A pre-emergent stops crabgrass before it sprouts, and broadleaf control takes care of dandelion and clover.Crabgrass to clover

Barrier treatments every three to four weeks that knock back mosquitoes and ticks, so you can actually use the yard from spring through fall.Barrier treatments

Compost adds organic matter to Northern Virginia clay, feeds the soil and helps it hold water and nutrients.Feeds clay soil

We core aerate to open up compacted clay, then overseed with Barenbrug Blue Tag certified tall fescue. That's how a thin lawn gets thicker.Aerate and overseed
Your lawn's year
Tall fescue does its real growing in cool soil and spends July and August surviving. Your program follows that clock, and fall matters more than spring.

A winterizing feed goes into root reserves, so the lawn greens up earlier and deeper next spring.

No. Simply Turf is pay as you go, with no annual agreement and no cancellation fee, and you can start with a single visit. Most customers stay on the full season program because timing is what makes the results stick.
Late August through October, with mid-September to mid-October the best stretch. The soil is still warm for fast germination while the air cools, so seedlings root before winter. Spring seeding usually fails here because young fescue can't survive its first summer. There's more in when to aerate and overseed.
Color usually improves within one to two weeks of the first feeding, and broadleaf weeds die back over one to three weeks. Real density takes a full season, and fall aeration and overseeding speed that up.
Yes. We hold a Virginia pesticide business license (#14809), owner Patrick Klippen is a VDACS certified applicator (#141054), and we carry general liability insurance and will send a certificate of insurance on request.
Keep kids and pets off the lawn until it's dry, usually about two hours. Every pesticide we use is EPA registered and applied at its label rate by a Virginia certified applicator, and our fertilizers are organic based and slow release. Our guide to lawn fertilizer around kids and pets covers it in more detail.
No. We do turf health only, which means fertilization, weed control, aeration and overseeding, compost topdressing, and mosquito and tick control. If you need a mowing company, we're happy to point you to a neighbor who does it well.

If you're not happy, we keep working until it's resolved, and if you're still not satisfied we refund your most recent fertilization and weed control service.
I can't say enough good things about this company. Two seasons ago, our lawn was a disaster - just a mass of clover, creeping weeds and dandelions - not a single blade of grass. After Simply Turf started treating our front and back lawns, we started to see immediate improvement. I'm happy to say that after only two seasons (we're starting our third), our lawns are plush and deep green! Probably the nicest on our street. I highly recommend Simply Turf. They are affordable, knowledgeable, and they get results!
I had the aeration and over seeding today, and it was the best aeration I have ever received, and I have had many other companies do it over the years. They actually spent the time to make sure they hit all areas. The technician first walked yard and pre-seeded spots before aeration and they even left a small bag of seed for spots down the road. Excellent service, I was truly impressed with the tech and the service I received.
We have used Simply Turf for several seasons now and our lawn has never looked better. Patrick and his team are great to deal with and you can tell these guys love what they do. They notify you before and after each visit and are helpful anytime I have questions. Their prices are reasonable and we love that their services are safe for our family. We highly recommend Simply Turf to anyone who asks us why our lawn looks so nice!
Our lawn was heavily infested with Bermuda grass and other weeds. We contacted a company one of our neighbors uses and they felt our lawn was beyond help and that we would have to sod which would run $10k+. As a last effort we had Simply Turf come out and take a look and they felt it was worth a shot to try and save our lawn. We've had 3 treatments thus far and the improvement is incredible. I'm actually excited to see how it looks next year after they aerate and seed!
I use to care for my own lawn, and did a pretty good job. Work got in the way, and I picked Simply Turf to take things over for me. They have been amazing, and far exceeded my expectations! Their products are safe, my lawn has never been richer and greener, and I think I've seen 1 weed in 2 years (which was wiped out on their next visit). If you want an awesome lawn, for a price that is cheaper than you can do it on your own, these folks are the best!! I will also shout out how friendly their techs are that come out. They care about their work and your property. Keep up the great work!
We've been using Simply Turf for a few years now, and the service has always been reliable and on time. Year after year, I never have to worry—my lawn consistently looks amazing! In fact, it's the best in our community. Even my neighbor noticed and asked what my secret was. Of course, it's Simply Turf! Looking forward to more great service and an even greener lawn in the future!
I've used many lawn services over the years, but Simply Turf is simply the BEST. He treats about an acre of my property which was mostly weeds when he started, but after just one season it's showing some pretty great results. I especially love his notification system. He keeps you up to date on exactly when his team is coming to treat and then notifies you when it's safe to let your pets back on the lawn. I really appreciate the ease of communication and billing system, it's simply the best!
Been using them for a few years and lawn looks great and they've been responsive to questions and concerns. JJ just did the fall aeration and overseeing. He took extra time and care not to use the big machine that would tear up a wet lawn and put down a bit of extra seed to make sure the seed took late in the season.
Simply Turf did a great job! The team was on time, professional, and clearly knew what they were doing. Our grass looks so much greener, healthier, and way less patchy than before. Their pricing felt fair for the quality of work, and they were really easy to talk to throughout the process.
Simplyturf is awesome. My lawn had barely any grass, a bunch of bald spots, and mostly filled with weed. The 2 years that I had them, my lawn changed completely. Prices were very reasonable and knowing that you're supporting a local company feels great. I will definitely reach out if I need them again.
I have used the service of this company for several years, the technicians that I have spoken to are courteous and professional. The use of their products appear to be exceptional as my lawn has never looked better and I took pride in my yard all the years that I maintained it. They walk the talk, if they tell you they are going to do something, they do it. They respect your property
I know how important the review for business. I am one of those people that I always read reviews from others before I committed with any business. The reviews I read about Simply Turf are all positive. Patrick and Dan are very honest, respectful and really work hard. I cannot thank them both enough for accommodating without hesitation the schedule works for me in aerating and overseeding my lawn. They also give me an extra bag of seeds. It only shows that they want to make sure that their hard work will have a positive outcome. I highly recommended Simply Turf and very trusted Patrick and Dan to anyone who needs lawn care.
