April 2021 Lawn of the Month Winners

The start of spring has been nothing short of amazing for Virginia Green lawns. We are excited to announce our April Lawn of the Month winners! With OVER 140 submissions, it was EXTREMELY difficult to choose, as we wish everyone could be a winner since all of the lawns submitted look amazing this spring. If you weren’t chosen, next month is another opportunity to show off your lawn. Remember, each month is a new chance to win $75 toward a future application.

First, we have the Kisner family from North Chesterfield, Virginia. The Kisner family has been a part of the Virginia Green family for the past four years. With their submission they stated, “Our yard is beautiful! Thank you so much for your awesome service! Since the pandemic, folks in our neighborhood have been walking outdoors. So often they will comment on our yard (and actually have been for years since we started with VA Green!). Someone just the other day stopped and took a picture!!” Your lawn indeed looks beautiful this spring! Now we know why people in your neighborhood comment on your yard and stop and take pictures.

Now, we have the Beltz family from Earlysville, Virginia. With their submission they stated, “We’ve been with Virginia Green for over 3 years now and have the Estate Lawn Care Plan and have been extremely pleased. All of our neighbors compliment us on how beautiful our lawn is! Thanks to Virginia Green.” You’re very welcome, Beltz family. Your lawn looks beautiful and weed free this spring. Keep up the great work!

Next, we have the Domson family from Richmond, Virginia. The Domson family was submitted for the April lawn of the month contest by their neighbor, Ms. Baruch. With Ms. Baruch’s submission, she said, “As I’m sure you know, the Domson family installed this fab Japanese Garden in front of their house. It was a real topic of conversation as it went in, as you can imagine, but has turned out to be perfectly beautiful and well designed by Junko, the designer for the Japanese gardens at Maymont. Dr. Domson went to Japan with Junko to research gardens and it’s an amazing story! I know you do their turf and it’s like green carpet! I think they should win lawn of the month for April.” Virginia Green thinks they should win too. Their lawn and landscape are immaculate! It’s amazing to hear that Dr. Domson went to Japan to do research on their gardens and we’re happy to be a part of their lawn’s looking amazing as well.

Fourth, we have the Webber family from Spotsylvania, Virginia. The Webber family have been with Virginia Green for the past 11 months and are on the Premium Lawn Care program. With their submission they wrote, “Virginia Green, I am so pleased with the transformation of my lawn. I was using one of your competitors most of last summer and was seeing only a little reduction in weeds, so I switched to Virginia Green. In two months, I could see a difference in color as well. The lawn looked green and healthy. Virginia Green aerated and overseeded in the fall. I am amazed at the difference it has made this spring. The dead patches are filling in and the dark green lawn is thick. I finally have the lawn I always wanted. It has inspired me to improve the landscaping in my rear yard. Thank you, Virginia Green!” Your lawn has definitely transformed since aeration and seeding in the fall. We’re happy that you finally have the lawn you always wanted.

Next up is the Boyance family from Midlothian, Virginia. The Boyance family have been with Virginia Green for the past seven years and are on the Premium Lawn Care program. With their submission they said, “Having a hard sloped lawn makes it difficult. Since Virginia Green has taken over, it looks thick, green, and great. I get compliments on my lawn all the time and have several of my neighbors now using Virginia Green as well!” Your sloped lawn is worth the trouble and it’s great having you as a long-standing customer for the past seven years. Your deep green turf is looking great and thick.

Sixth, we have the Cassada family from Ashburn, Virginia. The Cassada family have been with Virginia Green for the past eight months and are on the Residential Lawn Care program. With their submission they included, “I signed up with you all last year and I have been extremely happy with the results. I have worked with several different companies over the years, but my lawn was never quite what I wanted until now. I have always taken great care with my lawn and have invested a lot, but I know it takes partnering with a company like yours to get really good results. I saw the results within just a few months and this spring the lawn is amazing. Your team has always been professional and thorough each time and the quality of product and the skill and expertise you bring are unmatched in this area. I have never received so many compliments this month! Thank you!” Thank you, Cassada family, for trusting in Virginia Green to turn your lawn into one you’re finally happy with. Your lawn is looking great this spring. We’re happy to hear that the services you have been receiving have been professional and we’ve been able to assist you with any questions you may have about your lawn.

Seventh, we have the Petersen family from Henrico, Virginia. The Petersen family have been a part of the Virginia Green family for the past four and half years. With their submission they asserted, “I have had five homes that I have built lawns from scratch. Most of them turned out great. In our current home, which will be our last home, I worked for six seasons on the lawn and every year it would never survive the summer heat. After the first season of Virginia Green’s Estate Care applications, I knew it would last through the summer and it did. Now our granddaughter can play in the lawn with bare feet. We will occasionally set up a baby pool on the lawn for the weekend and I have no concerns with the grass remaining Virginia Green! I think you guys should print T Shirts that have your logo and the phrase ‘I fought the lawn and the lawn won. Then I called Virginia Green.’ ” We love the phrase you suggested. Definitely catchy! We’re happy to hear that your lawn has been able to survive through the summer due to our fungicide applications and that your granddaughter now has a lawn she can play in and enjoy.

Next, we have the Burnette family from Williamsburg, Virginia. The Burnette family have been with Virginia Green for the past three months and are on the Premium Lawn Care program. With their submission they stated, “We love our lawn because the kids can freely run around with bare feet and it’s lush like carpet!” And a beautiful green carpet too! The best lawn is one the whole family can enjoy—and we’re ecstatic to hear your kids do!

Now, we have the Flowers family from Richmond, Virginia. The Flowers family have been with Virginia Green since 2015 and are on the Premium Lawn Care program. With their submission they stated, “What do I love most about my lawn? This time of year, with so much pollen and dust, my lush lawn improves my air quality. A yard covered in weeds and bald spots is prone to trap dust and pollen. A healthy, lush yard will allow air to flow and result in the air quality being improved as healthy turf generates oxygen. My lawn also promotes relaxation.” You’re absolutely right! A healthy lawn improves air quality and helps generate oxygen during this allergy season. Your lawn definitely makes you want to grab a good book and relax lying down.

Tenth, we have the Smith family from Zion Crossroads, Virginia, who have been with Virginia Green for 12 years total! With their submission they stated, “We used Virginia Green for 11 years while in Chesterfield. We downsized and now use VA Green Charlottesville at our new home. We have been on the VA Green program for 1 year at our new place and the results speak for themselves. Barry, our VA Green tech, has taken a shabby clay soil-based yard and turned it into a lush green lawn that we are proud of. The lawn may be small, but it is impressive front to back. Thanks, VA Green.” Thank you, Smith family, for being long-lasting customers and staying committed to us when you moved. We’re so happy to know that Barry has transformed your lawn to one that you all are proud of. From the looks of the front, we know the back looks great too!

Next is the Schulkers family from Powhatan, Virginia. The Schulkers family have been with Virginia Green for the past eight months. With their submission, they included, “We know the secret: If you want your lawn to be the best it can be, you have to let VA Green take care of it. Years ago, we tried several other lawn care companies with cheaper fees, but Grandpa’s old saying, ‘You get what you pay for,’ comes through loud and clear.” Thank you, Schulkers family, for telling us what you love about your lawn. Be sure to spread that secret to everyone you come in contact with—sharing is caring.

Now, we have the Menke family from Fredericksburg, Virginia. The Menke family have been a part of the Virginia Green family for the past two and half years. With their submission they stated, “We love our lawn and we especially like all the compliments we get from all of our neighbors!

Thank you so much for doing such a great job and taking such pride in your work. ?” You’re very welcome. We appreciate the many referrals you have sent to us.

Thirteenth, we have the English family from Hopewell, Virginia. They have been with Virginia Green for a year and one month now and are a part of the Premium Lawn Care program. With their submission they stated, “Our lawn has shown great improvement since last year when we signed up for Virginia Green. My husband enjoys getting out on the weekends and making sure our lawn is in top shape.” It’s amazing what just a year can do to your lawn. Your husband has done a great job of maintaining it as well.

With their submission, they stated, “We have used your services for a couple of years and have been very pleased. I love how green the lawn looks this time of year in contrast to the dogwoods and azaleas that are currently blooming. I love that we have so many less weeds in the lawn now, than we did prior to you all taking over lawn maintenance for us—many thanks!!” Your lawn has a beautiful deep green turf, and your azaleas make your landscape look stunning and are blooming beautifully.

Now, we have the Vranas family from Henrico, Virginia. The Vranas family have been with Virginia Green for the past 11 months and are on the Premium Lawn Care program. With their submission they acknowledged, “I purchased my home 8 years ago and year over year, the yard was becoming more weeds than grass. Doing everything I tried, nothing worked. So, Virginia Green took over and the yard has a consistent, beautiful, carpet look. Thank you, thank you, thank you!” Vranas family, we couldn’t have done it without your partnership and help. A beautiful green carpet is the perfect way to describe your lawn. The walkway leading up to your front door is dazzling and really does your lawn wonders!

Seventeenth, we have the Tharin family from Midlothian, Virginia. The Tharin family have been with Virginia Green for the past two and half years. With their submission they included, “When we first moved into our neighborhood August 2018, we contacted Virginia Green. Our new-build yard needed a lot of help! Soon, we were the envy of our neighbors. They felt bullied (haha) and also enrolled with Virginia Green. Now in 2021, my neighborhood HOA, Centerpointe Crossing, has hired Virginia Green to perform their magic on all yards!❤️ This is where it all began… those stripes! ?Thank you again for your service!” Thank you, Tharin family. We love to hear that your entire HOA property is using Virginia Green to treat their lawns and is receiving our care.

Those wonderful mowing patterns are really going to help with reducing soil compaction. Keep up the great work!
