Signs Your Lawn May Need Help

Maintaining your lawn will soon become a full time job to keep it healthy and looking lush. A lawn service at the Lake of the Ozarks can perform a lawn evaluation and set up a proper treatment schedule to prevent it from becoming victim to pests and diseases. Here are some issues that generally require the help of a lawn care and pest control company at the Lake of the Ozarks:

Pests


If your lawn gets affected by insects, it should be easy to identify. It usually affects a widespread area and will be visible on the surface or if you roll back a bit of the grass. Animals such as skunks, raccoons, birds, and moles start digging up the turf to feed on grubs beneath the surface. 

Lawn Disease


If your lawn develops a disease, this can be harder to identify what is causing the problem. It would actually require the use of a microscope to see the fungus, bacteria, or virus that is responsible. However, on the surface you may notice irregular patches of browning grass. Another sign is generalized thinning and browning in various parts of the lawn. One common lawn fungus you may notice is mushrooms coming up through your yard.

Weeds


Weeds are the most common problems in lawns. Not only do they look bad, they compete with grass for water, nutrients, space, and light. They will flourish in shortly-cut grass. One way to keep them at bay is to mow your grass higher. Unfortunately, not all weeding tactics work against all types of weeds. Applying a pre-emergent weed control will help prevent them from coming up in the first place. 

Moss


Although not quite a weed, moss can become quite a nuisance in your yard. Moss cannot kill your grass, but can creep into your lawn if it has already started to die. If you start to see moss taking residence in your yard, this is a good indicator that something deeper is wrong with your lawn. It is just taking advantage of the empty dirt and dead grass left behind. 

Moles


Moles can create quite a mess, leaving their tunnels all over your yard. You know you have a mole problem if you discover visible trenches and dug-up soil in your yard. Some molehills can be substantial enough to damage lawn mower blades and housings.
