How long has Bio Green been in the lawn/turf care business and are you insured?
Recognized as the area leaders in lawn care, ?BioGreen Inc. was founded in 1987. We're a locally-owned company servicing Northern Virginia from offices in Ashburn and Manassas. 703.450.0034
We're not part of a national chain or franchise operation, so we can do what's 'right' for your lawn, rather than what the manual tells us to do... and with an Agronomist on staff, we have more resident expertise than just about any other service provider
We currently provide lawn care service programs of various kinds to over 3000 annual lawn care customers
We're insured for up to 2 million dollars.

Are your programs tailored to the specific needs of my lawn?
Before we'll give you an estimate for your unique property, we'll want to meet meet with you and walk your property together. This way we can identify specifically what your lawn needs, as well as your expectations (cost, frequency of treatments, what the process consists of, etc.). Unlike most of the others, we avoid the 'one size fits all, cookie-cutter' approach where chemicals are pre-mixed in a tanker-like truck, and every lawn gets the same treatment. Since we tailor our services to your porperty, each application in every Bio Green program involves making a separate trip over your lawn. To identify and per-empt unseen problems, we recommend soil testing to all new customers.

How can I be sure your program will work on my lawn? (What's your guarantee?)
We guarantee our results in two ways. First, we offer unlimited service calls to each annual customer. If problems arise between scheduled services we'll come back to solve it... free of charge. Our programs also include 'Lawn Insurance.' So, if any problem covered under your program (ex. grubs or disease), does damage to your lawn, we'll repair it... again, free of charge.

Are your servicepeople trained?
Our service technicians are the best trained in the business... they have to be. Most of our competitors have a single pre-mixed application they make on each lawn, each season. Our programs require many separate applications, depending on the weather, the condition of your lawn, the amount of shade, the level of service you'll want, etc. Obviously, these vary from lawn-to-lawn. You'll have a specific technician assigned to your lawn, and each one is certified by the State of Virginia.

Will any of your proposed lawn applications be harmful to our pets, our kids, or the environment?
Let's face it... almost anything can be harmful in large amounts. At Bio Green, we employ an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in all of our programs. This limits the amounts of chemicals we'll apply to your lawn (in other words, no "blanket" applications). According to the Prince William Agricultural Extension Service, Bio Green is the only lawn care company to follow all of the Virginia Tech Water Quality Program guidelines... every one! We recommend watering your lawn well after each service, since with extended contact, even fertilizer can irritate your skin.

Will your proposed program include everything my lawn will need or could there lots of extras?
By custom-designing your program to fit the your needs and those of your lawn we try to include everything your lawn needs. That said, some of those needs can only be identified and then treated by testing your soil. Ocassionally that mt require additional services, for example a lime treatment.

Will the price for my lawn care program go up each year?
As your lawn improves in the second or third year, the annual cost of your lawn care goes down in most cases.

With your lawn care program, will I have to water and mow my lawn more often?
A well-rooted, properly maintained lawn typically requires less water. Of course, any lawn will do better if watered correctly (whether it's being treated or not). All Bio Green lawn care programs stress quality root growth. One way we do this is with balanced, slow-release feedings. This eliminates the 'surge growth' seen when large amounts of fast-release nitrogen is used... then it would require more frequent mowing. That said, an important aspect of maintaining a nice, thick, healthy lawn is appropriate watering and timely mowing... and always to the right height.

How do your lawn care program prices compare with other lawn services providers?
The way we service your lawn and the resulting need for high-quality, knowledgeable, conscientious technicians means our labor costs are higher than most of our competitors. And while we're rarely the cheapest... we do provide the very best, most comprehensive service programs.
Our prices are very competitive though (see estimate comparison chart). In fact because we do so many, we're often less expensive for lawn renovations and seeding.

Will you provide the names of some of your customers as references?
Of course we will… and in addition to servicing your neighbors, the Bio Green team has been recognized for our high-quality, 'no-excuses' lawn care programs and unflincing customer service... including…
