Identify Common Lawn Problems & Diseases
Maintaining a thriving lawn requires vigilance and an understanding of potential problems. At Gillam Lawncare & Landscaping LLC, we're experts at identifying and addressing common lawn issues that can detract from the health and beauty of a yard.
Here's what to look for:
- Brown patches: These discolored areas can signal various problems, including fungal diseases like brown patches and dollar spots. These diseases thrive in conditions of excessive moisture, poor drainage, or compacted soil. Identifying the specific culprit is crucial for effective treatment.
- Thinning or bare spots: These areas may indicate damage from insect infestations, particularly grubs that feed on grass roots. Compacted soil, improper mowing practices, or even pet urine can also contribute to thinning.
- Yellowing grass: This discoloration often points to nutrient deficiencies, particularly nitrogen or iron. Soil pH imbalances can also hinder nutrient uptake, leading to yellowing. In some cases, localized yellowing may be caused by dog urine, which contains high levels of nitrogen.
- Weeds: The presence of specific weeds can offer clues about underlying soil conditions or lawn health issues. For instance, broadleaf weeds like dandelions often thrive in lawns with low soil fertility, while crabgrass may indicate compacted soil or poor drainage.
Regularly inspecting a lawn for these signs and understanding their potential causes allows for prompt intervention. If a homeowner is uncertain about the health of a lawn or needs assistance with diagnosis and treatment, our experienced team is ready to help. We offer comprehensive lawn care solutions tailored to your specific needs.

How to Achieve the Perfect Cut for Your Lawn
Proper mowing practices are crucial for maintaining a healthy and vibrant lawn. Professionals recommend following the "one-third rule," which states that no more than one-third of the grass blade should be removed in a single mowing. This principle minimizes stress on the turf, allowing it to efficiently recover and allocate resources towards root development and overall health.
Determining the optimal mowing height requires consideration of the specific grass species. However, as a general guideline, maintaining a slightly taller lawn provides numerous benefits. Taller grass blades effectively shade the soil surface, reducing moisture evaporation and inhibiting weed germination by limiting sunlight availability. For cool-season grasses prevalent in Springfield, such as Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and tall fescue, a mowing height of approximately 3 inches is recommended.
Mowing frequency is influenced by several factors, including grass type, growth rate, environmental conditions, and time of year. During periods of rapid growth, typically in spring and early fall, weekly mowing may be necessary. Conversely, less frequent mowing may suffice during slower growth periods, such as mid-summer or late fall. Adjusting the mowing frequency based on these factors ensures optimal turf health and aesthetic appeal. By adhering to these mowing practices, Gillam Lawncare & Landscaping LLC promotes healthy, resilient lawns that enhance the beauty and value of a property.
