How to choose a lawn care company in the Richmond area

Know your grass

Tall fescue, bermuda and zoysia need different care. A good company asks which you have before quoting.

Compare what is included per visit

Mowing only, or edging, blowing, trimming and weed control too? Get it in writing.

Time the big jobs for fall

Aeration and overseeding of fescue are usually best in early fall around Richmond.

Ask about clay and drainage

Compacted clay and runoff cause many lawn problems. A company that checks the soil and grade is looking at the cause.

Check insurance and licenses

Ask for proof of insurance, and for larger installations check licensing at dpor.virginia.gov.
