Eco-Friendly Lawn Care in Smyrna, GA
Lawn Care for the Jonquil City
Smyrna has some of Cobb County's most character-filled neighborhoods, from the historic homes of Williams Park to the mature, tree-lined neighborhoods near downtown. Ecocare has been caring for lawns like these since 2010. Our office is in East Cobb, so we're a local team, close by. Founder Alejandro Simmonds holds a degree in Environmental Horticulture and built Ecocare on one idea: lawn care can be effective and environmentally responsible at the same time. Our science-backed, reduced-impact treatments keep Smyrna yards thick, green, and weed-free, for homes and commercial properties alike.
Our Lawn Care Services in Smyrna
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
Smyrna's mature oaks, dogwoods, and foundation plantings need care too. We offer deep root fertilization plus insect and disease control to keep them healthy and growing strong.
Lawn Disease Control
Humid summers and shaded, slow-drying 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.
Smyrna Lawn Conditions and Seasonal Timing
Many Smyrna homes were built in the 1950s through the 1970s, so lawns here often sit under decades-old trees. Big shade trees are beautiful, but their roots compete with grass for water and nutrients, and their canopy blocks the sun Bermuda and zoysia need. Newer infill homes and townhomes tend to have small, sunny yards where every square foot shows.
That mix means one size doesn't fit all. Shaded yards usually do best with tall fescue, a cool-season grass that struggles through July and August. Sunny yards do best with Bermuda or zoysia, warm-season grasses that go dormant (brown) in winter. Under it all is compacted Georgia red clay.
A typical Smyrna 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 how much sun your yard gets.
