How to get greener grass

From 1980 to 2020, Medina County’s population grew from 113,150 to 182,470. That’s a 61% increase. The county’s reputation as a quiet, safe place to raise a family helped fuel the growth. The region’s rolling hills are dotted with historic farms that slowly transition into beautiful suburbs where homeowners take pride in their properties with well-maintained homes and gorgeous green lawns.

Keeping your lawn green and lush requires careful consideration, including applying the right fertilizers at the right times, regular aeration to prevent compacted soil, and proper mowing techniques.

EverGreen Turf Solutions, based in Medina County, specializes in these and other services tailored to our region’s climate, soil, turf and weed species. This is one reason many local homeowners are switching from national chain lawncare companies to the professionals at EverGreen—they know local lawns.

“Every spring and summer when people call us to switch, we hear the same two reasons: They want better service and better results,” says the company’s founder Correy Petz. 

Service problems often arise because you speak with a different person each time. “We don’t have that issue,” Correy adds. “We honor and respect our employees, which is why we have a talented and stable staff. Many of our team members have been with us for years. So, you’ll almost always speak with someone familiar whenever you call and nearly always see the same technician each time on your property.”

The second issue—better results—is rooted (pun intended) in knowledge.

Understanding Local Lawns

Correy grew up in Strongsville and now lives in Medina with his two sons and his wife Sarah. And that’s an important difference between EverGreen and the national firms—this team’s deep understanding of Northeast Ohio lawns.

“There’s a big difference between how you treat a lawn in Cleveland versus how you do it in Atlanta, Phoenix, Denver or Seattle,” Correy explains. “We’ve been doing this right here for 15 years. We know our region’s turf, our weed species, and our weather like nobody else. This is one reason why we’re the number one locally owned lawn service company in the region.”

In addition, large national companies often focus on improving profits and the stock price rather than on service and quality.

Schedule Now

For a gorgeous lawn this summer, now is the time to get started. That’s because early spring is when you should apply a “preemergent,” which is crabgrass control.

“You need to treat crabgrass before it germinates in early spring when soil temperatures begin to rise,” Correy says. “If you don’t, you’ll have crabgrass later in the summer.”

Evergreen Turf offers affordable packages that include five to six applications per season. The team also handles aeration, weed treatments, lawn insect control, overseeding and disease control.
