For a beautiful, healthy lawn, make the local choice: Virginia Green. Virginia’s largest locally owned lawn care company. Our certified service leaders and in-house agronomists (soil scientists) know the area’s weather and lawn challenges better than any company around—and we look forward to bringing our experience and expertise to your lawn! Virginia Green provides comprehensive lawn care and maintenance to ensure a healthy lawn all year long. With offices in Richmond, Charlottesville, Fredericksburg, Williamsburg, and now Northern Virginia - Virginia Green serves households and businesses throughout central Virginia. Our company provides the following lawncare services for residential and commercial properties: Comprehensive Lawn Care Programs (fertilization, weed and pre-weed control, and fungicides) Tree & Shrub Care, and Aeration and Seeding, Pest Control, and more! We DO NOT mow or edge lawns; we work with your lawn to keep it green all year long.

"Virginia Green has no process for training technicians properly. It's either that or technicians just don't care about work. Partially applied 6 applications for weeding and fertilizing and every time they miss large sections of my yard. This is the 3rd season at two different properties that they have done this. They over spray and kill your plants and garden due to lack of attention to detail. I lost all of my Squash and Cucumber plants due to their carelessness. I HIGHLY DISCOURAGE ANYONE FROM USING THIS OVERPRICED SERVICE FROM A BROKEN COMPANY."

Joshua Swift and his team specialize in tree removal and pruning for Roanoke, Salem, and the New River Valley. Full day jobs can also be done at Smith Mountain Lake. Joshua is a Certified Arborist and would love a chance to look at your trees with you. He is highly skilled in using ropes to safely work in the most difficult areas. He and his team love a challenge and have safely done many jobs that other companies were not able to do.

He will always call ahead to schedule the job, so arrange for your kids, or grandkids to be there to enjoy the show. If you have the chance, get him to hang a rope swing while he is there! Joshua is with his team 4 days a week, but can usually meet you before you leave for work, or most Friday, or Saturdays. He will make every effort to meet with you as soon as possible. Give him a call today to schedule a free consultation. Job sites can be loud, text or email is also a great way to reach him. 540-357-0045. [email protected].

"Excellent work for a fair price! And they cleaned up after themselves."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

It’s not required, but it is helpful if your goal is to produce new growth. Any fertilization should occur after the lawn is aerated and before the compost is applied. If you also plan to spread seed, you’ll want to do so after the fertilizer is applied and once the ground is damp, but not wet.

Yes—hiring a professional lawn care company is worth it if you don’t have much free time to devote to lawn care. Lawn care pros will ensure that your lawn receives the vital nutrients it needs to grow and thrive, and you’re guaranteed to have a healthy, beautiful lawn. Aside from that, it’s a convenient service that frees up your time so you can do the things you love and enjoy. 

Starting a mowing business can be profitable if you manage your business wisely, calculate costs accurately, and invest in time-efficient, high-quality equipment. With good customer service, you can lock in loyal customers who invest in weekly lawn care services that turn your business into a successful one. 

Lawn care businesses can earn anywhere from $40,000 to over $100,000 per year depending on how you operate, but you’ll need to factor in the cost of equipment to determine your actual profit margins.

Despite being moderately high-maintenance, St. Augustine grass is popular for several reasons. The biggest properties that make this grass a winner for southeastern lawns include its salt, heat, humidity, and shade tolerance. This grass species is excellent for coastal regions with high humidity, mild winters, and salty skies. It’s also easy to establish in yards.

The decision of whether or not to let moss grow in your yard depends on your preference. Moss is a lower-maintenance alternative to grass that looks green and lush but doesn’t require irrigation, fertilization, or mowing. Unlike grass, moss doesn’t attract pests, so it can keep your yard free from bugs as well. However, moss won’t stand up to heavy foot traffic as well as turfgrass.
