Don't Wait To Protect Your System

With the shift in temperatures away from summer and into winter, plan ahead for winterizing your irrigation system by scheduling a visit from a contractor. We do suggest that you schedule this appointment for late November, around Thanksgiving time. This allows for water to be available for any warm days in the absence of rainfall.

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.

As the temperatures drop and we transition into fall, many homeowners in Virginia begin to notice an unwelcome change in their lawns—the return of cool-season weeds. While the cooler weather may feel like a relief after the summer heat, it also creates perfect conditions for pesky weeds like poa annua, chickweed, and henbit to establish themselves.

Whether you’re a Virginia Green customer or someone new to lawn care services, it’s important to understand why these weeds are thriving and what you can do to manage them effectively.

With the shift into fall weather, September's Lawn of the Month Winners look absolutely amazing! As the weather shifted from the summer heat into cooler fall weather, please remember to send in photos of your lawn as it changes seasons. The team at Virginia Green is always proud to see our positive impact, so remember to enter your property for a chance to win. Thank you!

Many customers notice mushrooms in their lawn after periods of rain or humidity and wonder if they’re harmful to their grass. The common concern is, “Mushrooms are a fungus—this can’t be good for my lawn!” In reality, having mushrooms is not harmful. Mushrooms are a sign that your soil contains organic material, which is a great start! Mushrooms help break down that organic material and leave your soil more fertile, contributing to a vibrant lawn.

Despite our hot, dry summer, August's Lawn of the Month Winners look absolutely stunning! As aeration and seeding season continues, please send in photos of your lawn as it sprouts new growth. Seeing your lawns is a true joy for the entire Virginia Green Team. Thank you!

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.
