There are a number of reasons why a homeowner may consider getting some sort of lawn treatment or lawn treatment service. Maybe there are brown spots in the lawn, or grass that appears to be dying in certain areas. Well, there are a variety of things that can damage a lawn and that would require lawn treatment. Lawn damaging insects such as grubs, chinch bugs or armyworms could be invading the lawn. Dollar spot, a disease caused by a fungus that lurks in the crowns and roots of infected plants during their dormant season, could be taking over. These are just a few of the conditions that might require a special lawn treatment, and are many others to consider as well.

Lawn disease can happen anywhere and to any kind of lawn, no matter how healthy you think your lawn is. Some common lawn diseases you might encounter are brown patch, rust, and dollar spot. Brown patch is a lawn fungus that commonly starts out as a small brown spot and then quickly spreads. Dollar spot, most common in the early summer, is another type of quick- spreading lawn fungus. Have you ever seen orange-colored grass blades? They are most likely infected by a lawn disease known as rust. If you suspect that your lawn is unhealthy and has one of these lawn diseases, it's best to call the lawn disease experts at TruGreen.

No homeowner wants to hear that his or her beautiful, green lawn is under attack, but the truth is that your lawn is fighting a constant battle against nature. Drought and weeds are tough enough to combat, but when you include lawn damaging insects like grub worms into the mix, it's enough to make the most vigilant homeowner nervous. Watch this video to learn about grub worms and how they can best be controlled in your lawn.

Do you ever wonder why overseeding your lawn is sometimes necessary? Or when considering something like spring lawn care, do you wonder if overseeding is the right option for you? Overseeding lawns is a proven method that can dramatically improve your lawn's overall health, making it thicker and more likely to fend off weeds. TruGreen® PhD certified specialists are experienced when it comes to the task of overseeding lawns.

Proper lawn care requires proper watering, which is extremely important for achieving a healthy, green lawn. However, proper lawn care is not always intuitive, nor is it always uniform. When it comes to watering and maintaining a healthy lawn, it's important to have knowledge of your climate and growing conditions as well as exactly how much water your lawn needs. For example, dry environments require a style of lawn care distinct from wet environments, and clay soil needs a style of lawn care that is different from that needed for peaty soil. Of course, proper lawn care encompasses much more than watering, as that is just one aspect of maintaining a healthy lawn.
