Our Services
Base Package
This program includes five applications per year and these three elements:
1- Fertilization
Creating a healthier lawn by providing the nutrients it needs by using the appropriate, top-quality, slow-release, granular fertilizer.
2 - Weed Control
We use low-odor, selective herbicides to control undesirable species in your lawn, including bittercress, ground ivy, thistle, speedwell, chickweed, plantain, spurge, and dandelions.
3 - Crabgrass Prevention
The first application of the season contains a combination of fertilization and a pre-emergent for crab grass prevention.
Additional Services
Grub Control - highly recommended
This timely application in June or July prevents a variety of common beetle larvae (grubs) from damaging your lawn by feeding on the roots of the turfgrass. Grubs also attract predators such as moles, raccoons, and skunks that dig in your lawn while foraging for them.
Autumn Core Aeration - recommended
Aeration promotes the transfer of air, water, and nutrients in your lawn. This is recommended to be done in the fall at least every two or three years but can be done annually.
Over Seeding
A well maintained lawn doesn’t go to seed. Over seeding with quality turf grass promotes a thicker lawn by adding new grass to your lawn that isn’t happening naturally. This is also helpful for addressing any thinner spots in the lawn. Over seeding is often paired with Autumn Core Aeration but can be performed other times of year as long as the lawn is watered well enough to stimulate germination and maintain root development.
Disease Control - as needed
Turfgrass fungi such as lawn rust, dollar spot disease, and red thread can be identified and treated to prevent damage to your lawn.
Flea and Tick Control
The Flea and Tick pesticide can be applied as an annual preventative and/or as needed to address a problem to help protect your home and pets from infestations.
Who We Are
Hi, I’m Mike Schmidt, owner and operator of our family business, Schmidt’s Green Scene.
I’ve always had a passion for the outdoors, which drives me and the work I do. I am a graduate of the Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agriculture, and Environmental Sciences. I didn’t plan on being a licensed applicator when I started my career. I worked in fisheries management for Ohio State’s Aquatic Ecology Laboratory before becoming an environmental consultant. I’ve been certified by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, Ohio Department of Transportation, US Army Corps of Engineers, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service to carry out my duties in assessing a variety of study sites.
Some years later, I began helping a friend who has been operating “Green Scene” since 1992. In 2021, she gave me the exciting opportunity to acquire the greater Columbus territory and continue to grow the business as Schmidt’s Green Scene. I have always believed in the philosophy of the customer-driven business. I truly enjoy getting to know my customers and connecting with them over shared interests, such as family, travel, fishing, golf, songbirds, and the Ohio State Buckeyes. Furthermore, my work has allowed me to work in and around other areas I’m passionate about, like wildlife, gardening, and landscape design.
