Taking care of your lawn and landscape in Alpharetta and Milton, Georgia can definitely interfere with weekend plans. Maintaining a good stand of turf requires mowing, trimming, fertilizing, weed control, problem solving skills and trial and error. 

If you'd rather spend more time doing other things, consider hiring a lawn care service to take the worry and hassle out of the fertilization and weed control for your yard.


Here are some tips to ensure that you hire the lawn treatment company that will do the job right.

  1. Decide what you want from a service. Most lawncare companies offer fertilizing, weed control, lawn-damaging insect control, disease control, aerating, seeding and small tree and shrub care. 

  2. What type of fertilizers do they use? Are they slow release, quick release, or organic? Liquid or granular fertilizers? Do they treat your yard individually or do they use a cookie cutter program? (your yard may not need what your neighbor’s lawn needs)

  3. Talk to friends and neighbors and see who they use who use lawn services.

  4. Ask about prices and how many treatments or services are done yearly (cheaper is not always better, with a lawn care service you typically get what you pay for). What are the treatments and when? Do they offer free services calls or retreats if problems arise between services?

  5. Check to see if you can save money by paying an annual fee up front.

  6. Make sure the Company is licensed to apply lawn-care products as required by your state.

  7. Look at online reviews for the company to help make your decision.


Greenfeet Lawncare provides an 8 application program. It  includes pre-emergent weed control both spring and fall, these applications are done before the weeds germinate, which means the grass maybe brown or going dormant if the turf is Bermuda or Zoysia grass. These applications are very important and you don’t want to miss them. Throughout the growing season we provide organic-based granular fertilizers and to finish up the year we provide a Lime application to improve the ph level and increase nutrient availability to the grass.
