The style of lawn care that is right for you depends on the amount of money you're willing to spend and how much work you're willing to do. Going with a full-service lawn care company will cost more, but will require the least work from you. On the other hand, handling everything yourself will mean you don't need to pay someone else, but will necessitate the most hard work and planning. Subscription companies fall between these two options — they provide the materials, and you do the application.

Throughout the year, you should be completing aeration and fertilization, tree and shrub care, and weed and pest control as needed. During the warmer months, you'll also want to add seeding/overseeding and soil care. When it starts to get cooler, you may need leaf and snow removal, and you might want to winterize your lawn. The benefits of using a lawn care company include receiving expert help to find the best schedule for your lawn.

Consistency is key when caring for your lawn. There are services like mowing that are best done every one to two weeks. Other services, like pest and weed control, can be done less often. Factors that could affect your lawn care schedule include the time of year, the weather in your part of Virginia, and the condition of your lawn when you first begin services.

Many lawn care providers have a list of ingredients on their websites. If you can't find a list of ingredients on a company's website, call or email them and ask.
