OUR Process

Our signature Lawn Care Program consists of 10 treatments, completed strategically over eight
visits by our Licensed Technicians throughout the year. Here is how the process works for you:

1
Assessment
Your dedicated Account Manager visits to assess grass type, measure your lawn, identify problem areas and walk you through any questions. Soon after, you receive a quote for the Lawn Care Program with Aeration & Overseeding, along with an outline showing the order of treatments.
2
Scheduling
Once you approve, your lawn gets its first treatment the next time your Licensed Technician is in your neighborhood.
3
Application
Our Licensed Technicians apply only the highest quality fertilizers and weed control products to cultivate and maintain a healthy, weed-free lawn. Treatments are calibrated to the Northern Virginia climate and soil conditions. We leave a small lawn sign to show you which treatment you have received, and when.
4
Aeration & Overseeding
This service is completed in the late Summer or Fall to dramatically revitalize your lawn. Because Aeration & Overseeding is interdependent with the Lawn Care Program, we only offer them together (although they are charged separately).
5
Follow-Up
If you ever have questions or concerns regarding our Lawn Care Program, please reach out. Your Account Manager and our office staff are always happy to assist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most of our clients have children or pets, so we are very cautious in everything we do. We have spent years developing and testing our Lawn Care Program, and have created a hybrid program that uses organic as well as synthetic products. Applying the proper amount of product is critical – apply too much, and the product will run off and adversely affect our waterways. Our weed controls are spot-sprayed, which takes our Licensed Technicians longer but is much safer for children and the environment. Once a treatment is completed, we recommend keeping off the lawn for 24 to 48 hours.

Think of our Lawn Care Program like a healthy diet and exercise, not liposuction. Your lawn will look great, but it takes time. Most lawns reach their full potential after 12 to 18 months in our Lawn Care Program, often following the second annual cycle of Aeration & Overseeding. Things usually look worse before they look better – you will likely notice cycles of weeds being killed off and turning patchy. Your Account Manager can speak to your individual property and other factors that you should consider, like too much or too little sun or water.

This service is completed in the late Summer or Fall to dramatically revitalize your lawn. Because Aeration & Overseeding is interdependent with the Lawn Care Program, we only offer them together (although they are charged separately).

Treatments vary each visit, but the sequence is purposeful and vital to its success in Northern Virginia’s climate and soil conditions. Our Licensed Technicians will carefully apply fertilizer, pre-emergent crabgrass control, broadleaf weed control, grub and insect control, winterizer and limestone and perform an annual pH test.

No, our Lawn Care Program is designed so you can jump into the treatment cycle at any time. Each treatment builds upon the previous one as the seasons change.

We have fine-tuned the products, timing and sequence of our Lawn Care Program over many years, operating exclusively in Northern Virginia. Our Licensed Technicians are certified specialists in lawn care, complete training courses every year and use only the finest quality products.

No – our Lawn Care Program will greatly benefit any lawn, but consistent watering does help a yard make faster progress. For some treatments, we suggest watering within 24 hours for best results. Watering is most critical during the hot months of June, July and August.

We offer preventative fungicide and wiregrass suppression treatments that are separate from the Lawn Care Program. Please contact your Account Manager to diagnose the problem and discuss further.
