Responsible Lawn Care for Austell Yards

Austell sits along Sweetwater Creek in southwest Cobb County, and many of its lawns grow on creekside and rolling terrain. Ecocare has cared for Cobb County lawns since 2010, and our office is in East Cobb, so we're a local team. Founder Alejandro Simmonds holds a degree in Environmental Horticulture and started Ecocare to show that lawn care can be effective and environmentally responsible at the same time. Our science-backed, reduced-impact treatments keep Austell yards thick, green, and weed-free, for homes and commercial properties alike.

Our Lawn Care Services in Austell

Fertilization and Weed Control

Our 8-application Turf Care Program combines fertilization with pre-emergent weed control, which stops weeds before they sprout, and post-emergent weed control, which treats the weeds already there. Each program is tailored to your grass, warm-season or cool-season.

Tree and Shrub Care

Your trees and shrubs need care too. We offer deep root fertilization plus insect and disease control to keep them healthy and growing strong.

Lawn Disease Control

Hot, humid summers and damp ground near creeks can bring turf diseases like brown patch and dollar spot. We offer preventative treatments, plus curative treatments for problems that have already started.

Insect Control

We treat armyworms, grubs, and beetles before they damage your turf. Our insect treatments are pet-friendly.

Aeration

Core aeration pulls small plugs of soil so water, air, and nutrients can reach the roots. For Bermuda and zoysia lawns, we aerate from spring into summer, once the lawn is about 50% green.

Fall Fescue Overseeding

Fescue thins out every year. Our fall overseeding (September through November) pairs core aeration with premium fescue seed to fill bare spots and thicken your lawn.

Austell Lawn Conditions and Seasonal Timing

Austell lawns face a mix of conditions. Low-lying yards near Sweetwater Creek and its tributaries can hold water after heavy rain, while yards on higher ground bake in full sun. Sunny lawns here are mostly Bermuda and zoysia, warm-season grasses that thrive in summer heat and go dormant (brown) in winter. Shaded yards often have tall fescue, a cool-season grass that struggles through July and August.

Georgia red clay ties it all together. It compacts easily, drains slowly in wet spots, and dries hard in dry spots. Regular core aeration and a steady feeding program help roots grow deeper so your lawn handles both extremes.

A typical Austell year looks like this:

Late winter to early spring: pre-emergent weed control goes down before crabgrass and other weeds sprout.
Spring into summer: warm-season lawns are fed as they green up and aerated once they're about 50% green. Summer is when we watch for disease and insects.
Fall: fescue lawns get aerated and overseeded from September through November, and we stay ahead of winter weeds.

We adjust every program to your grass type and your yard.

Austell Lawn Care FAQs

How do I get a free estimate?

Call (678) 993-0834 or fill out our online free estimate form. If you can, upload photos of the front, back, and sides of your lawn, plus any problem areas, so we can give you a more accurate estimate.

Part of my Austell yard stays wet after rain. Can aeration help?

Yes. Core aeration opens up compacted clay so water can soak in instead of sitting on top. We'll look at your yard and recommend the right timing for your grass type.

What's included in the Turf Care Program?

Eight applications a year that include fertilization, pre-emergent weed control, and post-emergent weed control, tailored for warm-season or cool-season grass.

Are your treatments safe for pets?

Our insect control treatments are pet-friendly, and we use environmentally conscious, reduced-impact products across our services.

Do you service commercial properties in Austell?

Yes. Commercial properties get the same treatments as our residential customers: customized programs, regular treatment schedules, and turf, tree, and shrub care. We work alongside your landscapers, who handle the mowing.
