What is Justin's Yard & Garden?

Simple, reliable yard maintenance packages designed for townhome owners.

What's included in a lawn care program?

Our seasonal program includes fertilizing, aeration, and spot weed treatment timed to Northern Virginia's growing season, with adjustments based on how your lawn responds.

How often should I fertilize my lawn?

Most Northern Virginia lawns need 3–4 fertilizer applications per year — early spring, late spring, early fall, and late fall. We time them to your grass type and conditions.

What's the difference between aeration and dethatching?

Aeration pulls small plugs of soil to relieve compaction and let air, water, and nutrients reach roots. Dethatching removes the dead layer of grass (thatch) on top of the soil. Most lawns need aeration; few need dethatching.

Is your lawn care safe for kids and pets?

We use products labeled safe for kids and pets when dry (usually within a few hours). We'll always tell you when it's safe to use the lawn again after a treatment.

Can you fix a thin, patchy lawn?

Yes. We assess the cause (compaction, shade, poor soil, disease) and build a plan — usually aeration, overseeding, and a feeding program to thicken it up.
