Our work
Every project starts with what we find on site. See what we did and how it turned out, or browse all case studies.
This rental was struggling to attract tenants. New fencing, irrigation and a low-maintenance landscape, kept up with weekly mowing, pest control and fertilizer, and the unit filled faster than expected.
Read the case study
A patchy, weedy, compacted backyard became the lawn our client wanted: somewhere friends and family could kick off their shoes and play cornhole. A lawn health program and sprinkler adjustments got it there.

Bare dirt became a low-maintenance landscape: concrete curbing, gravel beds, a small paver patio, new lawn and a Wi-Fi smart irrigation system with drip lines. The client saw a 3D rendering before work began.

Automated Lawn & Pest Control is owned and run by Jeff and Tiffany James, Spokane natives who started the company in 2021.
“I'm Jeff. My wife Tiffany and I started ALP in 2021, but the business is really just an extension of how we try to live: work hard, tell the truth, do what you say you'll do, and take care of people. We're Spokane natives, we love being part of this community …
At the end of the day, ALP is personal to us, and we try to run it that way.”
Jeff James · Owner
“I have been a customer of Jeff's for over a decade. When I learned he had branched out on his own, I was thrilled.”

“They did a variety of services to fix the problems we were having getting our grass to grow in such unfavorable conditions. What a huge difference they made to encourage grass growth and our lawns look beautiful!”
“…super knowledgeable and helpful answering all my questions regarding pets and safety. … We are very happy with our service and got set up with quarterly sprays to keep the pests out!”
“He walked me through the programming process, helped identify all the zones, and explained some of the features of the timer. In addition, he went around and adjusted many of the sprinkler heads for better coverage, found one that was clogged with dirt and gravel, cleaned it out, and found another head that was leaking and fixed that.”
“Jeff came out to treat for ants along the drive way and a yellow jacket nest that was in the ground at my mailbox. … Thank you Jeff for being so professional and for taking great care of us in such short notice.”
“Jeff and his team have been awesome to work with. They designed and planted new beds in the front of my house. I've received a ton of compliments from my neighbors.”
“My driveway gets shoveled every time it snows. Love it!”
When to book
The best times to core aerate a Spokane lawn are early spring and fall, and sprinklers need blowing out before the first hard freeze. Here's the rest of the year.
After a heavy-snow winter, soil comes out compacted and lawns need air, water and a clean start.
Dry summers stress lawns and sprinkler systems, and bugs start finding their way indoors.
Now
Fall suits cool-season grass for aeration, and every sprinkler system needs blowing out before the hard freeze.
When snow hits the trigger depth on your plan, we clear it, from home driveways to commercial lots.

Yes. Automated Lawn & Pest Control is set up for exactly that. The same local team can mow and fertilize your lawn, treat your home's perimeter for spiders and ants, repair or blow out your sprinklers, clean up your beds in fall and clear your driveway in winter, all from one number: (509) 818-1831. See every service we offer.
Automated Lawn & Pest Control's perimeter pest control targets spiders, ants, wasps and yellow jackets, and mice around Spokane-area homes and businesses. We treat where pests get in: the foundation, entry points like doors, windows and utility lines, and the landscape beds next to the house.
Tell us about your kids and pets when you book, and your technician will walk you through it: what's being applied, where it goes, and how long to keep everyone off treated areas.
It depends on the season and the job, and we'll give you a real date when you call. We try to schedule enough staff and equipment to stay flexible, so repairs and fall blowouts can often be fit in quickly, even in busy weeks.
Early spring and fall are the best times to core aerate a Spokane lawn, and fall suits cool-season grasses. We sometimes recommend a summer aeration for lawns that are dry or where water pools on top. Most lawns need it once a year; lawns with heavy foot traffic or clay soil can benefit from twice.
In the fall, before the first hard freeze, so water left in the lines can't freeze and crack pipes, valves or the backflow preventer. Automated Lawn & Pest Control handles sprinkler blowouts and winterization across the Spokane area.
Yes. Along with homes, we care for rental properties and commercial sites. Commercial pest programs include monitoring and documentation, and commercial snow removal runs on structured contracts with detailed scopes of work. Rental owners use us for curb-appeal projects and ongoing mowing, fertilizer and pest control. More on commercial and rental property care.
