Rooted in Excellence: Nature’s Select Pinehurst Crowned #1 Best Lawn Care Service in the 2026 Best of the Pines!

When it comes to local pride in Moore County, few traditions capture the heart of the community quite like The Pilot’s annual Best of the Pines competition. Every year, these people’s-choice awards shine a light on the businesses, professionals, and organizations that residents across the Sandhills rely on most.

This year, the competition drew hundreds of thousands of votes across hundreds of hyper-local categories, so standing out takes more than good service alone, and it really comes down to having a community that believes in what you do. That is why we are so grateful to announce that Nature’s Select® Pinehurst has been named the #1 Best Lawn Care Service in the 2026 Best of the Pines competition.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Amazing Customers

Winning Best of the Pines is no small feat, and we know we didn’t get here alone. This win belongs to you, the neighbors and local homeowners who took time out of busy schedules to vote for our team.

Taking first place in a region known for its golf courses and high standards for lawn care is an honor we don’t take lightly, and it shows that the relationships we’ve built with you matter. Thank you for trusting us with your lawns, for welcoming us into your yards, and for sharing your word-of-mouth acclaim with friends throughout Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Seven Lakes, and beyond. Your loyalty is the true foundation of our success.

Leadership and Passion at the Root

Behind every green, thriving lawn is a dedicated team led by owner/operators Robert Maurer and Curtis Campbell, and a community of clients who inspire us every single day. That unwavering commitment to excellence starts from the top down, fueled by our immense appreciation for the people we serve.

"We are honored that our clients in the community voted us Best of the Pines”, said Robert. “Our team works hard everyday to ensure our customers receive a quality, science based program that improves the curb appeal of their homes and properties. We take great pride in being locally owned and owner operated as we live in the communities we serve.”

That sentiment is echoed by Curtis, who highlights what truly makes this award so special:

"For us, it’s about more than just turf management; it’s about the relationships. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing the passion our team has for helping customers transform their yards, and hearing how much you enjoy your outdoor spaces. Thank you for letting us be a part of your homes."

What Sets Nature’s Select Apart?

Operating locally out of Aberdeen, NC, Nature’s Select® Pinehurst brings a soil-first, biological program to homes across Pinehurst, Aberdeen, Southern Pines, and Seven Lakes:

• The Soil-First Philosophy: Sandhills soils are sandy and drain fast, so water and nutrients slip past the roots before the grass can use them. Our biological soil amendments feed the microbes that build soil structure over time, which helps the soil hold more of both where zoysia, centipede, and bermuda lawns need it.
• Comprehensive Care: Weed control and fertilization, aeration and overseeding, tree and shrub care, and lawn insect and disease control all run through one customized year-round program built around your yard.
• Rooted in Community: Being owner-operated means every lawn is treated with local accountability and care. Homeowners often mention our team’s reliability and communication, and we plan to keep earning that praise on every visit.

Celebrating This Win Together

To be voted #1 Best Lawn Care Service in 2026 reflects the partnership between our hardworking crew and the loyal homeowners who support us.

The recognition appears in this year’s Best of the Pines magazine from The Pilot, and it pushes us to keep raising the standard for lawn care across Moore County.

Thank you, Moore County, for helping us bring home the #1 spot!
