I hired a large company for pest/termite control and another large company for lawn care ( fertilizer, weed treatments, etc ). Next year I'll look to hire one company that can perform all services. I prefer to have one throat to choke rather than put up with finger pointing.

Exactly. That is what we're looking for, one stop shopping. We found someone in our neighbourhood that does it all, and he has a pest control license, which is a huge deal. He will even readjust our irrigation system if needed. He has handled neighbours lawns for years and they recommend him, and their lawns look great. We're especially concerned because we spent $7,000 on landscaping in December and we'd hate to come back to a disaster.
Now we're in exile in Canada and we're getting report from friends that our lawn is in distress. Sigh. However I spoke to our lawn guy yesterday and he was wonderfully reassuring that he will take good care of us and our landscaping. He is readjusting the irrigation system today. And I don't want to be politically incorrect here, but he speaks perfect english, so communication is a joy.
