Frequently asked questions

How often should my lawn be mowed?

During peak growing season (spring and early summer), most Northern Virginia lawns need mowing every 5–7 days. In the heat of summer and late fall, bi-weekly service is usually recommended.

When is the best time to aerate in Northern Virginia?

Fall (late August through October) is the ideal time for aeration and overseeding in NOVA. Cool season grasses like tall fescue and bluegrass, thrive when seeded as temperatures begin to drop. Spring aeration is also possible but less optimal for seeding.

Do I need to water after you apply fertilizer?

For granular fertilizers, light watering within 24–48 hours helps activate the nutrients. For liquid applications, we typically ask you to water after the product has dried (usually 2–4 hours). We'll always leave specific instructions after each application visit.

Are your lawn treatments safe for kids and pets?

We use EPA-registered and organic treatment options that are safe once dry. We notify you before any application and recommend keeping children and pets off treated areas for about 1–2 hours until the product dries.

Why does my lawn have brown patches?

Brown patches in lawns are commonly caused by grub damage, fungal disease (like brown patch fungus), drought stress, or over-fertilizing. Our team can diagnose the cause during a free site visit and recommend the appropriate treatment, whether that's a curative fungicide, grub control, or simply adjusting your watering schedule..

Do we offer one time services or only contracts?

We offer both one-time services and ongoing programs depending on your needs. However, lawn mowing is available only as a continuous maintenance service to ensure consistent lawn health and appearance.
