Lawn Care

Getting rid of lawn mites can be tricky, but it doesn’t have to be. If you act quickly, there are simple steps you can take to get rid of the pests without harming your grass.

If you’ve recently seeded your lawn, it can be absolutely devastating to see weeds crop up amongst the lush and verdant grass. Not only do they detract from the beauty of a yard, but they also compete with grass for water and nutrients.

Walking on grass can temporarily damage the blades of grass, but unless it is done in a continuous, heavy manner over time, it won’t kill the grass. When you walk on lawns and other turf-covered areas, your weight sinks down into the soil beneath the grass. This compresses and flattens the soil particles together, which can damage the roots of the grass.

If you’ve never seen a grass bubble in your lawn, it can be a bit of a surprise. Grass bubbles looks like blisters under the grass and can be pretty tricky to get rid of.

Mowing your lawn can have a negative effect on its health and may even cause serious damage. Yellow grass in the trail of your lawnmower could indicate underlying issues with your lawn.

Do you have rocks in your lawn? If so, you’re not alone. A lot of people struggle with this problem. Rocks can be a pain to get rid of – but not only do they make your lawn less aesthetically pleasing, they also can prevent plants from growing and they even can damage your lawnmower when they go noticed.

Drying up your lawn may initially seem like a daunting task, especially if you have a muddy yard with stagnant water. A wet lawn can cause a myriad of problems such as dying plants, grass, insect infestations, mosquito breeding and other issues with pests. To avoid all of these difficulties, learning how to dry out a wet lawn is crucial.

Having a green and healthy lawn is the goal of almost every homeowner. However, sometimes despite our best efforts, grass can develop white tips. This is most likely caused by powdery mildew. This is sometimes called “white grass,” because it looks like flour was sprinkled on top of the grass.

If you don’t remove weeds before planting grass, the weeds will compete with your grass over the soil, and your grass might die. If you properly remove the weeds first, your grass will grow thick and strong.
