Lawn Care for Kennesaw Homes, From a Cobb County Team

From the neighborhoods in the shadow of Kennesaw Mountain to the newer communities near Kennesaw State University, Ecocare has been caring for Kennesaw lawns since 2010. Our office is in East Cobb, a short drive away, so your lawn is looked after by a local team. Founder Alejandro Simmonds holds a degree in Environmental Horticulture. He started Ecocare to prove that lawn care can be effective and environmentally responsible at the same time. We use science-backed, reduced-impact treatments to keep Kennesaw yards thick, green, and weed-free, for homes and commercial properties alike.

Our Lawn Care Services in Kennesaw

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

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

Lawn Disease Control

Kennesaw's humid summers and irrigated subdivision lawns 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.

Kennesaw Lawn Conditions and Seasonal Timing

Many Kennesaw subdivisions were built in the last few decades, and that matters for your lawn. When a neighborhood is graded, the topsoil is often stripped away, leaving compacted Georgia red clay under a thin layer of sod. Roots struggle to grow deep in that clay, so lawns dry out fast in summer and thin out in high-traffic spots.

Most Kennesaw lawns are Bermuda or zoysia in the sunny front yards, with tall fescue in shaded backyards under hardwoods. Bermuda and zoysia are warm-season grasses that love summer heat and go dormant (brown) in winter. Fescue is a cool-season grass that handles shade but struggles through July and August.

A typical Kennesaw year looks like this:

Late winter to early spring: pre-emergent weed control goes down before crabgrass and other weeds sprout.
Spring into summer: Bermuda and zoysia lawns are fed as they green up, and core aeration begins 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.

My Kennesaw subdivision has hard clay soil. Can you help?

Yes. Core aeration is one of the best ways to loosen compacted clay. Bermuda and zoysia lawns are aerated from spring into summer, once they're about 50% green, and fescue lawns are aerated in fall with overseeding.
