Get the Most Out of Your Yard with Year-Round Treatments

Over the past 20+ years, ALM has developed a plan to ensure the best year-round results. We offer a variety of lawn care programs, consisting of 6 to 14 applications throughout the year.

Our lawn care programs include:

  • Pre-emergent weed control to prevent unsightly weeds from growing in your yard.
  • Post-emergent weed control, should weeds get into your yard.
  • Granular fertilizers that nourish and grow your lawn.
  • Lime to promote soil health and maintain pH levels.
  • Fungicides to prevent turf diseases. 

28 Years of Local Experience

Caring for a lawn through the cooler months requires a clear understanding of local growing conditions. In a transition zone with both warm- and cool-season grasses, timing and treatment decisions matter. With years of hands-on experience managing lawns in this area, our team understands how cold weather, frost, and disease pressure affect turf and how to adjust care accordingly.

That same local knowledge guides how we approach responsible lawn care. As voluntary participants in the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation’s Green and Clean Initiative, we follow practices designed to protect the environment while meeting state water quality standards. For that reason, we require a soil test before starting any lawn care program, allowing treatments to be based on actual soil conditions rather than assumptions.

Service Within 48 Hours & Free Retreatments

We know that your time is important to you, which is why we do everything possible to have a knowledgeable and licensed technician at your home within 48 hours of your initial phone call. We also offer free re-treatments if you're not happy with your results! 

Eco and Budget-Friendly Grub Control Services

Whether they are feeding on your lawn’s roots as grubs or eating your ornamental shrubs as adult beetles, grubs can cause a lot of damage to your outdoor spaces. Luckily, this damage usually doesn’t occur until there is a significant concentration of grubs hiding under the surface of your lawn, so if you suspect grubs may be taking over your yard, the time to act is now. If you’re ready to protect your yard from grubs and the damage they can cause, give ALM a call today!

Here at ALM, we prioritize taking eco-friendly lawn and pest control measures that work for you and the environment. For our grub control services, that means two things -  targeting larva when they are at their most vulnerable to avoid heavier treatments once they have matured, and making sure that grubs are the problem before we decide to treat for them. Not only are these choices good for the environment, but they are also good for your wallet, ridding your yard of grubs only when needed, and as quickly as possible, to save you from costly services down the road. When you choose ALM for your grub control services, you will receive:

  • A thorough lawn inspection performed by one of our lawn experts to assess the extent of your grub problem
  • Seasonally targeted treatments to eliminate eggs and larvae in the fall before they have a chance to mature
  • Granular product applications that align with our participation in the Green & Clean Initiative

Get Rid of Weeds in Your Yard

A yard full of weeds is one of the fastest ways to lose your curb appeal. Every ALM lawn care program includes both pre-emergent weed control to stop weeds before they sprout and post-emergent control to clear out the ones already there, so your lawn stays clean through every season.

From crabgrass and clover to nutsedge and dandelion, we identify what is growing in your yard and match the treatment to the weed, the grass type, and the season.

We Provide Soil Testing

We require soil testing at the start of your service because testing your soil for proper pH is vital to the long-term health of your grass. The ideal pH for managing turf is 6.2-6.5. There is some tolerance outside this range, but if the soil pH is too far out of balance the viability of turf will be greatly diminished. Keep in mind the pH scale is a log10 scale, so differences in values are exponential. The soil amendments we offer to correct poor soil are additional to your normal program. Once we receive the results of the test, we will contact you with the findings. If additional treatments are needed, we will give you pricing and wait for your approval to take action.

Frequently Asked Questions: Lawn Care Edition

Will a lawn care program work if my grass is already in bad shape?

Yes, a lawn care program can recover a struggling lawn, though badly thinned or damaged turf takes more than one season to fully turn around. The program rebuilds soil health and grass density over consecutive rounds, so improvement compounds year over year rather than appearing after one visit. Lawns that have declined for years or sit on poor soil need the most time, which is why consistent treatment outperforms occasional fixes.

Do I need a soil test before starting, and why does it matter?

Yes, a soil test is required before your program begins because it measures your lawn's pH and nutrient levels so treatments match what your grass actually needs. In Hampton Roads, soil pH often drifts outside the ideal 6.2 to 6.5 range for turf, which limits how well grass absorbs fertilizer until it's corrected. Testing also keeps ALM compliant with Virginia's Green and Clean Initiative, which bases applications on real soil conditions instead of guesswork.

What happens if a treatment doesn't work on my lawn?

If problems persist after a treatment, ALM returns to re-treat at no additional cost under its satisfaction guarantee. This matters in coastal Virginia because weather swings and humidity can affect how turf responds between visits. Re-treatments let the program adjust to your lawn's actual conditions rather than a fixed schedule.

How many lawn treatments do I need per year in Hampton Roads?

Most Hampton Roads lawns need between 6 and 14 applications per year, depending on your grass type and the program you choose. Fescue lawns generally require more frequent visits because they are prone to summer disease and heat stress in this region. The exact number is determined after a soil test identifies your lawn's specific needs.
