Home Turf
A Healthy Virginia Lawns program
If you are having concerns about your home lawn, learn what you can do to maintain a healthy lawn. Trained Master Gardeners from our Home Turf, a Healthy Virginia Lawns Program, answer your lawn care questions and provide you research-based and environmentally sound information about maintaining your lawn.
- Volunteers conduct on-site visits to evaluate your turfgrass, measure the lawn area and prepare a map, and collect one or more soil samples.
- Soil test results are sent to the Virginia Tech Soil Lab for analysis and a personalized 3-year Nutrient Management Plan will be developed for the lawn.
- Master Gardeners will discuss the plan with the homeowner and answer questions regarding proper lawn maintenance in Fairfax County.
We are now accepting applications until September, or until our program capacity is full.
