I’m extremely pleased by the service I’ve received from DFW Turfgrass Science and my lawn has never looked better. Historically, my lawn has looked fairly good some years and not so good other years. My lawn used to be mainly Bermuda but started having issues in the shade so I partially installed St Augustine sod about 6 years ago. By 2018 it was looking pretty good again. Then the winter storm of 2021 and the following 2 summers decimated my lawn. I watered more and more and followed all the fertilizer recommendations but it only kept getting worse and worse. Half of my lawn was dead by the fall of 2023. I spoke to Dennis from DFW Turfgrass Science and he immediately knew what I had begun to suspect was wrong with my lawn. But that was only first of several issues that needed to be fixed. I immediately signed up for residential lawn consultation services. This included soil testing (he sends lawn samples to two independent labs), disease, insect & weed treatments as well as fertilizing. He also helped tune my sprinkler system with new sprinkler heads that I didn’t know existed. But the most important service was friendly advice on how to really care for my lawn. Now my lawn looks lush and healthy and my family and I love it. If you’re willing to take advice and have the patience to let the soil and lawn heal, then I’m sure they can help you too. Thank you DFW Turfgrass Science

Plano, TX I had tried everyone and every treatment to get my St. Augustine to fill in and look good. The diagnostics and disease testing done by Dennis and and DFW Turfgrass Science have been highly successful and my yard now looks great. Dave

My partner and I worked with DFW Turfgrass Science LLC for a year to help with our lawn. In short, we moved into a new house with a terrible lawn. As in, there was nothing but weeds and dirt. Not knowing anything about lawns at the time, we figured we could just throw some grass seeds out there and hope for the best. After another company quickly told us they could not help us do to the lawn having TARR (lawn disease) which needed to be treated first, we didn't think there was much we could do. I found Dennis' company online and he came over to give us a breakdown of what our lawn would go through in a year. And a year later, I am glad to report that lawn is finally green! Now Dennis isn't your typical "lawn guy." This guy is seriously smart when it comes to the science behind grass. Each month we received an e-mail telling us exactly how to water our lawn, how much, how often, etc. It's not a big crew who comes out and throws fertilizer at your shrubs and leaves. It's him. One guy who takes his time with each visit. One thing that I really liked about him was how he wants perfection for you and your lawn. And if you ask him, he will definitely tell you things you can do to get the perfect lawn. There's smart, and then there's that sciency smart where he could give a Master Class on a specific grass species and how "it needs exactly this much sun a day so pay attention to that oak tree's shadow over there and also the dew point is a bit low today so watch out for that", kind of thing. However, if you're like us and just want a nice enough lawn, he can also simply things for you. Overall, great guy and great company! I would highly recommend giving DFW Turfgrass Science LLC a go if you're looking to really narrow in on how to better your lawn.

My front lawn was dying, and I couldn't fix it even though I tried all sorts of things. Then I realized I needed a smart person - a lawn consultant, who knows all about grasses and soil diseases and getting proper sunlight and even sprinklers. I'm so glad I found Dennis and Turfgrass Science, he was just the expert I needed. He analyzed the situation for my specific lawn and gave me a solid, science-based solution for what to grow, where to grow it, what to do with my trees in terms of sunlight and he even takes soil samples and checks for problems. At the end, a thorough report, with recommendation right down to care and fertilizing complete the picture. If you are having lawn troubles, call him! Highly recommended!

Have been using Dennis' services here at my Carrollton home for two years and couldn't be more pleased. I spent years resodding and treating it myself and wondering why my yard kept having strange diseases and never looked any better. I finally gave up and turned it over to a professional, and Dennis now has it looking 100% better. If you're at your wits end about why your yard never gets any better, I would definitely recommend letting Dennis treat it professionally.

Dennis was very friendly and thorough with his explanations. For someone who has no knowledge of lawn care and with the issues my lawn has, Dennis has been helping me get started. I will be doing his DIY plan that is tailored specifically to my lawn and the issues it has. I am excited to continue working with DFW Turfgrass and learn how to properly tend to my lawn. Dallas, TX

We hired Dennis to consult on our Zoysia lawn and get it to where we think it should be. He is organized and clearly knowledgeable about turf. He approaches the problem from a scientific standpoint and gave us some great no-nonsense feedback on how we can improve our lawn's health and appearance. We are early in the process, but have already begun making some changes he recommended and look forward to continuing our work with Dennis.

Dennis is the real thing. I’ve watched almost every YouTube video you can imagine to try and learn how to cultivate a great lawn but it’s difficult when you need to troubleshoot specific issues like weak spots in your yard or irrigation coverage challenges. I worked with Dennis because I wanted an *actual* lawn expert, not a YouTuber, to walk my yard and it was well worth it (like seeing a doctor vs using webMD). He was with me for hours walking the yard, fixing irrigation issues, taking stolon and soil plug samples, and teaching me the entire time with advice tailored for north central Texas (I’m in Roanoke TX). Highly recommend to anyone who wants a golf course quality lawn!

Found his website. Completed form with details in late April 2024. Asked for a paid consult ($500) and was told Im very busy right now and would rather pass on the consult than lead you to believe it is going to solve all of your problems for $500. Im turning down residential work all over the metroplex. Rattled on about the issues with St. Augustine TARR and how the issues were impossible to solve. I clearly stated I have Bermuda, not St. Augustine. Great business model...

I was very impressed and happy with the services provided by DFW Turfgrass Science. Dennis came out and was very thorough in evaluating my lawn and providing solutions. I ve spent too much money re-sodding. I needed some real analysis of what the issues were and Dennis provided the answers.

I am happy to have found Denis at DFW Turfgrass last year. Other big company chemical outfits were not helpful in determining the issues my Zoysia was having. Denis takes time to evaluate my yard each time he visits and you can tell his recommendations are based on experience. Scott in Frisco

Dennis went above and beyond during my natural turfgrass consultation and the soil testing process to address the deficiencies in my soil prior to having new new zoysia grass installed. In addition, he even drafted a letter to my HOA regarding the need for removal of a tree in the parkway of our front yard to increase the prospects of the grass growing. Overall, a very positive experience to ensure the soil is ready for new grass to be installed in the near term.

I dont do reviews. Figured you either like a product/service or you dont. However, I wanted to share my experience with DFW Turfgrass Science in case their were similar homeowners who find themselves in a situation like I was in 10 months ago. As an old high school baseball coach, I thought I was knowledgeable about the maintenance/care of grass, always took pleasure in a well manicured lawn but my front yard was embarrassing. I reached out to Dennis, who is amiable and was thoughtful of my situation. With his wisdom and insight, and really like an encouraging teacher, he coached me on the steps and direction we needed to go. We chose a plan that I could pass thru headquarters (my wife) and almost a year later with his guidance, Im more than satisfied! Everything he said and trusted him on came true. My yard is back and better than ever! ....dont know if this helps you.... but as for me....Im a firm believer in good people, and this company, its services and in particular Dennis, did not disappoint.

Dennis is incredibly knowledgeable about turf. He is awesome. For years I was using TruGreen and all of their predecessor companies. They would apply their standard chemicals and my lawn never looked great. I was not satisfied. They simply did not listen. We told them over and over and over not to use preemergent on the grass. Over and over they did. Finally, I had just planted winter fescue when they came along and applied preemergent again, killing all of my newly planted grass. Something had to change. I found Dennis with DFW Turfgrass Science on a web search. This is a small business with incredible knowledge. Guess what? Dennis first step was to take a sample of my soil and send it to Texas A&M for analysis. TruGreen NEVER did this. Dennis found that the reason my lawn did not look good was because it had a fungus. Dennis treated our lawn for fungus and it immediatly responded. Dennis also made suggestion concerning the irrigation. (ie changing nozzles for better coverage) Huh, the irrigation folks never did that either. Bottom line is our grass (even with this heat spell) never looked better. If you want someone to give your grass personalized attention that works, call Dennis. If you want someone to spray your lawn with chemicals assuming it will make your lawn look better then choose TruGreen. As for me I am very please with DFW Turfgrass Science.

There is a lot to know about taking care of a yard that I had no idea about. If you can see somethings not right call an expert who can explain and fix whats going on.

Dennis is very knowledgeable on lawns and helped me with a plan to get my lawn into shape. He helped with irrigation locations and effectiveness, as well as soil samples and fertilization. He also helped with weed identification and the best pre and post emergents to target them. If you are a homeowner looking to have the best lawn possible and willing to do the labor yourself, this is a must have service.

Dennis came out and spent several hours with us. Within minutes I knew we were in such good hands. He is extremely knowledgable and put us on a plan to take care of our failing St. Augustine grass. He advised us on drainage and irrigation and took several soil samples. No more costly guesswork - Dennis is a scientist who thinks like an engineer. He is the expert youre been for! We are in Keller.

DFW Turfgrass has done a fine job diagnosing (in cooperation with Texas A&M labs) my lawns multiple issues. To me, this was the first thing our yard needed: accurate initial diagnosis of disease and nutrient deficiencies. Then, applying the monthly gold plan treatments and faithfully following Denniss instructions on mowing and watering have really helped turn around the health of our grass. Very happy with this service!

I will be honest... I felt that we should have paid for the free consultation we received, because it was so extremely helpful and thorough! We are waiting on our quote, but I think I learned about 15 things I needed to know just from the consultation. It was extremely helpful, and he was on time.

I was looking for some minor yardwork and was referred to this place by our LGBTQ community to support a fellow owner. Ive noticed that DFW turfgrass science LLC doesnt seem to exit - when I tried to clarify it with the owner (Zedrick probably) he became very hostile very quickly. Something is shady here. I was also expecting a community member to be more friendly but still giving a two star rating - an extra star to support an LGBTQ owner.

I ve known Dennis for a long time and have always called him my lawn and garden expert. So I reached out to him when we moved from Oklahoma to Plano, TX a few years ago as the St. Augustine sod looked terrible. It was yellowish with dead roots showing everywhere. I initially asked if sod replacement was the best fix and he told me the black gumbo soil in our area was not good and there was too much shade. He said we needed to start lowering the PH. His company brought us old-fashioned Ammonium Sulfate for fertilizer, Iron, and ag grade sulphur pellets. It turns out our yard also had the bad TARR virus that affects St. Augustine. But when we applied everything he gave us along with several additional rounds of peat moss we had the best yard (by far) in our entire neighborhood the following year. DFW Gardening & Landscaping may not be the cheapest, but I think they are the most knowledgeable and will always shoot you straight. I know we have offered them work before and they turned us down, giving us alternatives to not spend money. I m happy to hear they are expanding and I highly recommend you give them a call if you are having sod, turf, or tree issues in north Dallas.

Dennis was great to work with. He provided honest feedback to all of our questions which helped us decide on the right type of sod for our yard. We love that the sod is guaranteed. He and his crew worked very hard to complete the job and they cared about the quality. Some of the sod pieces didnt look healthy, but he replaced them without us even asking. They did a good job cleaning up afterwards too. We would use them again.
