Lawn Problems and Solutions

Lawns, Trees, Gardens, and Irrigation/Sprinkler Systems can present a variety of problems that require attention to maintain your landscape as a source of pride and pleasure. From thin grass, brown spots, weeds, grubs, bugs, and crabgrass to malfunctioning sprinkler systems, Heritage Lawns and Heritage Irrigation have the solution. 

Grass is Thin	Solution
Poor Fertility     The lawn is not being fertilized properly or sufficiently.
Drought Issues   The lawn is not receiving the right amount of water at the right time.
Shade Problems   Sometimes shade can be a problem for grass.  Maybe there is a better type of grass seed we can use, or maybe we have to come up with a totally different solution.  Sometimes, it is just a matter of adjusting the way we treat the lawn.
Traffic   Traffic on the lawn from pets and/or people can wreak havoc on grass.  There are things that can be done to fix it.
Disease   There are several types of lawn disease.  Many times they appear in ring-shaped formations.
Insects   Identification and control of damaging insects on lawns can be difficult unless you know what to look for and where to look.  Lawn damaging insects can be classified into two distinct types.  This helps make identification and control easier.  These insect types are root feeders and blade feeders.

Buried Rocks and Debris   Sometimes there is buried rocks and other debris which can cause brown spots to occur in the same area of the lawn, year after year.  Often, these brown spots occur during times of heat stress and drought.
Pet Damage   Whether it is spots caused by a pet on the lawn or tracks caused by pets running in a path on the lawn, we can help!

Grass is Not Green Enough	Solution
Poor Fertility     The lawn is not being fertilized properly or enough.
Drought Problems   The lawn isn't receiving the right amount of water at the right time.
Dull Mower Blades   Dull mower blades can cause the grass blade to have brown ends and appear to have less desireable color.
Poor Grass Varieties   Sometimes our lawns change with landscaping and time so that the type of grass we originally planted is not necessarily the best type of grass for today.
Improper Soil pH   Correct lawn care practices are not being followed.

Lawn is Dying Out	Solution

Weeds / Neighbors Weeds	Solution
Lack of Weed Control     There are two types of plants that we deal with at Heritage Lawns. They are turf grasses (or grasses) and broadleaf plants. To determine the differences is not too difficult if we simply look at the veins on the leaves of each type.   Grasses typically have parallel veins running the length of the leaf, as in corn leaves and grass blades. Broadleaf plants have "net like" veins such as dandelions and poison ivy leaves.
Thin Grass   When grass is not thick enough, it cannot naturally inhibit weed growth.
