Watering Problems
If you see general brown spots the reason is often the lawn drying out. You can check for this by using a screwdriver in the affected areas and compare with good areas. If the brown areas are harder or dryer than the good areas you need to find out what is causing the problem.

Using pie pans to check the water coverage is the easiest way to check your sprinkler system. A 30% difference between pans in good areas and bad areas means the sprinklers system needs changing.

If it seems the dry areas are not caused by the sprinklers you need to aerate the lawn. We sell water aerators that make easy work of compaction.

Lawn Disease & Insects
If the problem is not a water issue we recommend you bring in a sample of the lawn. Pie-pan-sized and 1-2” thick samples are best for us to examine. One of our CCN’s will be glad to look it over. We also have an on site consultation service where someone comes to your house and helps solve garden problems. Only $65.00 per hour can get several garden problems solved. The Garden Crew can also help with irrigation problems.
