Message from Gil: A Winter Update & Looking Ahead
So far, this winter has brought a mix of conditions, including recent snowfall. While the weather has occasionally delayed work, our Virginia Green Service Leaders have been out performing services whenever possible, targeting winter annuals and preparing lawns for spring. We've been applying lime and potassium to prepare lawns for the growing season ahead, and our team continues to refine their expertise through agronomic training. As daylight increases, fescue lawns will regain their rich green color throughout the month.

Message from Gil: Preparing for Winter & 2025
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.
Message from Gil: Fall Lawn Care is Underway
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.
Message from Gil: Aeration and Seeding Season Has Begun!
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.
Message from Gil: The Arrival of August and Aeration and Seeding Season
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.

Our proprietary, Gold Tag blend of Tall Fescue and Kentucky Bluegrass seed ensures the best start for your lawn.
Message from Gil: A Scorching Start to Summer
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.
Prepare Your Lawn for a Spectacular Summer
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.
