With their submission, they stated, “Our new construction home is right on top of a giant rock slab; the irrigation system installed wrecked the yard with big rocks that were churned up, and there is a steep grade on the side of the home to maintain.

Tenth, we have the Sluss family from Sandston, Virginia. The Sluss family has been part of the Virginia Green family for the past six years and is on the Premium Lawn Care program. With their submission, they informed us, “We have been a part of the Virginia Green family for several years and I must say that I could not be happier.  We started with a yard . . .  definitely not a lawn.  Weed and crabgrass were a big issue even though I worked in my yard regularly, using many different hardware store products to try and get things to improve.  I added an irrigation system that the weeds really loved, but it was still a challenge to get new grass growth to take hold and survive.  After partnering with VG I was told not to expect a complete turnaround with just one year because there was a LONG WAY to go.  It isn’t the biggest yard around but not the smallest either.  Most important is, it’s mine and I wanted it nice. I grew up learning to grow flowers from my mom and I had that down, but the grass was still a challenge.  After the first year I saw some improvement just as they said.  At the end of the season, I had VG do the aeration and overseeding while I took care of the lime (which was also badly needed).  Springtime brought continued improvement, but some weeds were still a struggle (no panic though because my tech had said all along some would take longer to get under control). Last year . . . my LAWN (no longer just a yard) was doing great!  Still some crabgrass and a couple of other things still trying to hang on but unless you got really close you would never know.  Most of the spring, summer, and into the fall I had to mow twice a week or minimum of every 5 days.  What a great problem to have after all the years (been in this location 35+ years).  I thought about sending pictures last year but never got around to it.  Last fall at time to aerate and reseed I got the idea that I would do a real dethatching on my yard and maybe overcome the last of the crabgrass that still wanted to hang around.  I did my research, bought a dethatching machine, and went at it. OH, MY GOODNESS . . . when I was finished, my yard looked like a war zone (35 years my yard had never seen this done).  I thought I had really set myself back years!  What could I do but go ahead and aerate, reseed, and hope for the best?!  VG continued to do their regular visits, I used good seed, and let the irrigation run as far into the fall as temperatures would allow.  WOW!  Jackpot!  This spring my yard has never looked so good!  I’m the guy neighbors come to for lawn advice now and of course . . . Virginia Green is always a part of the advice I give.  I tell them you can’t buy and put down a lot of what you get from VG for less than they cost.  Money well spent!  Also, thanks to my neighbor a couple doors over, who was already using VG and passed on some good advice . . . Thanks. ” Wow Pastor Sluss. Thank you for sharing with us the transformation of your lawn. Virginia Green is happy to hear that you now have a lawn that you love and are proud of! Continue to keep up the great work and thank you for sending referrals this way.

Eleventh, we have the Gibson family from Hampton, Virginia. The Gibson family has been with Virginia Green for the past year and a half and are on the Premium Lawn Care program. Your lawn is looking great out in Hampton, Virginia. The well you have in your yard is nice and is great for supplying your lawn with the nutrients that it needs.

Next up, we have the Thomas family from Richmond, Virginia. The Thomas family has been with Virginia Green for the past six years and is on the Estate Lawn Care program. With their submission, they wrote, “Our lawn is a particularly awesome thing this time of year and it always stands out in the neighborhood. When we have family or friends visit for the first time, we tell them to look for the Virginia Green lawn.  ‘Trust us, you will know what we mean.’ No one has ever missed the house.” What a great way for your friends and family to know what a Virginia Green lawn looks like in the neighborhood. Your trees and shrubs have blossomed beautifully this spring. They and your lawn are something you can’t miss.

Now, we have the Bradley family from Quinton, Virginia, who has been with Virginia Green for the past three years and is on the Premium Lawn Care program. With their submission, they stated, “I love the levelness and size of lawn, making it extremely manageable for a 63-year-old retired guy, as well as lushness that Virginia Green helps me to maintain since becoming a customer!!!” We love your lawn as well Bradley family. We’re happy to know that we can help out a retired man such as yourself with your lawn. You’ve done a wonderful job.

Next, we have the Keenan family from Woodbridge, Virginia. The Keenan family has been part of the Virginia Green family for the past year and a half and is on the Premium Lawn Care program. With their submission of their beautiful lawn, they stated, “Yardwork is the perfect stress reliever, and there is always something you can do after a stressful day at work. It is a great way to stay active without having to have much planning, and the best part is you get to kick back and relax with friends and family in a beautiful location right outside your door!  I’ve been working with Virginia Green since I bought my house in 2021 and with the help of my service technician, Shane, we’ve made it a lush, beautiful place to socialize with the neighbors.” Your lawn is without a doubt lush and beautiful, and you can tell it’s a great place to entertain family and friends. The thickness of your turf this time of year and the vibrant color really make the front of your home pop! We’re happy to know that doing yardwork is something that you enjoy.

The Buckley family in Chesterfield, Virginia, is next up, and they are on the Estate Lawn Care program. With their submission, they wrote, “Virginia Green has been taking care of our lawn for 4 years and the picture speaks for itself. Our technician does a fantastic job and always gives great customer service.  It is great to sit outside and relax while enjoying our lush green grass.” Your picture says a thousand words for sure. With aeration and seeding done last fall, it created a lush and healthy lawn. We’re happy to know that your technician has been providing great customer service to you over the past four years.

Last but not least, we have the Lawrence family from Chesterfield, Virginia, as well. The Lawrence family has been with Virginia Green for the past two and a half years and is on the Premium Lawn Care program. With their submission, they stated, “I have always invested countless hours to improve the health and look of our yard. Overall, it looks great. I noticed how quickly it greened up this spring compared to my neighbor’s yard who does it himself. It is looking healthier each year due to the consistent feeding that it receives from Virginia Green. Thank you for helping me to have a healthy-looking yard that I can enjoy. BTW, I typically leave my sign out until the next application. I can’t take all the credit for the way our lawn looks. :)))” Thank you, Lawrence family, for allowing us to continue to service your astonishing green, lush, and radiant lawn. This spring, lawns have taken a turn for the better and your lawn is certainly one of them! We love your green door and how it pops in comparison to your lawn. That Virginia Green sign really adds some extra flair too. 😊
