“I have spent my whole life here. We are from here and we care about what happens here. So we try to be good guys and do it the right way,” said Zack Dixon, owner of RKO Lawn Service.
At RKO Lawn Service, Dixon and his team are passionate about helping homeowners from Chatham to Provincetown achieve lush, healthy lawns that not only enhance the aesthetic of your property but also promote a safe environment for your family and pets. Dixon started the business back in 2000; his dad ran the company for 20 years. They specialize in transforming outdoor spaces into a vibrant oasis with organic lawn care solutions, tailored perfectly for your Cape Cod home.
One of the most critical services RKO Lawn Service offers is tick and mosquito control that prioritizes eco-friendly practices. They are committed to using organic products that are safe for families, pets and the Cape environment.
“I don’t think I can emphasize it enough: If you want to protect your pets, your family and anyone, tick control is important,” Dixon said. “I have personal experience in that my family has been affected pretty badly by Lyme disease and other infections from tick diseases. My mom was one of the first cases on the Cape back in 1980, and my wife and dad have had tick-borne illnesses. And it is no fun. I have seen the damage it does.”
RKO’s tick and mosquito control program is easy to understand, a breeze to sign up for and affordable. They use a powerful, cedar oil-based solution called CedarCure. It is a USDA National Organic Program-compliant minimum-risk pesticide and is safe for bees, butterflies and other pollinators in the area. Their cedar oil formula provides 21-28 days of protection per treatment.
“If you use a typical synthetic product on ticks and mosquitoes, they get used to it and it actually won’t work as well,” Dixon said. “The synthetic can also be very dangerous to pollinators. With the all-natural cedar oil we use, they just don’t adapt to it. Ticks are out there any time it’s 50 degrees or so outside. The product gets misted onto the perimeter of the property and it kills them on contact, then it creates a barrier where it confuses them, especially as their mating habits go, and they don’t like to be around it. So it creates a great barrier around your living area.”
RKO offers full or partial season tick and mosquito plans from April to October, one-time sprays for parties or special events and even emergency tick treatments. Even better, RKO will beat any competitor's pricing.
The other main service RKO prides themselves on is their organic, all-natural lawn care solutions. RKO uses organic methods to nourish lawns naturally, ensuring they stay green and thriving throughout the seasons. Popular services include mowing, trimming, spring/fall cleanups and overseeding, organic fertilizing and all-natural grub control.

Nontoxic driveway weed prevention is a popular service among RKO’s clients as well, especially those who have seashell or stone driveways.
