Local Roots Lawn Maintenance

Local Roots was founded by Jonathan Johnson, a Georgetown resident and part-time touring musician, along with his wife Madie Johnson. They operate the business hands-on and are deeply invested in the Georgetown community.

The program has six applications timed throughout the year: early spring pre-emergent (February-March), spring growth boost (April-May), broadleaf weed control (May-June), summer stress defense (July-August), fall weed barrier (September-October), and winterizer (November). Each step targets seasonal lawn health needs specific to Central Texas.

Core aeration pulls small plugs of soil to relieve compaction, improve drainage, and help roots absorb nutrients and water more effectively. Local Roots schedules aeration between March 1 and September 1 when lawns are actively growing. It's especially beneficial paired with top dressing.

Yes. Local Roots installs Bermuda, St. Augustine, and Zoysia sod varieties commonly grown in Central Texas. They can assess your yard and recommend the best grass type for your specific conditions.

No. As long as Local Roots has access to your yard and knows it's clear of obstacles like pet waste or toys, they'll complete the work and send you confirmation when finished. They notify you the evening before service or via text as they arrive.

Local Roots serves Georgetown and surrounding communities including Sun City, Cimarron Hills, Parkside on the River, Round Rock (including Teravista), and other nearby neighborhoods. For Christmas lighting, they travel throughout the Greater Austin area.
