Lawn Fertilization
Our tailored fertilization programs deliver essential nutrients to promote dense, green growth while resisting weeds and pests. Using soil analysis, we customize applications for cool-season fescue and warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia. Seasonal treatments ensure optimal nutrient absorption, enhancing lawn resilience to drought, heat stress, and disease while improving property value through superior curb appeal.
Weed Control
We target invasive weeds like crabgrass, dandelions, and nutsedge using EPA-approved herbicides. Our programs combine pre-emergent and post-emergent treatments to prevent seed germination and eliminate existing growth. Technicians identify specific weed types to apply targeted solutions, ensuring safe and effective control while maintaining lawn health through proper mowing and cultural practices.
Core Aeration
This process perforates soil to reduce compaction, improve air/water flow, and enhance root development. We recommend annual aeration for fescue lawns during fall seeding and warm-season grasses during summer growth periods. By alleviating thatch buildup and promoting nutrient uptake, core aeration strengthens turf density and improves resistance to environmental stressors.
Mosquito Control
Our barrier treatments target mosquito breeding sites using eco-friendly solutions applied to foliage and shaded areas. Recurring applications every 21 days maintain protection, while technicians address standing water issues to disrupt breeding cycles. This service reduces disease risks and enhances outdoor comfort for residential and commercial properties across Raleigh and Charlotte.
Disease Control
We diagnose and treat lawn diseases like brown patch, dollar spot, and rust using preventative and curative fungicides. Our approach combines proper identification, targeted applications, and cultural adjustments to soil conditions. Early intervention prevents widespread damage, ensuring healthy turf growth for both residential lawns and commercial landscapes in the Carolinas.

Questions
When should I aerate my lawn?
Aerate cool-season fescue lawns during fall seeding. Warm-season grasses like Bermuda should be aerated between May and July when actively growing. Annual aeration is recommended for optimal results.
How does fertilization benefit my lawn?
Proper fertilization strengthens root systems, enhances green color, and improves resistance to weeds, pests, and drought. Our tailored programs ensure nutrient delivery matches your grass type and seasonal needs.
What weed control methods do you use?
We combine pre-emergent herbicides to prevent seed germination with targeted post-emergent treatments. Our licensed technicians identify specific weeds like crabgrass or nutsedge to apply the most effective EPA-approved solutions.
How often should mosquito treatments be applied?
Our barrier sprays last 2-3 weeks. For continuous protection, we recommend recurring treatments every 21 days during peak mosquito season to maintain effective outdoor pest control.
Do you offer organic lawn care options?
Yes, we provide one of the industry's leading organic turf programs. These treatments use environmentally friendly products to nourish your lawn while maintaining safety for families and pets.

Fairway Green is rock solid. You sign up for the service, the come out and engage and execute. Last year, I had some struggles with crab grass and they helped form a plan to take care of it. I have used them for 10+ years at 2 different houses. These guys are really good!

Staff has been great to work with the past 4 years. I tried two other companies before settling in with Fairway Green. Evan and his team transformed my yard. Strongly recommended them. If you have a problem and need another treatment Evan takes care of you.

After a terrible experience with another lawn service company and almost a total loss of my Bermuda lawn, I called on Fairway Green to help restore it. They developed a program for me to restore the lawn and create a healthy environment for it to thrive. Two years in, the lawn is in better shape and health than it ever was. The technicians communicate with me on what they are doing and provide me with recommendations to make sure Im satisfied. You wont find a better group to trust your lawn to.

This service is a scam. I used them for a year. The first time they did a great job, but as the year progressed we only had issues. They would do my .35 acre yard in 6 minutes from the start of the doorbell to when they drove off. They have lazy people that are just there for a paycheck and will half a** your yard once you are locked in.

We struggled for years to get our lawn green. Heard excuses that the soil was bad, the heat is an issue, etc. Evan and the group at Fairway Green were able to get our lawn looking green and plush in no time. Their responsiveness is second to none and their employees are the best I've encountered. My only complaint now is having to mow too often. I would highly recommend giving them a try. You won't regret it.
