The vibrant colors of fall are all around us, and here at Virginia Green, we're seeing the benefits of this season's mild temperatures reflected in lush, healthy lawns. Our final treatment of the year will help keep your lawn in top shape by tackling pesky winter weeds like chickweed, henbit, and bittercress.

This year has brought unique challenges for lawn care. A short spring followed by a hot, dry summer tested the resilience of many lawns, and the surge of rain kept our team busy. Through it all, we sincerely appreciate your continued partnership and trust in Virginia Green. We understand this year’s weather had a greater impact on some lawns more than others, and we’re committed to helping them recover and thrive. As always, we’re here to support you, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any concerns.

September brought with it cooler weather and more frequent rain showers—perfect timing, as core aeration and seeding season is in full swing. Our crews have been out for a couple of weeks now, double core aerating and seeding with our proprietary blend of Virginia Green seed.

August is upon us, bringing cooler days and the promise of a thriving lawn. As we transition from the heat of July, it’s the perfect time to prepare your lawn for fall.

Aeration and seeding season is starting soon and Virginia Green associates are ready to get rolling. This essential service helps repair summer damage and improves soil health by enhancing water and oxygen flow to the roots. Our proprietary, Gold Tag blend of Tall Fescue and Kentucky Bluegrass seed ensures the best start for your lawn.

July has arrived, alongside high heat and humidity, marking a dramatic change from our cool spring weather. We’re finally getting a reprieve from the dry spell with seasonal rainstorms, helping irrigation. However, they can also contribute to turf-damaging lawn diseases.

After a productive spring for local lawns, June has arrived bringing hot summer weather along with much drier conditions. A lack of regular rainfall and more humidity can be hard on Tall Fescue lawns. Fescue is a drought tolerant grass, but try to water your lawn if possible 2-3 times a week, supplying 1.5 to 2 inches of water. Also, lawn diseases development increases dramatically this time of year with higher humidity, although the following steps can help alleviate some emerging issues:

Seeing Local Lawns Spring to Life

There is nothing quite like the sights, sounds and smells of spring, from the beautiful flowers in bloom, honeysuckle hanging in the trees and the smell of fresh cut grass on beautiful tall fescue lawns. Maybe we are a little biased at Virginia Green, but this is certainly our favorite season of the year. This season has gotten off to a great start and ample rain, sunshine and warm days have produced gorgeous lawns and landscapes.

Spring is officially here and lawns are thriving during National Lawn Care Month

Spring is officially here! The warm weather of the past two weeks is a vast improvement over the rainy and cloudy conditions of the past three winter months. We are delighted to see Virginia Green customers outside, mowing their lawns for the first time and working on their landscapes. Being outside on a beautiful Virginia Green lawn with flowers blooming, birds chirping, and tree’s leafing out remains something special. 

Spring is finally here, and at Virginia Green, we're all geared up and excited. It's the perfect time to get those lawns looking fantastic!

This year, with spring's delayed arrival, our eagerness to get started has only grown. Our Service Leaders are busy watching the grass turn a lush green, and we're seeing our customers begin to spend more time outside. It's a busy season for us, and we're ready to ensure everyone's lawns are top-notch.

So far, 2024’s winter weather has been cooperative despite excessive rain. The good news is all the products our Virginia Green service leaders apply need to be watered into the soil, so this eliminates a step for our homeowners. We have been outside working when we can, with Virginia Green Service Leaders pulling soil samples, sending these to Waypoint Labs in Memphis, and getting the results back to our customers much faster than in previous years.
