Some of the most common lawn problems include grub damage, brown patches, and thinning grass. Grubs are small, white insects that live in the soil and feed on the roots of the grass. Brown patches are usually caused by a lack of water or nutrients, and they can also be caused by pests or diseases. Thinning grass can be caused by several factors, including over-fertilization, improper mowing, and compacted soil.

The frequency of lawn insect control treatments depends on the severity of the infestation and other environmental factors. In general, it is best to treat insects every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Lawn insect control services may also be needed more frequently if you live in an area with a high insect population.

There are a few things you can do to find good weed control companies in Augusta. First, ask your friends and neighbors for recommendations. Then, check online review sites like Angie's List or HomeAdvisor. Finally, contact the Better Business Bureau to see if there are any complaints against the companies you're considering.

The best method for weed control will depend on the type of weeds you have, the size of your lawn, and your personal preferences. You can use herbicides, hand-weeding, or mulching. Herbicides will kill the weeds they come in contact with, but they can also harm your plants if you're not careful. Hand-weeding is a bit more time-consuming, but it's the safest method. If you have a large lawn, you may want to consider employing the services of weed control companies in Augusta, GA. These companies will use either herbicides or mulching to control the weed population on your property.

Don’t worry; the rain will only help the fertilizer soak into the soil.

No. When applied correctly, by professionals who follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and guidelines, lawn fertilizer will not harm your trees.

For weed control, it’s important to wait 24 hours before watering. This allows the leaves to fully absorb the chemical. After fertilizer has been applied, you may water immediately. You should avoid mowing for 2-3 days prior to service so that weeds may grow enough leaves to catch the weed control chemicals.

First, you must figure out why the plant is not doing well. Ask yourself the following questions: “Has it been over-watered or under-watered? Is it receiving enough light or too little light? Are there signs of disease or other pests?” before pulling out the fertilizer bag. Fertilizer doesn’t fix all problems and in some situations, it can make the problem worse.

Deciding what type of fertilizer to use can be a bit confusing. Look at the fertilizer label first. Fertilizer labels often tell you the type of plant it was formulated for – for example, if it is an orchid fertilizer this will often be prominent on the label. Lawn fertilizers generally contain high levels of nitrogen (first number) to promote vegetative or leafy growth. Lawn fertilizers are great for your grass, but lousy for annual flowers (too much nitrogen promotes excessive vegetative growth and inhibits flowering). General purpose fertilizers are often complete (contain nitrogen, phosphate, and potash) and are good for a wide range of plants in the garden, landscape, or containers. In the label directions, you will often get information on different application rates for different groups of plants. If you want to fertilize houseplants and an application rate is not recommended for houseplants on the label, you may want to consider another fertilizer.

We recommend a minimum of two fertilizer applications for cool season grasses, one in spring and one in fall, is adequate. Depending on the condition of your home lawn, you may need grub control. If you choose to fertilize only one time during the year, the fall is the most important fertilizer application for cool season grasses. Warm season grasses require regular fertilization during the periods of heaviest growth - which is during the summer months. Fertilizer application recommendations for warm season grasses will depend on the soil type (clay vs sandy soils, etc.) and how well nutrients are retained in the soil.

There are many factors to consider when choosing the right lawn fertilizer. First, you will need to determine the kind of grass on your lawn. Then, you need to consider the specific needs of your lawn, from weed control to insect and pest treatments. After that, you need to make sure that you choose a lawn fertilizer that is appropriate for the season, as grass has different needs depending on the time of year that you fertilize it. Sound complicated? It can be. If you want a simple solution, get in touch with the experts at Augusta Grass Masters to have a treatment plan built around the specific needs of your lawn.

Fertilizing your lawn encourages healthy grass growth and provides that lush green color that everyone is after. It also helps the roots of your grass grow strong and resilient so they can fight off diseases, withstand high temperatures, and handle heavy foot-traffic. So if you’re a fan of tossing the pigskin, playing fetch with your dog, or hosting large gatherings, lawn fertilizer doesn’t only give you green grass to play on, it also fortifies your grass so that it can withstand all of the action you throw at it.

Let’s start with the basics. To put it simply, your lawn is like the human body. You can give it all the water that it needs, but that alone is not enough to survive — and it certainly isn’t enough to have the body of an Olympian. Like your body, your lawn needs a healthy intake of food, and lawn fertilizer is packed with all of the nutrients that grass needs to survive, grow, and thrive.

Core aeration is the process of removing plugs from the lawn, which create small holes. These holes allow air, water, fertilizer and soil amendments to get down to root level. This practice is utilized to reduce compaction in high traffic areas as well.

It might seem too simple, but mow it whenever it looks like it’s getting too long. The specific length of time will vary based on your grass type, your area’s weather patterns, and how high you cut it. That may be multiple times per week, once a week, or every other week. Keep an eye on it and use your best judgment.

The best thing you do not need to be home for our fertilization program. Our trained technicians will care for your lawn and leave you with an invoice. Be sure to check the back of your invoice after each visit for any notes the technician may have left regarding the care of your lawn. We do ask that gates are unlocked and pets are in the house. If you need to be contacted a day before your appointment, please notify our office.

Mushrooms on your lawn is a sign that your lawn is healthy, which is a good thing. We do not do treatments for mushrooms. You can pull them and discard them or mow the lawn as you normally would.

With a few DIY techniques • Keep your garden clean. Pick up plant debris, remove dying stems or branches, weed the area regularly, and toss the debris in the garbage. • Fertilize just enough to keep your plants happy – too much fertilizer promotes weak growth which is susceptible to disease. • Wait to plant until the soil is warmed up. Planting too early will put extra stress on your plants and make them more susceptible to disease in the soil. • Use mulch to keep weeds at bay and harmful fungi in the soil away. • Inspect and remove infected stems and leaves. As soon as you notice signs of disease, carefully remove the leaf or stems and throw it away as soon as possible. By removing disease early on, • you can help your plants to continue to grow healthily.

The best time for aeration service in Augusta, GA and the surrounding areas is in the spring and fall. It’s best to do it when the soil is still somewhat damp so that the soil is more easily removed and loosens up. Ideally, we would provide aeration services twice a year, however even doing it once a year can make a huge impact on your lawn’s overall health. Aeration service is also beneficial prior to any lawn fertilization, since it preps the soil for better nutrient absorption. The same goes for before seeding your lawn. Breaking up the soil will allow the seeds to penetrate the soil and take root.

When working with weeds, patience is necessary. Even with the most effective treatment, it may take a few weeks to see results. The amount of time it takes for the weed killer to work depends on the type of weeds you have, the size of your lawn, and other factors. Our professionals can help you determine how long it should take for the weed killer to work and what you can do to speed up the process.

You should stay off the lawn for at least 24–48 hours after a treatment. This will give the fertilizer or herbicide time to work and will prevent you from damaging the grass. Our professionals can provide you with specific instructions and make sure you understand when it is safe to return to your lawn.

No, you should not mow your lawn the same day it is treated. It is important to give the fertilizer or herbicide time to work before you mow so that you do not damage the grass or reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. You should wait to mow for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment.

There could be several reasons why your neighbour’s yard is greener than yours. One possibility is that they are using a different type of grass seed that is more resistant to disease and pests. Another possibility is that they are fertilizing their lawn more often than you are. We can help you determine the best course of action to get your lawn looking its best.

Crabgrass is a common problem in many lawns. The best way to get rid of crabgrass is by keeping your lawn healthy and well-maintained. If crabgrass does start to grow, you can remove it by using a herbicide specifically for crabgrass. We can inspect your lawn and let you know if this is the best solution for your particular situation.

There are several reasons why your lawn may have brown spots. One possibility is that the grass in those areas is not getting enough sunlight. Another possibility is that the soil in those areas is too dry or too compacted, preventing the grass from getting the nutrients it needs. We can inspect your lawn and help you determine the cause of the brown spots so that you can take steps to fix the problem.

The best time to seed your lawn is in the early spring when the weather is cooler and the grass has a chance to establish itself before the heat of summer arrives. This will help ensure that your grass stays green and lush all season long. Fertilizing your lawn is also important to keep it looking its best.

This is quack grass, or other perennial field-type grass. Unlike crabgrass, which is an annual grass, these unwanted grasses can only be killed with a “Round-up” type product (which kills all grass and plants). If you choose to kill this grass, spray Round-Up at targeted grass plus an additional foot beyond, be sure targeted grass has died (takes up to 5-10 days), then tear it up, add topsoil and reseed with a good mix of grass seed.

The best thing you can do to fight disease on your lawn is to mow properly and keep your lawn watered. If you have lawn problems, please feel free to call us for a diagnosis. DON’T wait until the damage is bad to call us!!

Proper mowing practices are essential to your lawn’s health and maintenance. Mowing too short damages grass root systems, thins the lawn, decreases drought and disease resistance, and increases your weed population. Please set your mowing height to at least 3 inches for the spring, and try not to cut off more than 1/3 of the grass blade per mowing (cut when your grass is 4-5 inches high). Keep your cutting blade sharp, and do not collect your clippings (unless you have grass clumps), as they return nutrients to the soil as they decompose.

Chemical fertilizers are a “quick fix” solution. They provide the nutrients grass needs, but at the expense of our water, soil and the living environment within the soil. Organic fertilizers are made from natural ingredients and break down slowly to produce a long lasting feeding for your lawn. Organic fertilizers are an all around better choice.

Landscape maintenance includes mowing of lawn, edging areas bordered by sidewalks, curbs and driveways; removing clippings and organic material caused by mowing and edging from sidewalk, curbs, driveways and other surfaced areas; pruning bushes, shrubs and ornamental trees; trimming perennials, grasses and groundcovers; leaf removal and planting bed maintenance. Most homeowners are too busy to provide the constant care usually necessary to maintain an attractive turf. An effective maintenance program involves fertilization, watering, mowing, and cultivation. A lawn's appearance, after it has been established, depends on a sound maintenance program. For more information go to our Services page or CALL US at (706) 955-8563.

Mowing and raking are always recommended before lawn fertilization. If you want to go all-the-way, aerate your lawn before fertilizing. Mowing and raking help get excess debris out of the way so that fertilizer can easily reach the soil. Aerating your lawn creates a direct channel to the soil and roots of your grass, maximizing the effect of your fertilizer.

Grubs and insects are usually in our lawns every year. Weather conditions and population of the pests are what determines the amount of damage. Grub and lawn insect control is not needed every year, but during the years that these pests are present you may wish you had used them. We view grub and insect control as insurance on your lawn. Just like any other insurance, you hope you don’t need to use it. But, it’s there if you do.

Weeds compete with grass for space, water, nutrients, and light. They can be very aggressive and take over a lawn quickly if not kept in check. Proper mowing, watering, and fertilization help control weeds more than anything; a thick lawn has a better chance to choke out weeds. Unfortunately, there are no preventative broadleaf weed products on the market, so we have to stay on them as they come up throughout the season (spring and fall).

Weeds are in the soil and are transported by wind and animals. Hot weather and heavy rain affect how many weeds will appear on a property. Once the weeds emerge from the soil, they can be sprayed. Some weeds are persistent and need to be sprayed several times.
