Why did my grass suddenly turn yellow?

• <div><p>A lawn that suddenly and quickly turns yellow is typically the result of a dramatic change in the grass's environment. Heavy rainfall can dilute soil nutrients, rapidly yellowing the grass, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-sharpening-lawn-mower-blades.htm">dull lawn mower blades</a> can dry out and damage the grass in a short time. Over-fertilizing can yellow a lawn within a matter of days. </p></div>

Is dethatching more important than aerating?

• <div><p>No. Both processes are important for a healthy yard and work toward a similar goal, although dethatching serves a slightly different purpose. Making sure the thatch doesn’t grow too thick prevents other lawn problems, such as attracting pests if the plant decay layer gets too big. Aeration puts less strain on your lawn than dethatching, but both are of equal importance.</p></div>

What causes lawn depressions?

• <div><p>Many factors can cause your yard to have lawn depressions. Here are the most common reasons: </p><ul><li><p>Heavy rainfall </p></li><li><p>Wild animals such as moles, voles, and groundhogs that burrow and tunnel</p></li><li><p>Poor drainage</p></li><li><p>Buried items such as pipes that break down</p></li><li><p>Decaying tree roots or stumps</p></li><li><p>Soil that has compacted</p></li><li><p>Improper mowing techniques</p></li><li><p>Driving heavy equipment and vehicles through the yard</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Waited weeks to get paid even when we repeatedly called the owner to let him know we wanted to pay him. They did some damage to our house and then the owner completely ignored us and would not return our repeated messages and calls.

I was given a prompt estimate and the crew returned in a few days to complete the job. Everyone was very professional and I would reccommend Lawntechniques to anyone looking for yard service. I have also scheduled my home to power washed next week. Reasonable prices for all services.
