Easy, Affordable Lawn Care Services in Washington DC

The United States capital has regular winter snowfalls but hot summers. This, combined with DC being as electrifying as NYC, makes growing and maintaining a lawn a huge time-sink. That’s where LawnStarter, which offers services like landscaping, mowing, and fertilization, comes in.

Common Grass Types in Washington, DC: The five most common types of grass in Washington, DC are Bermudagrass, tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, centipedegrass, and Zoysiagrass.

Spring Lawn Care Tips for DC: Rake your lawn to wake up the grass after being dormant and compacted all winter. Overseed, fertilize, and dethatch, but skip aerating. Apply fresh mulch, start up the irrigation system, and bring out your lawn mower. It's also a good idea to clean the gutters, prune and trim your bushes, and apply pre-emergent herbicide to ward off the weeds.

Fall Lawn Care Tips for DC: Keep mowing until the grass stops growing. Water when needed as long as the temps don't drop below freezing. Rake often, aerate, apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer and seed to fill in bare or burned spots, and eliminate lawn pests.

Common Lawn Pests: Cicada killer wasps, white grubs, mining bees, sod webworms, scoliid wasps, chinch bugs, and green June beetles.

Common Lawn Diseases: Brown patch, dollar spot, leaf blight, and rust are common issues homeowners have to deal with when they have a lawn. You'll notice bare and/or discolored patches of your grass. Be sure to treat the problem right away to stop the spreading of the disease, but if you're not sure what to do, reach out to LawnStarter. Our pros will identify the diseases, mold, or fungus and create a tailored treatment plan.

How LawnStarter Can Take Care of Your Lawn: LawnStarter offers routine lawn maintenance, bush trimming, leaf removal, weed control, fertilization, and aeration. We also offer landscaping, tree trimming, and sod installation services. Working with LawnStarter couldn’t be easier –– just call or click, and we’ll send you an instant quote.

Greetings - this was the second time that Ousama provided lawn services for my home. The first time, I was singularly impressed he simply did an outstanding job. For the second cut, I was prepared to manage my expectations, but when i returned home from my trip and saw my yard, I just smiled. Then i realized that excellence is Ousama’s standard. His work on my yard is exemplary. Thank you Ousama for your outstanding service.

Lawn Care by Chris Stewart (A Closer Look Residential Inspections LLC)

★★★★

"As part of my regular lawn service I feel most the overgrowth should have been cover but I was informed that this was not part of my every two week service, which would keep this area under control. I opted for this additional service and it was not done not to completion in my opinion. There were shrubs left unremoved and veins still growing on the side of my house, which is not considered "weeding" for an additional service charge. I am not a yard expert by any means but when my pervious service professional, from the same company, mowed my lawn they would take care of this area at least once a month. Since I was switch between two new different professionals this area has grown to what it is today and it makes me question continuing to use the LawnStarter service further. The work done was of decent quality, but I would perfer a better level of communication on what is actually including in my quoted price as I included everything I needed removed in my submitted pictures."
