Care for Your Lawn!
Even though having the perfect lawn might not be absolutely necessary, working for it can give you and your family a quiet refuge while also making you feel accomplished. The majority of lawn problems, fortunately, are really easy to resolve. Here are some common lawn problems and some solutions your residential landscaping service may provide.
Compacted Soil
Compacted soil is a severe problem for lawns. Even if everything was done correctly and the soil was adequately prepared before planting, the earth beneath every grass has a tendency to grow hard and compacted. High foot traffic is one of the key factors that contribute to soil compacting more quickly. After your grass has been compacted to contain air and water, just 10% of the area is still open. Since they cannot obtain any air, water, or fertilizer, the roots are severely under stress. This eventually harms the lawn and encourages the growth of weeds.
Brown Patches
Brown patch disease, which is brought on by a fungus, is the main reason why patches of dead or brown grass are irregularly shaped or round. These microorganisms go by the name Rhizoctonia Solani. Although it may damage a variety of grass types, tall fescue, and perennial ryegrass are the most common victims of this fungus. The harmed areas frequently exhibit erect grass blades with uneven tan blemishes and dark brown borders.
Moss
Moss will flourish on lawns that are shaded, wet, compacted, and under-fertilized. Such lawns will be completely overrun in no time. It sprouts and quickly spreads across a drenched grass in only a few short weeks. You’re more likely to find grass moss in the spring and fall, as well as commonly on lawns with poor drainage. The only way for moss to leave your lawn is if the circumstances that sustain it are changed. Moss spreads through spores. In some cases, compacted and acidic soil can also promote moss development.
