Eco-Conscious Pest Control That Works

Effective pest management starts with understanding your landscape's ecosystem, not reaching for chemicals at the first sign of trouble. Gardenworks Inc. uses Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to identify problems early, address root causes, and apply the least invasive methods necessary to protect your plants and outdoor spaces.

Every property receives a customized management plan based on thorough assessment, seasonal pest patterns, and your specific landscape features. We protect valuable specimen trees, maintain pristine ornamental gardens, and manage estate grounds with strategies tailored to each property's vulnerabilities. You'll know exactly what we're treating, why, and what results to expect.

Common Pest Problems in Sonoma County

Every landscape faces different types of pest pressures depending on plant types, irrigation practices, and the surrounding environment. We address the specific challenges of Sonoma and Napa County properties, from insects that damage plant foliage to rodents that compromise hardscaping and gophers that destroy root systems.

Aphids

Aphids multiply rapidly in Sonoma County's mild climate, clustering on tender new growth where they drain plant vitality and spread disease. These pests attack roses, ornamental shrubs, fruit trees, and vegetable gardens, causing curled leaves, stunted growth, and sticky honeydew residue that attracts ants and encourages sooty mold. Populations can explode within days, turning healthy plantings into weakened, unsightly specimens that compromise your landscape's appearance.

We focus on early detection and intervention that protects beneficial insects while eliminating pest populations. Our treatments are timed to aphid life cycles, and we monitor them throughout the growing season to catch new outbreaks before they gain momentum. We implement preventative strategies for properties with recurring pressure that reduce plant vulnerability and maintain landscape health season after season.

Let us help you stay ahead of aphid damage with expert monitoring and treatment.

Whiteflies

Whiteflies thrive on ornamental plants, citrus trees, and vegetables throughout the region. They weaken plants through constant feeding while creating clouds of insects that rise when disturbed. These pests excrete honeydew that coats leaves and encourages black sooty mold, diminishing plant vigor and the pristine appearance that defines well-maintained Sonoma and Napa properties. Infestations often go unnoticed until populations reach damaging levels, making proactive management essential.

We control whiteflies through cultural practices and precisely timed treatments that target vulnerable life stages without harming beneficial predators. Our approach preserves the parasitic wasps and predatory beetles that provide long-term control once established. By improving growing conditions and supporting beneficial insect populations, we help

your landscape become naturally more resistant to whitefly pressure.

Protect your plants from whitefly damage with comprehensive management designed for lasting results.

Scale Insects

Scale insects appear as small bumps on stems and leaves, easily mistaken for natural plant features until they cause visible decline. These pests feed on plant fluids, gradually weakening ornamental trees, fruit trees, and woody shrubs while producing honeydew that attracts ants and supports sooty mold growth. Without proper intervention, scale infestations persist for years, compromising the specimen trees and established plantings that give your property its character.

Effective management requires identifying the specific species present and treating them during their vulnerable crawler stage. We use horticultural oils and targeted applications that break the infestation cycle while protecting plant health and beneficial insects. For high-value specimen trees, we develop multi-season strategies that combine treatment, monitoring, and cultural improvements to eliminate scale populations and prevent reestablishment.

Safeguard your valuable trees and shrubs with professional scale insect control.

Gopher & Rodent Control

Gophers and ground squirrels destroy plant roots, undermine irrigation systems, and create unsightly mounds that compromise lawn appearance and hardscape stability. A single gopher can damage dozens of plants while creating tunnel systems that weaken soil structure around patios, walkways, and retaining walls. Voles add to the problem, girdling young trees and shrubs while multiplying rapidly in mulched landscape beds, threatening your investment in mature plantings.

Our rodent management combines trapping, exclusion, and habitat modification to eliminate existing populations and prevent new invasions. We use techniques tailored to the specific rodents affecting your property, with ongoing monitoring that maintains control without relying on toxic baits that threaten pets and wildlife. For properties with persistent pressure, we address attractants, access points, and breeding sites for long-term results.

Reclaim your landscape from destructive rodents with expert management solutions.

Yellowjackets

Yellowjackets become increasingly aggressive through late summer and fall, disrupting outdoor dining, poolside gatherings, and any activity in your garden or patio areas. These wasps build large colonies in ground cavities, wall voids, and protected structures, often remaining hidden until populations grow large enough to pose danger. Unlike beneficial pollinators, yellowjackets sting repeatedly when defending their nests and are drawn to the food and beverages that are part of outdoor entertaining.

We provide targeted yellowjacket control that includes nest location, safe elimination, and preventative treatments that discourage new colonies from establishing on your property. Our team distinguishes between yellowjackets and beneficial wasps, removing only true pest species while preserving insects that support your landscape's health. We offer seasonal inspections for properties with outdoor entertaining areas or high-traffic zones that keep yellowjackets from becoming a safety concern.

Enjoy your outdoor spaces safely with professional yellowjacket management.

Tree & Wood Pests

Bark beetles, borers, and wood-boring insects threaten the mature trees that define your property's character and represent significant landscape value. These pests target stressed trees, exploiting drought damage, poor pruning wounds, or declining vigor to establish colonies that can kill specimens worth thousands of dollars. Ornamental trees and fruit trees throughout the region face particular risk during drought periods when natural defenses are compromised.

Our tree care services include proactive pest and disease management. Appropriate irrigation, strategic mulching, and correct pruning maintain tree vigor and resistance to attacks. But when infestations occur, we use targeted treatments that eliminate pest populations while supporting tree recovery. We also monitor high-value trees, detecting problems early when intervention is most effective and damage can be minimized or prevented entirely.

Preserve your valuable trees with expert pest management and preventative tree care.

Benefits of Pest Management

Proactive pest management protects more than just plants—it safeguards the health, appearance, and value of your landscape. Consistent monitoring and early intervention ensure your outdoor spaces remain healthy, sustainable, and inviting year-round.

Health & Safety

Unmanaged pest populations can pose health risks to your family, guests, and pets, and make outdoor spaces uncomfortable. Rodents, mosquitoes, and ticks spread diseases that affect both people and animals. Stinging insects, such as yellowjackets and wasps, near patios and pool areas can ruin a summer day and may even cause severe allergic reactions.

Our treatments control these dangerous pests without creating hazardous conditions on your property. Effective pest management prevents the disruption and expense of pest-related illnesses, emergency infestations, or damage requiring costly repairs. Your landscape remains professionally monitored and protected, allowing you to use outdoor spaces confidently rather than dealing with pest concerns yourself.

Maintain safe, usable outdoor spaces with reliable pest management.

Landscape Health

Pests damage plants through feeding and disease transmission, reducing your landscape's vigor and appearance. Chronic pest pressure weakens trees and shrubs, making them vulnerable to drought stress and environmental damage that compounds season after season. Pest management preserves the health of your landscape investment and keeps plants strong and resilient.

Our approach protects beneficial organisms that provide natural pest control. When beneficial predators and pollinators thrive in your landscape, they create a balance that naturally resists pest outbreaks. This reduces the need for intensive treatments while improving long-term sustainability and lowering maintenance demands.

Preserve the vitality and appearance of your landscape with consistent pest protection.
