Water is not the only essential element to keeping a thriving lawn, although it’s undoubtedly one of the most significant ones. Few homeowners ever stop to think about weeds competing for the precious natural resources found in their yard. If your lawn is overgrown with weeds, your grass may not be getting enough nutrients from the soil. Sometimes your lawn may turn brown because of lawn diseases and certain fungi. You could also have a pest infestation of cinch bugs or grubs draining your lawn of moisture and nutrients. Finally, if you have a pet that relieves itself in your yard, the acid in your pet’s urine could be killing your grass one yellowed patch at a time. Investing in a sprinkler system could help you maintain your lawn, but it may not be the only thing recommended by our landscaping experts.
