ABOUT LAWN PHIX
Hi there! I’m Mark Marino, the founder of Lawn Phix™. I started this site in 2019 to share real-world lawn care experience, product reviews, and DIY strategies for cool-season lawns. What began as a personal blog, operating as a licensed turf care business, has grown into a trusted, content-first resource for homeowners and lawn enthusiasts across the country.
Over the years, I’ve created hundreds of lawn care guides, seasonal calendars, and product breakdowns rooted in decades of experience and hands-on testing. From soil health and turf nutrition to crabgrass control and disease prevention, Lawn Phix gives you the tools and insights to grow greener, healthier grass — on your terms.
