FAQ's

How do I prepare my lawn for winter?

To prepare your lawn for winter, it's advisable to perform tasks such as aerating, overseeding, and fertilizing in the fall. This helps improve root development and prepares the grass for the cold winter months. Additionally, raking leaves and removing debris from the lawn helps prevent disease and pest issues.

What should I do if I have bare spots or thinning areas in my lawn?

If you have bare spots or thinning areas in your lawn, overseeding is recommended. Overseeding involves spreading grass seeds over the existing lawn to promote new grass growth and fill in the bare areas. Proper watering and maintenance after overseeding are crucial for successful establishment.

How long should I wait before mowing my lawn after a weed control treatment?

The waiting period before mowing your lawn after a weed control treatment can vary depending on the product used. In general, it's advisable to wait at least 24-48 hours before mowing to allow the weed control product to be fully absorbed by the weeds and take effect. However, it's best to refer to the specific instructions provided by the product manufacturer for accurate guidance.

How can I prevent weeds from growing in my lawn?

Weed prevention starts with proper lawn care practices. Maintaining a healthy and thick lawn through regular mowing, adequate watering, and proper fertilization helps crowd out weeds and minimize their growth. Additionally, applying pre-emergent herbicides before weed seeds germinate can provide an extra layer of protection against weed growth.

Yes, Smiling Lawn has experienced professionals who can diagnose and treat common lawn diseases. Whether it's identifying fungal diseases, addressing nutrient deficiencies, or providing appropriate treatments, our experts can help restore the health and vitality of your lawn.

How often should I have my soil tested?

Soil testing is beneficial to assess the nutrient levels and pH balance of your soil. It is recommended to have your soil tested every 2-3 years to ensure proper nutrient management and adjust fertilizer applications accordingly. However, if you encounter specific issues with your lawn, such as poor growth or persistent problems, it's advisable to conduct a soil test to identify any underlying soil-related issues.
