If you’ve lived in Baltimore long enough, you know our lawns don’t exactly make it easy on us. One year it’s crabgrass, the next it’s grubs, and every summer it feels like the heat just won’t quit. Between the humidity, clay-heavy soil, and unpredictable weather, keeping your lawn green can feel like a full-time job.
That’s where Scientific Plant Service comes in. Over the years, we’ve learned that no two properties are the same. What works in Catonsville doesn’t always work in Towson, and a downtown rowhouse yard is a whole different world from a big suburban lawn.
Our job is to figure out what your grass needs, and give it exactly that. Whether it’s a little help fighting weeds or a full-season fertilization plan, we treat your lawn like it’s our own backyard.
Healthy lawns start underground. We use season-specific fertilizers that feed the roots, not just the blades, helping your grass grow stronger, thicker, and greener. When your soil’s balanced, your lawn naturally fights off weeds and stress.
If you’re tired of seeing crabgrass win every summer, we’ve got you covered. We use both pre- and post-emergent treatments to stop weeds before they sprout and take out the ones that already have. Clover, dandelions, nutsedge, we’ve seen them all, and we know how to handle them.
Baltimore’s clay soil can get dense fast, especially with all the foot traffic and weather changes. Aeration loosens things up, giving roots the air and water they need. We often follow it with overseeding to fill in bare patches and help your lawn come back thick and even.
Grubs and lawn pests can ruin months of hard work in a matter of weeks. Our pest control treatments stop damage early while staying safe for pets, pollinators, and kids. You’ll see stronger roots and a healthier yard before the next season hits.
A lot of Baltimore lawns lean acidic, which can choke out nutrients your grass needs. Lime helps even out the soil’s pH, letting fertilizers actually do their job.
Baltimore sits right in the middle of the “transition zone,” where both cool- and warm-season grasses can grow, but cool-season grasses tend to do best here.
If you’ve got a sunnier property, Zoysia or Bermuda can also work with the right care.
