What services does Simply Green Turf Care offer?
We offer a wide range of comprehensive lawn care services to meet all your needs. These include:
- Lawn Fertilization Services: We use a customized approach with organic fertilizers to provide your lawn with the specific nutrients it needs to grow.
- Aeration and Seeding: This service combo is key to a thicker, healthier lawn. We core aerate to de-compact the soil and then apply fresh grass seed to fill in bare spots.
- Weed Control: We use pre- and post-emergent herbicides to stop weeds like dandelions and crabgrass before they have a chance to take over.
- Lawn Pest and Insect Control: We get rid of pests like grubworms and armyworms that can destroy your lawn from the roots up. We also offer treatments for lawn fungus.
- Deer Deterrent Solutions: Our plant-safe deterrents keep deer from eating your flowerbeds and gardens without causing them harm.
How often should my lawn be fertilized?
The frequency of fertilization depends on your lawn's specific needs and the time of year. For cool-season grasses common in Virginia, we generally recommend fertilizing in the early fall and again in late fall to help prepare the lawn for winter and promote strong root growth for the spring. Our approach is always based on a soil analysis to ensure we apply the right nutrients at the right time
What is lawn aeration and why is it important?
Lawn aeration is the process of creating small holes in your lawn to de-compact the soil. This is essential for a healthy lawn because it allows water, air, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the root system. Over time, soil becomes compacted from foot traffic and heavy rain, which suffocates the grass. Our professional lawn aeration service revitalizes your lawn, leading to stronger roots, better nutrient absorption, and a thicker turf.
What kind of pests and diseases do you treat?
We offer effective lawn pest control and treatments for common lawn diseases in the Richmond, VA area. We specialize in eliminating destructive insects like grubworms and armyworms. We can also treat and prevent fungal issues like brown patch, which is common in Virginia's humid climate.
