Message from Gil: Rain, Damage, and the Fix Your Lawn Needs

August is here, and with it comes a break from the peak summer heat. Cooler days are ahead, and now is the perfect time to give your lawn a little extra attention as we head into fall.

Aeration and seeding season is just about to start, and our team at Virginia Green is ready to help your lawn recover from the stress of summer. This service loosens compacted soil, allowing water, air, and nutrients to reach the roots more effectively. When combined with our custom Gold Tag seed blend, a premium mix of Tall Fescue and Kentucky Bluegrass, your lawn gets the strong foundation it needs for healthier growth.

Lately, our region has experienced an unusually high amount of rain. Excess moisture creates the perfect environment for lawn diseases to take hold, which can leave patches looking weak or discolored. Aeration and seeding are important steps to help restore these damaged areas and build up your lawn’s resistance for the seasons ahead.

Appointments fill up quickly, so now is the time to reserve your spot. If you sign up and prepay by August 31, you will receive 5 percent off your service. You can register by logging into your account and selecting “Add Services,” or just give us a call and we will take care of the rest.

To keep your lawn in good shape, make sure it receives about 1.5 inches of water each week, ideally in the early morning. Mow high with sharp blades to support deep root growth. And if you have not done a soil test recently, consider checking to see if your lawn could benefit from lime or potassium.

We appreciate your continued trust in Virginia Green. Our team is committed to giving you the best service possible and helping your lawn stay thick, healthy, and beautiful. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Thank you for choosing Virginia Green, and enjoy the rest of your summer!
