Late August is an important time for your Northern Virginia landscape. Summer heat may still be hanging around, but fall is just around the corner—and the work you do now can help keep your property looking beautiful while preparing your lawn and landscape for the cooler months ahead.
At Complete Lawn Service of Northern Virginia, we’re helping homeowners take care of late-summer landscaping needs while getting a head start on fall projects.
Give Your Landscape a Late-Summer Cleanup

Our experienced landscaping team can help refresh your property with services including:
- Landscape bed cleanup and maintenance
- Weeding
- Trimming and appropriate seasonal pruning
- Lawn care and maintenance
- New plantings and landscape improvements
- Irrigation system services
- Patios and walkways

Taking care of these projects now can improve your home’s curb appeal for the remainder of summer while giving your landscape a cleaner, healthier start heading into fall.
Start Planning Fall Landscaping Projects Now
Don’t wait until October to start thinking about your fall landscape. Late August is an excellent time to begin planning and scheduling fall projects, especially as the busy autumn landscaping season approaches.
If your lawn struggled through the summer, now is also the time to start thinking about fall aeration and overseeding. Northern Virginia’s predominantly cool-season lawns can benefit from fall lawn renovation as temperatures begin to moderate and conditions become more favorable for new grass growth.
It’s also a great time to discuss fall plantings and landscape improvements. Planning ahead gives you time to determine what will work best for your property and get your project on the schedule.
More Than Just Lawn Care
Complete Lawn Service can help transform your entire outdoor property. Whether you want to improve existing landscape beds, add new plantings, upgrade your irrigation system or create a new outdoor living area, our team can handle projects large and small.
A new patio or walkway can add beauty and function to your property, while professionally designed landscape lighting can showcase your home and landscaping after the sun goes down. If you’re ready for a bigger change, we can help plan a complete landscape upgrade designed around your home and property.
