Best Lawn Dethatching Services Near Ashburn

I purchased two coupons on Angie's List in the fall of 2016. One was for Dethatching and the other was for Aeration and Overseeding. I called to schedule the dethatching, as well as the aeration and overseeding, for the same day (not THE same day I called, but for a date in the future). On the scheduled service day, the two gentlemen from the company arrived extremely late and the sun had already begun to fade. They also had NO IDEA that all three services were to be performed on that day. They only thought they were coming to do the aeration and overseeding. I verified this shortly after they arrived and one of the gentlemen placed a call and afterwards stated that all three services would be completed that day. I was very concerned that they would run out of daylight and have to return on another day. They were able to dethatch, aerate and overseed the lawn before it got too dark to see; however, not without rushing. Despite their rushing through the jobs, the two gentlemen were polite and professional and did a decent job with the small amount of time they had. I received OK results in the spring from the overseeding. Also, communication with Patrick Henry was hit or miss. I understand that stuff happens and want to give a fair review. But I would not feel comfortable using this company again.

Normally I would have accepted this offer. However a friend offered to help me dethatch my yard instead.

The company stopped by the house when I was not home and left a note in the mailbox. They provided an extremely high estimate that included additional work that I had not asked for. When I contacted the company, they tried to sell me additional services. They do not work on weekends, which I thought was very unreasonable for a company of this type. In order to meet with them, I would need to take time off of work during the week.

As a new customer, I made plans to stay home and meet with the work crew to ensure that everything went well with the services provided. The crew lead was very professional and polite. The crew did an excellent job on the dethatching of my lawn, using a power rake machine and 3 additional workers to bag up the loose dead grass using manual rakes and leaf blowers. My lawn was in dire need of dethatching since this service had not been done in several years. The dethatching was by far the most labor intensive service provided and Just Aeration did a superb job. All of the loose dead thatch grass was bagged. The core aeration, lime treatment, and overseeding were also well done. My lawn looks great and I am very pleased with the services provided. I would definitely recommend Just Aeration to others for great service at a reasonable price.

We have had service with them for 6+ years. They do a great job and the lawn looks great. The office staff are polite and professional, the service is done at appropriate times depending on the season and current weather, so it is very effective.

I've used Campbell Landscaping for several years and will continue to do so. My lawn's never looked better!

Very good job, hard working crew. very satisfied. I did yearly contract for complete lawn care.

Scheduled Just Aeration to aerate, overseed and fertilize. Did the job very professionally and I am very happy with the results. I dethatched the lawn before they came for the services above. 14 days after service was performed, I had a very nice lush green healthy lawn again. You have to follow the recommendations they provide you as far as watering requirements; otherwise you won't get good results.

Just Aeration LLC sent out a 2 man crew and they did the de-thatching first. This helped to get rid of a lot of weeds and thin out any dead grass. Then they did the core aeration to help the soil breathe and loosen up from years of walking on & mowing the lawn. They added some grass seed and starter fertilizer and recommended that we water the lawn once a day for a couple of weeks to let the new grass get started. Hopefully our lawn will look better in the spring now that we have had the work done

My biggest complaint is that my lawn has never looked so bad. I contacted them as soon as the crab grass started taking over, and I even had Mark look at it. He didn't suggest a solution. With all of the treatments they did, the lawn should be in good shape. I recently emailed Mark to ask him what they were going to do about the crab grass and never got a reply. The other issue was the reseeding. The person who did this was in a hurry and paid no attention at all. He flung grass seed into areas that I have been trying to keep free of grass for years, like flower beds. I had Mark look at that too and he said I could take care of it myself. I will definitely not use them anymore.

Excellent. Be sure to scheduled far enough in advance to be able to water lawn before aerating, if needed. Provider gives excellent directions on prep for aeration and to ensure germination. Also very responsive. Be prepared: Overseeding requires a lot of effort on the homeowner's part, to dethatch the lawn, if needed, and to water before aerating if the soil is very dry, then to keep the lawn watered daily for at least ten days to ensure germination. New grass was visible approximately one month after the service, just as the provider said it would.

The company did an excellent job; they were very professional, competent and even did a couple of extra services that they did not charge for. We highly recommend this company.

We have a large corner lot with lots of mature landscaping, including shrubs that you have to get up on a ladder to trim. We skipped the Fall clean-up last year, so the yard was a mess! Bob's crew of 5 arrived at 8:45am and stayed until 7:30pm and did a fabulous job! Several neighbors called to find out who had done the work. The crew was thorough, worked steadily, were very careful and thoughtful about moving furniture and planters when needed and put everything back. They were cheerful, friendly and eager to please. Bob is definitely not the cheapest service on the block, but he is extremely knowledgeable, makes recommendations and suggestions, and his crew is great.

Having recently moved from the Waldorf, MD area, I thought it was really important to give my thanks and public recognition to Wayne and the good people at MRW Lawns who cared for my lawn over a period of 15 years. They provided a full course of 5-6 treatments throughout the growing season. We periodically used their other services, such as soil chemical analysis, lawn dethatching, core aeration, and over-seeding. There was never any nagging pressure to up-sell their services. They always came when scheduled, didn't leave fertilizer pellets all over the pavement, and were courteous and professional in every possible way. With simple cutting the lawn always looked green and healthy. Even in the dry summers the deep rooted turf came back to green with a good rain. I couldn't be happier with the care and value I received from MRW. Although MRW was not the FIRST lawn service we used over the years, they certainly were both the BEST and LAST.

Mr. Nutter and his company completely restored our foundation landscape plantings. The mulch beds and lawn were completely overtaken with weeds and had no definition left within them. They ripped all the old plantings up, tilled up the beds, put a sharp edge in and granular weed preventer in the beds, then proceeded to do the planting. They were very professional in the way they did things. All my trees and shrubs were fertilized after installation, and proper planting techniques were used to ensure the health and sustainability of the planting (such as root scoring, planting the proper height above the ground, best face forward) etc. After planting they mulched and watered everything in. Once they were done with the landscape design portion, they dethatched, aerated, over-seeded and fertilized my front lawn. Wow was I in for a surprise. A little more than 4 weeks later the lawn looked brand new just as I had moved in nearly 24 years ago.

We needed to completely redo our front, side and back yard last year with design and new sod. We looked to Premium but went with another company when we had some issues with a sales person that is no longer with Premium. I guess we should have gone with them initially. After the very expensive work that we had done last year by another company - that company had issues in doing our routine ongoing maintenance (i guess they were okay getting the big job, but not okay on an ongoing basis) and we had problems with some of the work that they did. After giving them many tries to correct their issues, we terminated our agreement with them, interviewed the companies we looked at initially, and met with Ritchie from Premium and decided to go with them for the remainder of this year, and hopefully going forward. We are now using Premium to ensure the continuity of our new, expensive yard. They mow like clockwork, Ritchie is responsive with my questions about problems we may be having, and we're looking forward to a successful ongoing relationship. I would recommend them highly.

I joined Angie's List in order to find someone to help me fix my lawn, which was in great need of repair. I made the mistake of choosing a very highly rated Angie's List provider's referral instead of hiring someone who had many references on the list. I REALLY wanted to be happy with the services provided. This seems to be a one man operation and the gentleman who runs it is very enthusiastic about his work. He exuded passion in making lawns look good. Unfortunately, his passion did not translate into a healthy lawn. In fact, my lawn looks worse than when he started doing work. My lawn has continued to erode and is more patchy than ever before. The gentleman told me that he would conduct a 30-60-90 plan, but after the first session, I never heard from him again. I purposefully didn't reach out because I felt it was his responsibility to go after the business and to follow-up with the client. This never took place. When I reached him a few months later he questioned why I waited so long to complain. Well, I wanted to give him a chance. When I informed him that I was going to write a review, he wrote me the following after calling me unreasonable: and quot;Bear in mind any information that is found to be false and damaging to the individual person or company, there are provisions in the law to remedy such false accusation, defamation of character or slander.and quot; I come from the school of thought that you try to make your customer happy. This gentleman prefers to deal over e-mail, when I believe much could have been sorted through his having taken the time to call me. My lawn continues to look horrible, but this experience gave me the opportunity to try and do some work myself. It's certainly much cheaper than what I spent and seems to have had no effect. I would never do business or hire this company again.

Personally I'm a green thumb and enjoy landscaping my yard however; I was tired of dragging bags of fertilizer and seed every year to maintain my lawn. My lawn generally looks good, but I was having a problem getting rid of the weeds. Throughout the spring and summer different types of weeds would sprout and it was very frustrating because I wanted the perfect golf course lawn. People would say my lawn looked good but, I was not satisfied. Each year I would aerate, re-seed, dethatch and fertilize my lawn, but now I'm tired of doing all of the work. I don't mind cutting and trimming my lawn, however, I'm tired of treating it, so I went looking for a company that would give me the golf course look by the way of treating it. True Alternative Lawn Care was the company that fit my needs. They were very courteous explaining what my lawn needed and I was impressed with the estimate and the review of my lawn. The representative even told me the names of every weed in my yard. So all that being said they have been treating my lawn and the results are outstanding! The first treatment turned the entire lawn deep dark green, attacked the weeds and immediately killed a patch of weeds that started growing in the back corner of my yard due to the water runoff in which I could not get rid of no matter what type of weed killer I applied. After the first treatment I received a courtesy call and they came back out to review the progress of my lawn. I'm not trying to brag, but I was very familiar with lawn treatment so I was waiting to see if True Alternative Lawn Care knew what they were doing and not just trying to take my money and rush through my yard like other companies I've experienced. I have to be honest; I am completely satisfied and would recommend True Alternative Lawn Care to anyone! To make a long story short the treatments are reasonable and I also have the golf course lawn I want and have been working for years to grow!
