What Our Customers Are Saying
“The landscape project completed by Grasshopper exceeded our expectations.

GTC 
Our yard was was completely damaged from a drainage install we had done and we have clay soil which is the absolute worse to deal with. We literally needed a whole new lawn installed from front to back. Grasshopper Gardens was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Whether I was speaking to someone from the office or the two men who came and did all the hard work, everyone was so professional and courteous. They did such an amazing job leveling out our yard (which was definitely not easy, even breaking up clumps of clay by hand) laying down the top soil, grading and then hydro seeding the whole thing. They came on time, worked hard the whole time they were here, respected my property and banged out the whole job in one day. I am so happy we chose them and will definitely continue to be a customer for years to come.

Having recently engaged Grasshopper Gardens for lawn treatment, I can confidently say their service exceeded my expectations. Their customer care team provided a helpful advance notification, and the lawn technician’s work was exceptional. My lawn has never looked better, and is healthy and vibrant. The customer service is the best I’ve ever encountered, and any Grasshopper employees I’ve dealt with have always been courteous, knowledgeable, and responsive. I wholeheartedly recommend Grasshopper Gardens to anyone in need of top-tier landscaping services.

Year-Round Fertilization for Every Season
Achieving the best lawn on your block requires attention throughout the year, and our seasonal lawn treatment approach ensures your grass gets exactly what it needs, when it needs it. In spring, we apply pre-emergent weed treatment and the first round of fertilizer to jumpstart growth and prevent crabgrass invasion. Summer brings targeted fertilizer application with pest control services to keep your lawn green through the heat. Fall is prime time for aeration, mechanical seeding, and fertilization that strengthens roots before winter dormancy. Even during the colder months, we’re preparing your lawn for the next growing season. This comprehensive approach means consistent results and a healthier lawn year after year.

FAQs
Most lawns in the Capital District benefit from four to six fertilizer applications per year, spaced throughout the growing season. Our lawn care program is designed around your lawn’s specific needs and grass type, ensuring optimal nutrition without over-fertilizing. We’ll recommend the right schedule during your free lawn assessment.
Our comprehensive lawn care services include customized fertilizer application using slow-release fertilizers, weed control and spot treatment, crabgrass prevention, and grub control. We also offer lawn aeration, mechanical seeding service, and insect control to address all aspects of lawn health.
The best time to start is now. While spring is ideal for launching a full fertilization schedule, our lawn care experts can develop a plan for any time of year. We’ll assess your lawn’s current condition and create a program that addresses immediate needs while building toward long-term results.
Absolutely. A healthy lawn is your best defense against weeds. Our lawn treatment combines proper fertilization with targeted weed treatment to eliminate existing weeds while encouraging thick grass growth that naturally prevents new weeds from taking hold. For persistent issues, we offer additional weed control options.
Yes. We use professional-grade products applied according to strict safety guidelines. We recommend keeping children and pets off treated areas for 24 hours after fertilizer application. Our team always provides clear instructions so you know exactly what to expect after each lawn treatment service.
Lawn aeration is highly beneficial for most lawns in our area. It relieves soil compaction, improves water and nutrient absorption, and helps fertilizer reach grass roots more effectively. We typically recommend aeration in spring or fall, and it pairs perfectly with our lawn fertilization service for maximum results.
