leaf spot disease
red thread disease
He couldn't be for sure, but he thought there might be some other stuff going on there. He did suggest I take advantage of their lawn aeration service. He said he also noticed I had bent grass - polla annua growing in my lawn. I asked him why did he think it showed up right after his treatment, and did he think it had anything to do with it. He said there could be several factors as to why it happened at just that time, and all were circumstantial. In no way could any treatment they did have anything to do with it. OK. I thanked him and concluded the coversation.
I Googled the above lawn diseases, and reviewed the images. There are hundreds of images showing these diseases presenting in slightly different appearance. None of these were a close match to my lawn. I took pictures of my lawn, but at the moment I am not taking the time to locate them. I also looked up "polla anua". Apparently it is a strain of grass used in some golf courses. I am not sure why this came up in a discussion about my lawn problems.
I called the company back on 6/22/15 and cancelled my service. They asked why, and I told them that I cannot do business with a company I don't trust. I explained (see above), and the phone associate was about to offer another disease possibility, but I thanked her and ended the conversation.
About three to four weeks later the yellow went away in my front lawn. In my back yard, there were some spots that actually died off. There is a different (shady) seed that is in these areas. That are starting to come back. I have not had a lawn service all summer, save for Richter's, and have not applied any treatments myself. This is more due to procrastination, but it works out pretty nice for this narrative.
I can put up with a lot of things from suppliers, but lying is not one that I tolerate.
I have a "brown thumb" so I don't usually buy quality landscape plants as I figure somehow I will inadvertently kill said plant. With the tree/shrub care you cannot tell which plants I purchased at some well known quality nursery in top condition for top dollar and which ones I purchased on clearance at "roadside no warranty" place for $5.00!
The biggest improvement we saw was with the deep root feeding, it cost a bit more than the other services but it does so much. We had so much increased growth that we are afraid to do it each season as we might run out of room in our backyard!
Love this company, top shelf people!
