- 13How to stop animals from digging holes in my lawn at nightNournal animals like raccoons and skunks dig up lawns to hunt for grubs and underground food sources. This destructive foraging leaves yards covered in holes, completely ruining the turf.
- 13Should I kill crabgrass in late summer or wait for spring?Killing a heavy crabgrass infestation in mid-September is rarely effective because the plants are already mature and will die off naturally with the first frost anyway. Waiting for the seasonal die-off and applying a pre-emergent herbicide in the spring prevents new seeds from germinating, which stops the endless cycle of trying to salvage a weed-choked lawn by hand.
- 5When can I put weed killer down after overseeding?Applying pre-emergents or herbicides too soon after overseeding risks damaging your newly germinated grass, but waiting too long risks losing control of weeds like poa annua, wild violets, clover, and dandelions before winter. This leaves lawn owners struggling to figure out the exact safe timing and product choices for weed control during the fall transition.
- 2Why is my grass getting bright lime green patches?Bright green patches appear in lawns when certain fast-growing grass types or invasive weeds take over a section of the yard. This stark color difference makes the lawn look uneven and disrupts its uniform appearance.
