Mike's Mowing | Licensed Landscaping in Lorton, VA

The first step is a thorough diagnosis. In Lorton, brown spots are often a sign of fungus, while moss indicates drainage or soil issues. We'll assess your lawn's sunlight, soil pH, and thatch layer to identify the root cause. Then, we create a custom plan that may include targeted fungicide applications, moss control treatments, and aeration to improve soil health and prevent recurrence.

Proper mowing is crucial for prevention. We mow at the correct height for your grass type—never too short, which stresses the lawn and makes it susceptible to fungus. We also keep our blades sharp to ensure clean cuts that heal quickly, reducing points of entry for disease. Our regular, consistent schedule helps maintain lawn vigor, which is your best defense against common Lorton-area fungi.

Absolutely. Moss often points to compacted, acidic soil with poor drainage—common in parts of Lorton. Our services include core aeration to relieve compaction and improve water penetration, along with soil testing and amendments like lime to correct pH. By addressing these foundational issues, we create an environment where your grass can thrive and naturally outcompete moss.
