Eco-Friendly Lawn Care in Marietta, GA
Local Lawn Care From Your Marietta Neighbors
Ecocare has been caring for Marietta lawns since 2010. Our office is in East Cobb, so we aren't driving in from across the state. We're right down the road. Founder Alejandro Simmonds holds a degree in Environmental Horticulture, and he built Ecocare on a simple idea: lawn care can be effective and environmentally responsible at the same time. We use science-backed, reduced-impact treatments to keep your yard thick, green, and weed-free, for homes and commercial properties alike.
Our Lawn Care Services in Marietta
Fertilization and Weed Control
Our 8-application Turf Care Program combines fertilization with pre-emergent weed control (stopping weeds before they sprout) and post-emergent weed control (treating the ones already there). Each program is tailored to your grass, whether 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
Marietta's hot, humid summers can bring turf diseases like brown patch and dollar spot. We offer preventative treatments and 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. It's especially helpful for Bermuda and zoysia lawns.
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.
Marietta Lawn Conditions and Seasonal Timing
Most Marietta lawns are Bermuda, zoysia, or tall fescue, and each needs a different plan. Bermuda and zoysia are warm-season grasses that love summer heat and go dormant (brown) in winter. Tall fescue is a cool-season grass that does best in shady yards but struggles through July and August.
Underneath it all is Georgia red clay. Clay packs down hard, drains slowly, and makes it tough for roots to get what they need. That's why aeration matters so much here.
A typical Marietta year looks like this:
- Late winter to early spring: pre-emergent weed control goes down before crabgrass and other weeds sprout.
- Spring and summer: warm-season lawns are fed and treated as they green up, and 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.
