach with our service. Each lawn we service varies in grass type, shade, density and soil conditions just to name a few. Each of our service vehicles carries a variety of products and application equipment to treat the variety of lawn needs we encounter every day.
Our service crews consist of 2 members. I know from personal experience you can get worn out pretty fast treating lawns on a hot July day. Having two technicians per crew spreads out the workload and enables them to provide better service over all.
We offer a variety of maintenance programs designed to provide your lawn and landscape with everything needed to keep it healthy! See our Services page for a comprehensive listing of our recurring service packages and our individual (a-la-carte) services available to suit your maintenance needs.
Please contact us for a free lawn consultation. We will assess your lawn and discuss with you what it needs to restore it and keep it healthy. Many lawn problems cannot be solved with treatments alone so we will also take the opportunity to inform you about what else you can do that will enhance the service we provide.
