About Us
Professional Lawn Care Built On Soil Health And Honest Service
Lawn Care Plus has been caring for lawns across Johannesburg’s northern suburbs for over two decades. We focus on the long-term health of your lawn rather than quick cosmetic fixes, combining proven methods with modern, evidence-based practices to deliver results that last. Whether you need a single treatment to address a specific issue or an ongoing programme to keep your lawn in peak condition year-round, our team approaches every property with the same level of care and attention.
About Lawn Care Plus
Lawn Care Plus was founded in 2002 and has been dedicated to improving lawn health and appearance across Johannesburg ever since. For more than two decades, we have built a reputation for delivering results that hold up over time, working with homeowners, estates and commercial properties across the region.
In December 2019, the business was acquired by Nicholas Dunn, bringing a renewed focus on service quality, client relationships and measurable results. Under his leadership, Lawn Care Plus has grown from serving around 120 clients to more than 300. This growth was not the result of aggressive marketing or undercutting on price. It came from doing the work properly, communicating clearly, and earning the kind of trust that turns first-time clients into long-standing ones who refer their neighbours, family and friends.
Our values are straightforward. We do the work we say we will do. We explain what we are doing and why. We focus on outcomes that hold up over time rather than improvements that fade between visits. And we treat every property, large or small, with the same standard of service.
What We Do
We provide a complete range of lawn care services for residential and commercial properties, with a particular focus on the soil conditions that drive long-term lawn health. Our services include:
Carbon Fertilisation
A soil-focused treatment that improves how the ground holds moisture and nutrients, supporting stronger growth and a healthier root environment.
All-In-One Natural Soil Treatment
A single all-in-one natural application combining worm castings, compost tea, carbon and fine compost to improve how your soil performs over time.
Comprehensive Lawn Treatment Plans
A tailored seasonal programme designed around the specific challenges affecting your lawn through every stage of the growing year.
Core Aeration
A mechanical treatment that relieves soil compaction and allows water, air and nutrients to reach the root zone effectively.
Professional Lawn Planting
A complete planting service for new lawns and restoration of bare areas, using grass types suited to your conditions.
Spring Treatments
A seasonal programme that prepares your lawn for warmer months and supports strong, even growth across the property.
Lawn Winter Clean-Up
A seasonal service that protects your lawn through dormancy and prepares it for healthy, even recovery in spring.
Weed Control
A targeted treatment that removes weeds from your lawn without compromising the surrounding grass or soil health.
Bespoke Garden Service
A broader garden care service for properties that need more than lawn work, tailored to your specific requirements.
Each service can be delivered on its own or as part of an ongoing programme, depending on what your lawn needs and how you prefer to work with us.
Our Approach to Lawn Care
Most lawn problems do not start at the surface. Patchy growth, recurring weeds, fungal issues and lawns that fade soon after feeding are usually signs that the soil is not functioning as it should. A lawn that looks healthy on top depends entirely on what is happening below it.
Our approach begins by understanding those conditions before applying any treatment. Soil composition, drainage, sunlight, grass type and seasonal patterns all influence how a lawn performs, and treatments only deliver lasting results when they are matched to what each lawn actually needs. A lawn struggling with compacted soil needs a very different intervention from one suffering from nutrient depletion, and a property with heavy shade has different requirements from one in full sun. Standardised treatments applied without this kind of assessment often produce short-term improvement followed by a return to the same problems.
The other side of our approach is consistency. Lawn care that delivers lasting results depends on follow-through. Soil-based improvements build up over time, and the benefits are clearest in lawns that receive ongoing attention rather than one-off treatments. This is why we work with most clients on a programme basis, scheduling treatments around the seasonal needs of the lawn and adjusting as conditions change.
As soil performance improves, growth becomes more even, moisture is held more effectively, and recurring issues become less frequent. Lawns that previously required constant correction begin to hold their condition for longer periods. This is the kind of result we work towards: not a temporary lift, but a lawn that performs consistently and requires less intervention over time.

Areas We Service
Lawn Care Plus operates across the northern suburbs of Johannesburg, covering Sandton, Randburg, Fourways and Midrand. These are the areas we know best, with a strong understanding of the soil conditions, water availability, climate patterns and grass types common to the region.
Working within a defined service area allows us to maintain consistent quality and response times. Our teams are familiar with the conditions in each suburb, and we can schedule visits efficiently to ensure clients receive timely service throughout the year.
If your property sits on the edge of these areas, contact us and we will confirm whether we can assist. We occasionally take on properties slightly outside our standard service area where the conditions allow.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long has Lawn Care Plus been operating?
Lawn Care Plus has been operating since 2002. The business was acquired by Nicholas Dunn in December 2019, and has since grown from around 120 clients to more than 300.

Do you have reviews or testimonials I can read?
Yes. You can read genuine client reviews on our Google Business Profile. We encourage prospective clients to look through these to get a clear sense of how we work and what existing clients think of our service.
What is the difference between Lawn Care Plus and a general garden service?
A general garden service typically focuses on mowing, trimming and tidying. Lawn Care Plus specialises in lawn health, soil treatment and the conditions that affect long-term growth. We also offer bespoke garden services, but the technical lawn work is what we are known for.
Which areas does Lawn Care Plus service?
We service Sandton, Randburg, Fourways and Midrand. If your property is on the edge of these areas, contact us to confirm availability.
Do you work with body corporates, estates and commercial properties?
Yes. We service residential homes, estates, body corporates and commercial properties across our service area. Larger sites are assessed and quoted individually.
How do I get started with Lawn Care Plus?
Get in touch through our contact page, by phone or by email. We will arrange a free on-site lawn inspection at a suitable time, assess your lawn and provide a detailed written quotation. There is no obligation to proceed.
Is the lawn inspection really free?
Yes. Every new enquiry includes a free on-site inspection. We assess your lawn, identify what is affecting its health or appearance, and provide a detailed written quotation with no obligation to proceed.
How quickly can someone come out for an assessment?
Most inspections are scheduled within a few working days of enquiry. We respond to all queries within 48 hours and arrange a suitable time from there.
Do you offer once-off services or only ongoing programmes?
Both. We offer once-off treatments for specific issues, as well as ongoing programmes for clients who want consistent care throughout the year. Most lawns benefit from a programme approach since soil-based improvements build up over time, but we will recommend what suits your lawn and your preferences.
Do you bring your own equipment and materials?
Yes. Our vehicles arrive fully equipped with everything needed for the scheduled work, including all products, tools and protective equipment. You do not need to provide anything from your side.
Do you remove garden waste after treatments?
Yes. We clear up after every visit and remove any garden waste produced during treatment. Your property is left clean and tidy before we leave.
Do you use chemical treatments or natural products?
Our approach prioritises soil health and natural inputs wherever possible. Our all-in-one natural soil treatment uses worm castings, compost tea, carbon and fine weed-free compost. When targeted treatments are needed for specific issues, we use them carefully and explain why.
What grass types do you treat?
We work with all common Gauteng lawn grasses. The inspection identifies your grass type and any factors specific to it, such as shade tolerance, seasonal dormancy or water requirements.
Can you help with a lawn that has completely died?
In most cases, yes. A lawn that looks dead often has more potential for recovery than expected, especially when the underlying soil conditions can be improved. Where recovery is not realistic, we can plant a new lawn and recommend the right grass type for your conditions. The inspection determines the best route forward.
What if my lawn has pests or fungal disease?
Pest and fungal issues are usually a sign that the lawn is under stress, often linked to soil condition, watering or shade. We identify the underlying cause during the inspection, apply targeted treatment where needed, and address the conditions that allowed the problem to develop. This reduces the chance of the issue returning.
How soon will I see results?
This depends on the condition of the lawn and the treatment plan. Some improvements are visible within a few weeks, while soil-based changes build up over a full growing season. We provide realistic expectations during the inspection so you know what to expect at each stage.
What happens if I am not happy with the results?
Let us know. We take feedback seriously and would rather address concerns directly than have a client walk away unhappy. In most cases we can adjust the treatment plan, follow up with additional work, or explain in more detail what is happening with the lawn and what to expect next.
