Lawn care powered by TurfSmith
The TurfSmith Program
One program, seven visits, and no basic tier to talk you into.
TurfSmith is the turf side of GroundSmith, run by people who do nothing but lawn care. We used to sell a standard program alongside the enhanced one. We stopped. If you are going to hire us for your lawn, you get our best work, because a cut-rate tier was never the reason anyone stayed.
Most companies push top growth, because green grass this week is the cheapest thing to sell. We build root systems that hold up through a drought and through a year like this one, where Central Ohio has run several times its normal August rainfall.
The seven rounds, and what each one is actually for
- Round 1
Pre-emergent and light feeding
Helps the lawn come out of winter and puts down weed prevention before crabgrass germinates.
- Round 2
Broadleaf control plus a second pre-emergent
Most companies apply one pre-emergent and let it run out. We apply a second to extend the window of coverage through the season.
- Round 3
Late spring fertilization
Feeds the lawn through its strongest growth period without forcing soft, disease-prone top growth.
- Round 4
Fertilizer with grub and surface insect control
Prevents grubs before root feeding does visible damage. The same application also suppresses fleas and ticks in the lawn.
- Round 5
Late summer and early fall fertilization
Rebuilds the turf after summer stress, heading into the season when roots do most of their growing.
- Round 6
Fall broadleaf weed control
Homeowners worry about dandelions in spring. The fall application is the one that decides what your lawn looks like next spring, because it clears the weeds that established all summer.
- Round 7
Dormant fertilization
Strengthens roots through winter so the lawn comes back earlier and denser.
Every visit also includes spot weed control wherever the technician finds a breakout. We are on your property every four to six weeks, and your technician will let you know a day or two before he arrives. Aeration, overseeding, mosquito control, and disease treatment are available alongside the core program. Most of our customers add core aeration every year.
What it costs
Pricing is based on measured turf square footage, not on a package tier, so the honest answer for your property comes from measuring it. If your lawn is established we can usually measure and quote it quickly over the phone. Larger properties run higher, and a two acre lot can cost per round what a typical yard costs in a season.
What the first year actually looks like
Most people who call us are switching because last year did not go well. That matters, because the weeds you see next spring were set last year, before we got here.
We do not blanket spray for broadleaf weeds on the first visit. That is round two. So expect the lawn to green up over the first 30 to 60 days, weed pressure to drop noticeably from round two onward, and a thicker, healthier lawn by the end of the season.
Give us a season before you judge the work. Turf does most of its root growth in fall and winter, so the year that really shows is the second one, when we start from a healthy lawn instead of digging out of a hole.
Lawn Fertilization
We use nutrient-rich, slow-release fertilizers that promote steady, healthy turf growth through all phases of the season. Each application is timed to support root development and enhance color vibrancy without overstimulating top growth. In areas like Dublin and Powell, spring and fall feedings are especially critical for resilience and recovery. Our fertilization services are designed to strengthen your lawn from the soil up, ensuring lasting results.
Weed Control
Our weed control programs target the most persistent and invasive broadleaf and grassy weeds without harming the lawn. Using pre-emergent and post-emergent treatments, we create a defense line against species like crabgrass, clover, and dandelion. With a carefully timed strategy, we help lawns in Lewis Center and nearby areas stay clean, thick, and weed-free all season long.
Core Aeration
Compacted soils are common in Ohio and can choke out healthy grass growth. Our core aeration service pulls plugs of soil to open up the ground, allowing better air, water, and nutrient movement. Fall is the most effective time for aeration in our area, helping lawns recover from summer stress and prepare for stronger spring growth.
Overseeding
Overseeding helps fill in thinning lawns by introducing fresh, high-quality seed varieties into your existing turf. It’s especially effective when paired with aeration to increase seed-to-soil contact. In the Powell and Dublin areas, this service helps boost density and improve lawn color and resilience heading into the cooler months.
Slice Seeding
Slice seeding uses vertical blades to cut seed directly into the soil, promoting superior germination and lawn establishment. Ideal for thin or bare areas, this service is a step up from overseeding alone. For homeowners in Lewis Center or surrounding areas, slice seeding can help transform weak lawns into strong, healthy turf.
Lawn Disease Treatment
Turfgrass diseases can develop quickly during high heat and humidity. We identify and treat issues like brown patch, rust, and dollar spot using targeted applications that restore lawn health. Quick intervention is key in areas like Dublin and Powell, where weather swings can speed up disease spread. Our treatments prevent further damage and help turf recover efficiently.
Lawn Grub & Insect Control
Grubs and other lawn-damaging insects can quickly destroy healthy turf by feeding on grass roots and surface growth. GroundSmith’s grub and insect control services target destructive pests before they cause thinning, soft spots, and widespread lawn damage. Treatments are applied based on seasonal activity and pest pressure, addressing both subsurface grubs and surface-feeding insects to protect root systems and turf density. This proactive approach helps maintain strong, resilient lawns while reducing the risk of recurring infestations in high-risk areas.
Flea & Tick Control
Fleas and ticks pose health concerns and can make your yard unsafe for children and pets. Our treatments reduce populations and create a protective barrier in your lawn. Effective through peak activity months, these applications are critical in wooded or shaded areas common throughout Dublin and Powell.
Mosquito Control
Mosquito control helps reclaim your outdoor space by targeting breeding and resting areas with safe, effective treatments. Applications are timed throughout the warm months for maximum impact. Enjoy outdoor gatherings, play, or relaxation without the annoyance or risk of mosquitoes in your lawn.
New Lawn Seeding
For homeowners installing a new lawn, we provide expert soil preparation and seeding with grass types selected for Ohio’s growing conditions. We focus on proper seed-to-soil contact, irrigation guidance, and optimal timing to ensure fast germination and lasting turf health. This service creates a strong, even lawn foundation built for long-term success.
