What are the problems you're looking to avoid? You've probably already seen some of them on your property. As we mention them, you'll likely nod your head. Let's take a quick look at these problems and some reasons why they happen.

Weeds: It doesn't take much for weeds to take root and start to spread across your yard. There are simple, all-natural steps to address certain weeds, such as letting your turf grass grow high enough to overshadow the weeds so they can't get the light they need. You can also pluck weeds by hand—just make sure to pull steady and get the roots out. The most common solution is to throw lawn fertilizer and weed control products on the lawn. But you can do this and still have weeds persist. It is critical to choose the right pre-emergents and post-emergents for the specific weeds in your lawn. 

Oversaturation: This is a big one, we touched on it already. In spring and summer, we can get a ton of rain. All of that rain can wash away topsoil, oversaturate the soil, and give your lawn way too much of a good thing. When topsoil is washed away, nutrients go with it. When your soil gets damp, it can invite diseases. There is also the issue that your lawn needs oxygen. Yes. Plants need oxygen. While your plants take in carbon dioxide from the air, they need oxygen from the soil. The result of poor oxygen and oversaturation is often root rot.

Diseases: The list of lawn diseases that attack Venice lawns is shocking. We have brown patch, dollar spots, root rot, grey leaf spots, fairy rings, and more. These diseases often occur when lawns are oversaturated. But there is no way to keep the water off your lawn, so you need to know how to address turfgrass diseases with appropriate products. 

Drought Stress: Not getting enough water is just as bad as getting too much water. Have you ever noticed lawns turning brown in the fall or winter? That is typically a drought issue. A lawn that is under drought stress needs fertilizer. If you're putting fertilizer down only in the spring to encourage new growth, you're depriving your lawn of an essential piece for healthy growth during the time of year when it isn't getting enough water. Adding fertilizer and watering your lawn can bring it back to life.

Pests: There are so many pests in Florida, it's alarming! We have armyworms nibbling on the tops of our grass. We have grubs that nibble at the roots of our grass. We have chinch bugs, mole crickets, sod webworms, and so many more. All of these pests attack your turfgrass in unique ways. The damage caused by these pests is sometimes mistaken for drought stress, disease, or weed issues.    

The primary benefit to having year-round lawn and weed control is that we address these problems with effective solutions, and you don't have to think about them! Our service professionals are trained to proactively provide your lawn with what it needs and evaluate your lawn to determine what it needs throughout the year.
