Lawn Care FAQs

Large patch disease, which affects centipedes, zoysia and St Augustine  lawns, occurs when there is a lot of humidity and cool nights. 

Large patch disease can be controlled by fungicide treatments applied to stop the disease from spreading. After the disease has been eliminated, it will take some time for the lawn to recover and fill back in.

Dollar spot disease is named for the silver dollar-sized spots that occur in Bermuda and zoysia lawns in early summer. Fungicides could be applied to control this problem, but sometimes a good application of fertilizer is just as effective.

Lawn begins turning brown when its roots are no longer absorbing the necessary nutrients from the soil. This can be caused by various reasons such as drought, flooding, too much watering, extreme heat, extreme cold, or poor soil quality.

There are several warning signs that indicate your lawn is affected by fungus, some of which are more obvious than others. Discoloration is the most obvious sign in most cases, with grass turning yellow, tan, or brown in spots. Keep in mind, however, that this isn't always due to fungus. Dead or dying areas can also be caused by higher-than-normal temperatures, insufficient watering, or insects, emphasizing the importance of proper identification.

While specific fungi and lawn diseases have unique signs, some of the most common types of disease and fungus include Dollar spot, Brown patch lawn disease, Leaf spot, Mildew, and Bligh.

The most basic way is to reach down and pull the weeds up with your hands, but sometimes this just isn’t practical when your lawn is covered in weeds. The second way is to spot spray a non-selective herbicide such as Round-up. This can create brown spots in the lawn and kill some of the good grass if you are not extremely accurate with your spraying.  The third way is to spray your weeds non-selectively. This will require you to either spray from a backpack sprayer, tank sprayer, or a hose end sprayer.

If you want to control weeds, then you need treatments during germination and growth stages, which means having Liquid Lawn stop by at least three seasons of the year. With just a few stop-ins throughout the year, we can keep your lawn thick and lush and your weeds at bay!

Mole cricket that can do significant damage to the lawn. Mole crickets tunnel through the top 1-2 inches of soil, loosening it and uprooting grass plants that then dry out and die. The damage is most severe in young, newly planted lawns.

Mole crickets and their nymphs can be identified and flushed out of the soil with soapy water. Add around 2 tablespoons of dish soap to a gallon of water. In the early morning or late evening, pour it over a 1-2 sq ft area. If you have mole crickets, they will come to the surface of the soil in a few minutes. If you see 2 or more mole crickets come to the surface, it’s time to treat your lawn by calling a professional lawn care service.

Three major visible signs of a mole cricket damage are:

• Small, brown soil mounds
• Patches of brown, dying grass dappling your lawn
• Your lawn may feel spongy when you walk on it due to the detachment of turf from the soil.

If you are constantly finding mole crickets inside your lawn, contact Liquid Lawn today.
