Licensed Pesticide Application in North Saanich & Sidney

In North Saanich and Sidney, many landscapes are more than ornamental—they’re investments. Whether you’re managing a mature garden, a coastal estate, or a rural property with hedging and orchard trees, pest and disease pressure is inevitable. And when it strikes, you don’t want a guess—you want a solution.

At Ascent Yard Care, we provide licensed pesticide application services with a focus on diagnosis-first treatment and plant health management, not just spraying. We help clients in North Saanich and Sidney control pests and diseases safely, efficiently, and with long-term results in mind.

Our process is careful, compliant, and effective—and backed by real horticultural expertise.

Why Licensing Matters

British Columbia law requires pesticide applications on residential and commercial properties to be performed by licensed professionals. More importantly, improper use of chemicals can damage non-target plants, harm pollinators, or contaminate sensitive coastal environments.

Ascent Yard Care is fully licensed under the BC Integrated Pest Management Act, meaning we are trained in environmental protection, product safety, and precise, selective application.

Our Process: Diagnose. Treat. Protect.

We follow a clear, scientific process to ensure every treatment is both safe and effective:

1. Site Assessment & Diagnosis

We begin with an inspection of affected areas to correctly identify the pest or disease. From cedar browning to hedge fungus to fruit tree leaf curl, we don’t guess—we diagnose.

2. Targeted Treatment Plan

We choose the correct treatment based on species, growth stage, and surrounding plants. Our licensed applicators use selective, low-toxicity products only where necessary and only in the required quantities.

We treat:

• Hedge pests (e.g. spider mites, aphids, leaf miners)
• Fungal diseases (e.g. blight, mildew, rust, cedar dieback)
• Fruit and ornamental tree infections
• Lawn fungus, grubs, or chinch bug outbreaks
• Insect outbreaks in perennial beds and shrubs

3. Follow-Up and Landscape Support

Once the application is complete, we advise on maintenance strategies to reduce recurrence—proper irrigation, spacing, pruning, and soil improvement if needed.
