Lawn Care Costs

You want your lawn to grow thick and healthy so that it naturally resists harmful diseases and insects.

Our lawn care program includes five fertilizer treatments applied at strategic times throughout the season. In addition, it also consists of four treatments devoted solely to weed control, grub control treatment, soil tests, and limestone applications.

Townhome Pricing: Starting at $28 per treatment (10 treatments per year)

Single-Family Home Pricing (5,000 sq ft+): Starting at $59 per treatment (10 treatments per year)

Aeration & Overseeding Costs

Aeration and overseeding are the cornerstones of our lawn care program, as they enhance the overall results. We can’t emphasize enough how important this is. It’s a lawn maintenance cost worth investing in.

You can tell a big difference between a lawn that has been aerated and overseeded and one that has not.

During aeration, we pull small cores of soil throughout the lawn to allow moisture, oxygen, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the soil, where they are needed most. When seeding is performed at the same time, it increases turf density. We recommend aeration and overseeding once per season for established lawns.

Townhome Pricing: Starting at $109

Single-Family Home Pricing (5,000 sq ft+): Starting at $250

Lawn Mowing Prices in Alexandria, VA

Whether you’re too busy to fit in time to mow, don’t have the space to store a mower on your property, or don't feel like doing it, this vital lawn maintenance service can be left to the pros for less than you may assume.

This is a task that homeowners often tell us they love getting off their plates.

Townhome Pricing: Starting at $20 weekly (approximately 36 visits)

Mosquito, Flea & Tick Control Pricing

Nothing can ruin outdoor time more than worrying about pests like mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks. Not only do they pose a nuisance, but many of these insects can also carry diseases, making them a threat.

Fortunately, investing in professional mosquito, flea, and tick control, customized to your property’s needs, can ensure these pests are taken care of.

Townhome Pricing: Starting at $59 per treatment (9 treatments per year)

Single-Family Home Pricing (5,000 sq ft+): Starting at $69 per treatment (9 treatments per year)

Landscape Bed Weeding Costs

The landscaped areas surrounding your lawn are also essential to maintain as they contribute to the overall aesthetics of your property. This includes your property’s plant beds.

Weeds in your plant beds are a nuisance that you likely don’t want to deal with. Weeds take away from the beauty of your beds, but they are also a hassle to get rid of.

You may be surprised to know that you can have those services handled by a professional for less cost than you might have expected.

Pruning Costs

Keeping your surrounding trees and shrubs in pristine condition may require periodic pruning. Pruning is not only beneficial to the health of your plants, but it also helps keep everything looking tidy.

Whether this is a task you’d rather not do yourself or one that you’re worried you might do wrong, it may be a valuable addition to include pruning in your maintenance contract.

Townhome Pricing: Starting at $65 monthly (approximately eight visits per year) and $97 bi-monthly (approximately five visits per year)

Single-Family Home Pricing (5,000 sq ft+): Starting at $120 monthly (approximately eight visits per year) and $150 bi-monthly (approximately five visits per year)

Plant Health Care Pricing in Northern Virginia

For your small trees and shrubs to truly perform at their best, they require vital nutrients, which they may not be getting. Just like lawn fertilization helps your lawn look its very best, plant fertilization will have the same benefits for your surrounding trees and shrubs.

Fertilization is an essential component of a plant health care program, which also includes pest and disease control. If you’re looking to protect your landscape, this is a beneficial investment.

Townhome Pricing: Starting at $39 per treatment (7 treatments per year)

Single-Family Home Pricing (5,000 sq ft+): Starting at $50 (7 treatments per year)

Perimeter Pest Control Programs & Pricing

Pests such as spiders, millipedes, centipedes, ants, and other creepy crawlies that may be around your home's foundation can be prevented from entering with perimeter pest control treatments.

When you bundle this service with mosquito, flea, and tick control, you can save money. But even as a standalone service, it’s still affordable.

Townhome Pricing: Starting at $49 per treatment (we recommend five treatments per year, spring through fall)

Single-Family Home Pricing (5,000 sq ft+): Starting at $69 per treatment (we recommend five treatments per year, spring through fall)
