Nature's Select® has served the Sandhills since 2018 from an owner-operated office at 290 Ridgeline Rd B in Aberdeen, a few minutes from the Village of Pinehurst Historic District. The franchise covers Pinehurst, Aberdeen, Southern Pines, Seven Lakes, and Whispering Pines, along with the Country Club of NC, Forest Creek, Fairwoods on 7, Mid-South, and Pinewild communities and the surrounding Moore County towns, using the same biological lawn care approach that Nature's Select® has refined across North Carolina since 1994. The page below covers the office details, the services we offer, what makes Sandhills lawns distinct, and the neighborhoods we work in every week.
Biological lawn care for a Sandhills lawn means a soil-first approach calibrated to sandy soil and warm-season grass dominance. The Sandhills office, applies Nature's Select® Solutions tailored to the property's specific conditions and uses targeted chemistry only when measured pressure exceeds the treatment threshold.
The program applies the same biological principles Nature's Select® has refined since 1994, calibrated to Sandhills conditions. Warm-season lawns (bermudagrass, zoysiagrass, centipedegrass) receive input timing matched to the warm-season growth cycle, while cool-season fescue lawns receive summer-stress mitigation through building soil organic content. Brown patch monitoring runs through the peak-pressure summer months, and spring dead spot work happens in fall, the only effective treatment window for that warm-season disease. Pre-emergent applications are timed to soil temperatures, ahead of crabgrass germination, rather than to the calendar. Nature's Select® Solutions, a proprietary blend of compost teas, beneficial microorganisms, and organic matter amendments, holds nutrients in sandy soil that would otherwise leach below the root zone. The result is fewer applications, fewer brown-out days during summer drought, and soil that compounds in health season over season.

A few minutes from the Village of Pinehurst Historic District. Serving Pinehurst, Aberdeen, Southern Pines, Seven Lakes, and surrounding Moore County communities since 2018.
Every service Nature's Select® offers across North Carolina is available across the Sandhills, calibrated to the region's sandy soil and warm-season turf dominance.
Year-round biological program of biological inputs, soil amendments, and regenerative soil health practices, calibrated to Sandhills sandy-soil drainage and the warm-season grass cycle across Pinehurst, Aberdeen, and Southern Pines.
Pre and Post-emergent weed control, matched to Sandhills temperatures, and continuous low-dose fertilization to prevent nutrient leaching.
Core aeration relieves sandy compaction and supports the rhizome and stolon development that thickens the warm-season turf dominant around Country Club of NC, Forest Creek, and National Golf Club. Fall overseeding handles the cool-season fescue lawns found in shaded yards across the Sandhills.
Fertilization, biological soil amendments, and Integrated Pest Management for insect and disease pressure across Pinehurst Resort area properties, Old Town Pinehurst gardens, and Aberdeen residential landscapes. Pollinator-aware applications and soil-first nutrition for established trees.
Targeted treatment for armyworms, chinch bugs, grubs, and sod webworms is common in Sandhills turf.
Large Patch, Pythium blight, spring dead spot, and dollar spot identified on site across Sandhills warm-season turf.
The Sandhills sits in a transition zone between the Piedmont and the Coastal Plain. From Foxfire to Whispering Pines, soil, dominant turf, and seasonal pressure all behave differently here than in the Triad or Triangle.
The Sandhills sits on sandy and loamy topsoil left by ancient marine sediment, dominant from the Pinehurst Country Club neighborhoods to the rural-residential properties around Carthage. The soil drains fast and holds nutrients poorly, which is exactly why biological inputs matter more here than in the clay-heavy regions of the Piedmont — without organic matter and beneficial microbes, synthetic nutrients leach below the root zone within days.
Warm-season grasses dominate Sandhills lawns. Bermudagrass anchors most residential and golf-course properties (the same species that anchors Pinehurst No. 2), zoysiagrass is increasingly popular for HOA properties in Pinewild and Mid South Club, and centipedegrass works for low-input residential lawns. Cool-season fescue can survive in shaded yards but typically struggles through Sandhills summer heat.
Sandhills pressure follows a predictable seasonal rhythm, with applications timed to soil temperature and pressure onset. Spring is pre-emergent ahead of crabgrass germination and spring dead spot on warm-season lawns. Summer brings peak brown patch on fescue, large patch on warm-season turf, and drought stress on sandy soils. Fall shifts to dollar spot and rust while opening the spring dead spot treatment window. Winter is warm-season dormancy with soil-building applications continuing.
The same six principles that have guided Nature's Select® across North Carolina since 1994 apply on every Sandhills property. The Sandhills context simply makes some of them more visible than others.
Sandy Sandhills soil cannot hold synthetic nutrients the way clay can. Biology has to do the work, which is why our program leads with soil amendments.
Calendar fertilizer dumps wash through the Sandhills sand within days. Our spoon-fed timing keeps nutrients in the root zone and out of the watershed.
Sandhills summers run dry, and the sand drains fast. Building soil organic content holds more water in the root zone, which shows up as healthier lawns from June through September
Healthy biological soil suppresses many warm-season pressures (large patch, spring dead spot, dollar spot) before they cross a treatment threshold. Customers see fewer chemical inputs over a season.
The Sandhills office is owner-operated by Billy Gray, based in Aberdeen with weekly visits across Pinehurst, Pinewild, Forest Creek, Southern Pines, Aberdeen, and the Seven Lakes communities. The franchise opened in 2018 and has grown from 240 customers to more than 1,350.
Affiliations with local, state, and national associations, including the NC State Beekeepers Association, drive our protocol for every visit: no broad spraying during bloom, the lowest effective rate, and treating only the affected area. Especially relevant in the Sandhills community, with its mix of residential gardens and large open landscapes including the Sandhills Horticultural Gardens.
Nature's Select® Pinehurst is the Sandhills operating unit of the broader Nature's Select® franchise network. It opened in 2018 to provide premier biological lawn care to Pinehurst-area homes. The office at 290 Ridgeline Rd B in Aberdeen is the operational center.
Founded: 2018 as the third Nature's Select® Operating Unit.
Growth: From 240 customers at opening to more than 1,350 today.
Approach: Same biological training the original 1994 group carried, calibrated to Sandhills sandy soil and warm-season lawns.
Role in the network: Anchors the Sandhills territory in Nature's Select®'s North Carolina footprint (Piedmont Triad, Research Triangle, Sandhills).

Curtis has been my technician for several years. He is WONDERFUL. He always goes above and beyond. I've never seen him without a smile on his face.
After a disaster of an experience with my previous provider that destroyed my beautiful established Bermuda grass, I went with Nature's Select® and haven't regretted it one bit. Robert and the crew do an amazing job. They are professional and knowledgeable about the job. It does take some time and it is not an over-the-weekend fix for most yards. They have been working with me for a few years now and all the hard work is paying off. I highly recommend this company and thank you for restoring my yard back to where it should be.
Nature's Select® has been working on our lawn since last June and we have been very pleased with the service. They are prompt, courteous and professional. Curtis Campbell has done an excellent job of keeping us informed as to the process as we go through the year, as well as being extremely knowledgeable and informative in terms of us learning the landscaping needs, as we are new to this area. We highly recommend them.
A few months ago I thought my lawn was dead. It was extremely dry and patchy. With the help of Curtis, Roy and Nature's Select my lawn looks beautiful. I am extremely happy!
I came over to Nature's Select® a few years ago because of one of the personnel, Curtis Campbell, and I had a history going back many years. I liked going with him because of his professionalism and dedication. I called him on a Friday night after hours and he was out to dinner with his wife. I told him what my problem was (army worms). He immediately got on the phone with Roy, who was out working still, and had him come out to service my yard immediately. It's this kind of service and loyalty to their customers that I rate them so high on.
Our grass looks fantastic. Curtis has done a fantastic job treating our lawn over the past 10 months. For two years, I tried fertilizing and seeding my lawn with varying success. I contacted Curtis after noticing what a fantastic job he had done treating my neighbor's lawn over the years. As hard as I tried, I was never able to duplicate the color, thickness nor keep the weed content down. I am absolutely amazed at how he has turned my yard around in little under a year's time. The other day, I had a few weeds on our lawn and asked Curtis if he would take a look at them. He responded quickly and they were gone in no time after his spot treatment. Curtis is prompt and backs his word when he says he can transform your yard. We receive numerous compliments from neighbors and friends and I quickly give credit where credit is due. Thank you Curtis and Nature's Select® for all you do!
I have tried several lawn service companies since 2014 to help with our bermuda grass but to no avail. I contacted Nature's Select® Sandhills this past March for an estimate on treating our bermuda grass. Since March, our grass has never looked better! Curtis is awesome! He is easy to contact and answers all our questions. I highly recommend Curtis and Nature's Select Sandhills in maintaining your yard.
Curtis and team do an amazing job. I had Zoysia sod installed, covering my entire lawn. Curtis has taken care of it since day 1, and the lawn is thriving. I am very pleased with the service, and the results. Not to mention Curtis is a very nice guy and easy to talk to, ask questions, etc.
I have been with Nature's Select® for several years and have been extremely pleased! I had become very dissatisfied with the company I was using before. I was told by that company that a particular weed growing in my lawn was almost impossible to get rid of, and my lawn looked terrible. I then learned that Curtis Campbell was employed by Nature's Select. He was the best and most knowledgeable individual about lawns that I have ever met. I immediately signed up with Nature's Select and requested that Curtis service my lawn. After just one month Curtis had eliminated that "impossible weed". Curtis is not only an expert with lawns, he is also a very friendly person. He always explains exactly the application he is applying and informs me about anything I need to do, for example the height to mow the lawn, when and how much to water. Curtis takes great pride in his work and does it with a big smile. I always look forward to talking to him when he comes to service my lawn. I have learned a lot from him. Everyone I have met and/or talked to at Nature's Select® have been very cordial and helpful.
Highly recommend Nature's Select® Sandhills over any other lawn care services! Our yard looks amazing and all of our trouble weeds and low growth spots are taken care of. Two other neighbors have begun using their services because of the success we have had since using Nature's Select® Sandhills. You will be happy you called them!
I highly recommend NSS to all of my clients. The thing I appreciate most about the services they provide is their approach to taking care of the gardens I design. Healthy ecosystems are very important and it pleases me that they are sensitive to that. When they treat for mosquitos, I don't have to worry about the pollinators that I'm trying to attract being harmed. That's huge to me. And anytime one of my clients has a need, the staff are prompt at responding and very professional. I haven't found a company comparable.
Our lawn looks fantastic thanks to Nature's Select®!
Invested in a spreader, researched turf care, and failed fantastically. The weeds taunted me, the fungus cursed me, and the brown patches highlighted my "fescue fiasco." Brought in Nature's Select® and turned reinforced failure into triumphant success. Accolades to Curtis, who knows the turf, provides counsel, and is a trusted agent on my property.
Nature's Select® takes the guess work out of lawn care! They are great and cost effective. I appreciate their service. Curtis is great and always is available to answer questions.
The staff at Nature's Select® are very knowledgeable and responsive. They are capable of identifying an issue on site and addressing it in a timely manner. I have enjoyed working with these guys over the past several years.
The Nature's Select® Team have truly earned my 5-star rating. Rob and crew are tremendous professionals and even better people!
The company and its staff are very good, always willing to explain and help regarding lawn care and shrubs. We have used them for two years and have been very satisfied.
Curtis is great, and has done a great job bringing our lawn back to life!
My grass looks great and their customer service is excellent! I am very satisfied with my experience.
Curtis is fantastic! Knowledgeable, friendly and efficient!
I have been using Nature's Select now for over a year on a brand new yard I installed early spring of 2025, and all I can say is what a dramatic difference they have made. Everything is lush, super green and thriving.

Warm-season grasses dominate the Sandhills because they handle the region's sandy soil and summer heat better than cool-season alternatives. Bermudagrass is the most common choice for full-sun residential lawns, such as those in Old Town Pinehurst and Forest Creek. Zoysiagrass offers strong drought tolerance with slower growth, popular in Pinewild and Mid-South Club. Centipedegrass works for low-input properties. Cool-season fescue can work in shaded yards, but it typically struggles in July through August.
Large patch can be prevalent April through August, when soil temperature and moisture favor the fungus on Sandhills turf. The Sandhills office treats large patch disease pressure preventatively on Zoysia and Fescue lawns, using targeted fungicide applications at the lowest effective rate.
