Your best fit will depend on what you think of the trade-off between DIY work and the expense of hiring a pro. If you decide to do everything yourself, you don't need to pay for labor, but this option will necessitate the most effort from you. If you choose a full-service lawn care company, they'll take care of the labor and logistics, but you will need to invest more money up front. Subscription companies are somewhere in the middle. They provide the materials, and you do the application.

During the hottest months of the year, you'll want to tackle soil care, seeding, and overseeding. As it starts to get cooler, you might want to think about winterization, and leaf and snow removal, if necessary. Year-round, you should consider tree and shrub care, weed and pest control, and aeration and fertilization as needed. The upsides of hiring a lawn care company include helping you determine the optimal schedule for your lawn.

When taking care of your lawn, consistency is key. Some services (like mowing) are best done every one to two weeks. Other services, like pest and weed control, can be done less frequently. Factors that could affect your lawn care schedule include the condition of your lawn when you first begin services, the weather in your part of Virginia, and the time of year.

Many lawn care providers list their ingredients on their websites. If this information is not provided on a company's website, call or email them and ask.
