Lawncare Service by Hertzler & George GreenGuard

Hertzler & George GreenGuard is proud to offer Williamsburg’s only lawn care program certified by the Chesapeake Club. The Chesapeake Club provides guidelines for fertilizing that ensure the growth of strong, healthy grass – while keeping excess nutrients out of the Bay. Offering this program is a commitment we’ve made to our community and to our environment. If you’re not already on the program, may we serve you too? Together we can make a huge difference.

LAWN FERTILIZATION Request an Estimate
The key to plant health and beauty is in the roots. Most commercial and homeowner lawn programs ignore this fact. Not GreenGuard. With an emphasis on organic matter and caring for the entire plant, our series of well-timed and thorough applications yields a beautiful and environmentally healthy lawn that will be the envy of the neighborhood.

WEED CONTROL Request an Estimate
Keeping weeds at bay is a homeowner’s constant battle.  A preventative, vigilant approach results in less need for herbicides.  We are acutely aware of the effects of any chemicals we apply and strive to balance a lawn’s nutritional needs and its environmental impact.

DISEASE & INSECT MONITORING Request an Estimate
Brown patch and other diseases are an on-going issue for lawns in our area. Insects are an important part of the soil ecosystem but a few are detrimental to our lawns. In treating these problems, most companies and homeowners blanket-spray the entire lawn with harsh chemicals. We have found that a program using beneficial organisms or a system of spot-spraying yields far better results.

LAWN CORE AERATION Request an Estimate
Soil in our area tends to be heavy, with a high percentage of clay. When soil compacts, water and oxygen are prevented from getting to the roots where it is needed. Our process of core aeration extracts small cores from your lawn to loosen compacted soils. We have found that regular aeration is an effective way to improve a lawn’s health and appearance.
