All-Star Lawns Start With Weed Man

If your brown or yellow spots aren’t responding to water or fertilizer, this could be a warning sign that something is stealing your turf’s nutrients.

The culprit may be:

• Lawn pests (grubs, chinch bugs, or cutworms)
• Lawn diseases (dollar spot, brown patch, or snow mould)
• Nutrient-stealing weeds (crabgrass or dandelions)

If you have stubborn patches that won’t go away, start right now by finding the Weed Man in your area.

Healthy and vibrant lawns require 1-2 aerations per year. This is particularly true if you’re experiencing:

• Thin/Patchy Grass: If you’ve never had great coverage in certain areas, aeration can be a game-changer.
• Hard or Compacted Soil: You may need to open things up to let in water, nutrients, and high-quality seed.
• Thick Thatch: This layer of dead grass may be preventing your lawn from thriving.
• Pools/puddles: Poor water absorption is a telltale sign that your lawn needs aeration.
• Heavy Foot Traffic: A well-used and well-loved yard gets a lot of foot traffic, which means compacted soil.

And you will see some truly amazing results when aeration is combined with overseeding.

Our process typically involves you requesting a free quote for your lawn. We use satellite imagery to measure your serviceable area and layer in your concerns and inputs, seasonal pressures, and local grass needs to create a tailored treatment plan for your lawn. Our programs generally include fertilization, weed control, and/or pest management services applied by a trained Weed Man technician over multiple visits to your property.

Your exact program will depend heavily on where you live, because factors like climate, soil temperature, soil composition, and local agronomics play a significant role in our treatment strategies.

After a long and cold winter, it’s easy to want to jump right into yard season as soon as the snow melts.

You may be ready to dive right into spring, but your lawn may not be. We recommend you ease into spring by doing the following:

1. Remove sticks, branches, or stones that made their way into your yard over the winter.
2. Rake very lightly. Do not damage the soft and vulnerable turf.
3. Don’t start fertilizing until your lawn is ready to absorb it: When it starts to green and grow.
4. Consider aeration to set yourself up for a great growing season
5. Leave grass clippings on after mowing. Grass is more than 90% water.

Of course, the best results come from working with an experienced lawn care technician who can come up with a custom plan for a season of success.
