Whether you are about to embark on your first lawn, or whether you have had lawns for many years, there are always going to be questions that you have when it comes to lawn care. Some of these questions are easy to answer, and some may require more research. However, all of these questions can be answered in some way or another. Firstly, there is plenty of lawn care information to be found. so where do you start? The best place to get such information is at your local lawn and garden stores. These stores are going to know the climate and the temperature of the exact location in which you live, and therefore,it is always a good idea to check with them first. They’ll be able to give you plenty of good advice when it comes to lawn care information, and they will most likely be able to answer most of your questions first hand, saving you incredible amount of time and frustration.

Lawn Care Information Is Available Everywhere

However, if you have some tough and unusual questions, it is sometimes best to check on the internet or at the local library, because there might be something that is not very common that is going on in your lawn. If you have a bit of grass or a weed that no one can identify immediately, it is always a good idea to get more opinions before you try to deal with your problems yourself. Therefore, if you have lots of things to consider and you need more lawn care information, you should check online or ask someone at one of your local stores if they can point you in the right direction so that you can get some good answers and some good lawn care information easily and free.

Another important thing to remember when it comes to the lawn care information is to be sure that you are listening to more than one opinion. Like many things, lawn care is something that many people believe in different ways about, and it might be easy to go with whatever the first person you ask gives you for that advice. However, sometime they can be wrong, so it is always important to get more lawn care information from someone else. Lawn care is both an art and a science, and therefore most people will have different opinions on how to go about doing it. Unless you can form your own opinion, try to go with what the majority of people say about a certain problem you might be having with your lawn.

Summer is a time to enjoy being outside with your family. Barbeques and playing games in the yard are integral parts of the summertime experience. However, summer can wreak havoc on the health of your lawn, with extended hours of heat and warm weather pests. Having a professional company handle your lawn care and maintenance can leave you with a beautiful lawn all summer long - and leave you with enough time to enjoy it.

Lawn maintenance professionals know where to look for evidence of current or future insect and lawn disease problems and can usually stop the problems before they become serious threats to your lawn. The following tips are great for those who handle their own lawn care and maintenance and also serve as a great way to check up on your lawn in-between professional visits.

Lawn Grubs are a unique problem in lawns, because they work underground where they can’t be seen while doing their damage. They feed on tender grass roots, which cuts off the lawn’s source of water and nutrients. Lawn grubs are actually the larvae of a variety of beetles that lay their eggs in the summer, beneath the soil surface in the lawn. The eggs soon hatch and the larvae devour grass roots. Although the damage is done at that time, it may not show up until weeks or months later (when it is far too late to do anything about it).

Left untreated, the lawn will eventually turn brown and die. In severe cases, all the roots are severed and the sod can be rolled up like a carpet. To help prevent this, most lawn care professionals offer season-long protection against damaging lawn grubs with as little as one application.

Sod Webworms are one of the most common insect pests. Webworms are difficult to spot in a lawn since they’re small and tend to stay at the soil surface (where they feed on the crowns of grass plants). Lawn care pros are trained to recognize the early signs of webworm damage. However, the best way to deal with sod webworms is to stop them before they start. Webworms are the larvae of small, tan colored moths that can be seen flitting about the lawn when the grass is disturbed. A few moths are normal in a lawn, but large numbers indicate that it’s time to use a control to stop the larvae that will hatch soon after the eggs are laid.

Unwanted pests are not the only cause of brown, unsightly lawns. As summer temperatures rise, conditions are ripe for the infestation of lawn diseases such as dollar spot and brown patch disease. Here are the common symptoms of these lawn diseases to watch out for:

Dollar spot starts as individual brown spots about the size of a silver dollar. As the spots increase in number, they begin to join together, forming larger brown areas. If the disease is allowed to reach this stage, recovery can be slow, reducing the beauty of your lawn.

Brown Patch Disease starts in small patches a few inches in diameter and grows to cover large areas of lawn. Frequently, a “smoke ring” of dark-gray, spider-web-like mycelium may surround the area.

Follow these tips and you can enjoy the comfort of a lush, green lawn all summer long.

Broadleaf Plantain, also know by the scientific name Plantago majo, is a short, leafy plant that loves to grow in thin and weakened sections of your lawn.

There is one problem with this pest, It forms large spreading colonies, suffocating the grass around it.

I’ve seen lawns absolutely covered with this stuff.

Here is some basic information about this weed:

It grows everywhere in the United States, southern Canada, most of Europe, and northern and central Asia. Grows well in full sun or partial shade. Its rosette of leaves is 5-10 inches across, with each leaf being 2-8 inches long, and 1-4 inches wide. The leaves hug the ground, and crowd out healthy grass. The main advantage that this plant has is that it grows better than others where the soil is compacted. So if your lawn has a small gap it can easly grow there even if the soil is firm, choking out the grass around it.

Early summer through September you will see the seed stalks rising. It spreads from seeds and also re-sprouts roots below the ground. If Broadleaf Plantain is appearing, it can be an indication that you are mowing your grass too low.

If you want to try removing this plant yourself, the only way is to dig them out. You will need to do this repeatedly over several months in order to effectively control the plants. Removing the plants before they produce seed also helps to speed up the process.

If you try pulling the plants out by grasping the leaves, they tend to break off, allowing the roots to continue spreading beneath the ground, forming new plants. Mowing does not work because of how low the leaves lie. Additionally, seeds and plant parts can contaminate your lawn mower and other equipment, so mowing will just spread the plants to new areas.

Herbacides can be effective to control plantain seedlings, and can also reduce the vigor of established plantain plants. Please ask your lawn care company for help in applying the correct herbacides for this weed.

Dallas lawn care does not have to be complicated. Having a great looking lawn and garden really doesn’t have to take a lot of work, or use a lot of water. With the proper planning and preparation you can design and landscape your land so that it will be easy to care for and better for the environment. The ideas for landscaping in Dallas, Texas below should help to get you on the right track.

If you want to minimize water usage and maintenance, the first thing you will need to do is design your Dallas landscaping based on the plants that are native to the area and do well with the type of soil that you have. Most garden centers can help you to get a better idea of which plants these are, or you can go to a number of different websites that will let you do a search based on the area you live in and tell you which would be your best bets when it comes to plants. Doing some research and choosing the right plants will mean less work for you in the long run.

You also want your plan for landscaping in Dallas, Texas to take into account they type of land that you are using. You want to plant things on slopes that will help to hold the soil in place, and you will want to plant things that need more water at the bottom of hills so they can take advantage of runoff. Getting the help of someone familiar with this type of landscaping can make this easier.

It is also important to get your soil tested before planning your landscaping in Dallas, Texas. This will help you to figure out which types of plants will grow best, and will allow for you to add compost or other materials to help you prepare the soil so that your plants will grow better.

Mulching is also very important. This will help to prevent weeds from growing, make it less likely that water will evaporate from the soil before it gets to the plants, and also help to keep the soil at a good temperature. Properly mulching each year can minimize the amount of maintenance that you will need to do on your landscaping.

Finally, you will want to make sure to irrigate properly when it is needed. Most people give plants too much water too quickly, so they are unable to take advantage of all the water and much is wasted.

So as you can see, Dallas TX lawn care does not have to be complicated.

My grass was burned out from last year’s dry summer. I need to bring it back, and would like to know the best way. If the lawn care service is better, do you think I need to contract them for the whole summer? Or just a couple times and follow up with my own fertilizer (Scott’s)? Thank you!
