Green Lawn Fertilizing is the largest locally owned lawn care company in the Philadelphia Tri-State region. We have been listed in the Philadelphia 100 five times years and INC 5000 9 of the last 10 years based on our rapid growth as a family owned business. We owe our tremendous growth as a business to building honest, trustworthy relationships with our customers and employees. Every aspect of our business is focused on our commitment to providing superior customer service and we take great pride in being A rated on Angie’s list as a result. From day one, when our owner, Matt Jesson, founded Green Lawn Fertilizing, our mission was to become a leading independent green industry company by providing a superior customer experience. 20 years later we feel confident that we have achieved that goal as we have overall exemplary online reviews including over 400 A ratings on Angie’s List! We were recognized among all small or medium sized businesses in the region by the Greater Phialdelphia Chamber of Commerce as their "Customer Service Excellence" award winner. We have also been listed as Lawn and Landscape Magazine’s #9 Lawn Care Company in the country. We are also active members of: NALP, NPMA, LCAP, PPMA and Project Evergreen's Green Care for Troops.

"Green Lawn is hands down the best lawn care company I’ve ever had. My technician, Randy, does a great job! His attention to detail and commitment to excellent service go far beyond just applying treatments. He consistently gives me helpful feedback about my lawn, taking the time to explain what he’s seeing and what steps I can take to keep it healthy. What truly sets Randy apart is his thoughtfulness—he doesn’t hesitate to address any concerns he notices during his visit, and he even goes the extra mile to bring my empty garbage can back to the house. That level of care and pride in his work is rare these days, and it doesn’t go unnoticed. I truly appreciate having someone so reliable and professional taking care of my lawn!"

FAQs for lawn dethatching projects in Basking Ridge, NJ

Dethatching machines look like lawnmowers but have blades that cut down in crisscrossing motions. This action loosens the thatch, which is then raked up separately and removed. You might see some dethatching machines with rake-like tines. These often do not offer the best experience compared to those with blades.

You should fertilize your lawn after dethatching. This gives the damaged grass a solid nutrient boost to aid quick recovery, helping your lawn to grow back greener and stronger. Fertilizing before dethatching wastes your time, money, and energy and may even damage your lawn.

Yes, dethatching is worth it if you've got a thick thatch layer. Grab a trowel, dig up a small section of soil and grass, and check how thick the thatch layer is. If it's an inch or more, and you're noticing problems like thinning grass, weak, patchy grass, or pale coloring, it could be time to dethatch to restore health and vigor.

The cost to reseed a lawn typically ranges from $400 to $1,800. The total price often depends on the size of your lawn and the type of service needed.
