The Smart Science Behind Our Lawn Treatments

At Eshelman Mill Gardens & Landscapes, we know that a healthy, vibrant lawn doesn’t happen by chance—it’s the result of smart strategy, careful timing, and decades of experience. Since 1980, we’ve been helping lawns thrive, using a time-tested approach tailored to each yard’s unique needs.

A Personalized Approach, Every Time

While we follow a general schedule of 8-10 lawn treatments throughout the year, no two lawns are exactly alike. That’s why we bring all of our products with us on every visit. Unlike many companies that stick to a rigid formula, we assess the current lawn conditions and adjust accordingly—whether based on plant composition, temperature, moisture levels, or the presence of specific weeds or fungi.

Science-Based Solutions

Most weeds are perennials that need to be actively growing to be effectively controlled. That’s why timing is everything. For example, dandelions can’t be treated in the fall, while crabgrass—one of the most common and stubborn weeds—requires a two-step pre-emergent treatment for maximum control.

Smart Product Rotation

We regularly rotate products and active ingredients to prevent weeds from adapting and building resistance to certain ingredients. This strategy helps us maintain long-term effectiveness and ensures that your lawn stays in top condition season after season.

Environmentally Conscious Lawn Care

Today’s lawn treatments aren’t what they used to be—and that’s good. Our products and techniques are far more eco-friendly than they were even a decade ago. Thanks to improved formulas and better application methods, we use significantly fewer chemicals while achieving even better results.

We’re fully certified, licensed, and insured for all the treatments we apply. Continuing education is necessary in this field, and our team stays up to date with the latest research and advancements to ensure we deliver the safest, most effective, and environmentally responsible lawn care possible.

A Lawn You—and Your Neighbors—Will Notice

Our goal isn’t just to impress you—we want to impress your entire neighborhood. A lush, healthy lawn turns heads, and when one lawn stands out, others take notice.
