To get there, you may need to fix some common lawn problems. Don’t worry. There is a solution.

How to Fix 7 Common Lawn Problems

My grass is too thin

Thinning grass can be caused by harsh weather and games like tag or roughhousing with your pet. It appears that it is time for you to over-seed. After you have mowed your lawn, you can turn the mower down and rake it. Follow the instructions on your label to add the product onto your spreader.

After watering your lawn for about 2 weeks, you are able to resume mowing when your grass has reached the right height. It will vary depending on the type of grass. This article explains how to overseed a thin lawn.

My Lawn is Clean

If your grass is in poor condition but still has bare spots, you might consider a different approach. These areas can be restored by Scotts(r), EZ seed(r), Patch & Repair or Scotts(r), Sprouts ™.

Scotts(r) has created EZ Seed(r), a premium blend of high-performance seed, continuous release lawn foods and super-absorbent growing material. Spread the seeds according to the instructions. You should water the grass seedlings daily until they reach 2 inches in height. You can then treat them as any other lawn.

With Sprouts(tm), you can begin the growing process in your bag. You can add 3 cups of water to your bag and wait for 3 days before spreading the already growing grass on any areas that are bare. Follow the label instructions to see grass grow in just days. (We know, it’s blowing away!)

My lawn has brown spots.

This is more complicated, but it’s possible there are many causes. There could be many causes including foot traffic, grubs, fungus and dog urine. Before spraying or spreading any product, you need to identify the problem.

• If critters like raccoons and skunks dig in your yard, you may have grubs. Section 4 explains what you can do.
• Spots made from dog urine may have brown centers and green outer rings. Use Scotts(r), EZ Seed (r), Dog Spot Repair Sun & Shade, or Scotts(r), EZ Seed (r) if you have tall fescue.
• Fungus can lead to patches of yellow-colored, straw-colored grass with irregular shapes and sizes. Scotts(r), DiseaseEx ™, Lawn Fungicide can be used to combat the fungal disease. You can kill many fungal diseases in as little as four weeks. Follow all label instructions.
• Scotts(r), EZ seed(r), Patch & Repair are products that can be used for treating brown spots and areas affected by foot traffic.

I believe there may be Grubs on my Lawn

If you discover more than a few Cshaped, fat grubs in your soil, you should immediately take action. Here’s the way the life cycle works: In the spring, the beetles feed on plants and appear in the summer. They then lay eggs in the soil. The eggs hatch in late summer as grubs. They then start to eat grass roots and plant roots.

You can stop this cycle by treating your lawn before the eggs hatch. Use GrubEx(r) in the spring and early-summer. To activate your spreader, fill it with the right amount of product.

Dollarweed, Oxalis, Oxalis, and Crabgrass can all be problems for Lawn-caretakers

Lawn-care professionals should be aware of the dangers of weeds like crabgrass, dollarweed, dandelions and oxalis. The next section will discuss crabgrass issues. This is the section for all other weed problems. You can prevent this problem from ever occurring by maintaining the health of your grass.

These mowing tips will help you water your lawn. It is important to fertilize your lawn regularly. You can feed your grass with Scotts(r), Turf Building(r), Weed & Feed3*. If you have only a few, Scotts(r), Spot Weed Treatment For Lawns may be an option.

Crabgrass can be a problem

This is undisputed. It is better to stop it growing. Use Scotts(r) Turf Builder(r] Halts Crabgrass Preventer* and Lawn Food* in the spring to stop it from sprouting.

This will help protect your lawn and keep it healthy all year. Crabgrass is already an issue. Scotts(r), Spot weed Treatment for Lawns can stop it from growing cold. This will kill crabgrass down to its roots without causing any damage to your lawn.

My Lawn has Yellow Streaks

It isn’t a bad thing. However, it could be an indication that fertilizer was applied incorrectly. This happens to everyone. You should move slowly with your spreader to ensure coverage. There may be yellow streaks on grass that hasn’t been fertilized. This could contrast with the lush green grass nearby. You can improve the way you apply your lawn care products to ensure that it grows green.

A beautiful lawn doesn’t require you to spend too much time. You can maintain your lawn well and spot any potential problems before they become major. What will you find? What will you see? It is a lush green oasis you will enjoy spending time in.
