10 Common Lawn Problems and How Fox Can Help Solve Them

Your lawn may look like it’s thriving, but there are a few common issues that can creep up and ruin the view. Here’s how to spot and tackle them:

1. Bare Patches

Often caused by wear and tear or pests. Solution? Reseeding and soil treatments.

2. Weeds

Dandelions, clover, and other nuisances steal nutrients. Regular weed control is key.

3. Thatch Buildup

Too much thatch blocks water and nutrients. Aeration helps break it up.

4. Overwatering or Underwatering

Both can wreak havoc. Aim for deep, even watering a couple of times a week.

5. Yellow or Brown Spots

This could mean pests, diseases, or nutrient deficiencies. Diagnosis is step one.

6. Compacted Soil

Prevents roots from growing deep. Aeration loosens it up.

7. Lawn Grubs

If birds are digging at your lawn, you might have grubs. Pest treatments can help.

8. Uneven Growth

Caused by uneven watering or shading. Adjustments can make all the difference.

9. Fungus

Circular patches or odd discoloration? A fungicide might be needed.

10. Scalping

Mowing too short damages your grass. Always keep your mower height in check.

At Fox Mowing & Gardening, we’ve seen (and fixed) it all. Whether it’s weeds, grubs, or compacted soil, we’ll get your lawn back to its best in no time.
