Ardon Landscape Group - Gainesville's Experienced Landscaping Services

In our area, we frequently see damage from chinch bugs, grubs, and armyworms, which can cause brown patches and thinning turf. Our approach starts with a precise identification of the pest. We then use targeted, responsible treatments to eliminate the current infestation and can recommend preventative cultural practices, like proper mowing and watering, to help keep them from returning.

Signs include water pooling on the surface instead of soaking in, thin grass, and difficulty pushing a screwdriver into the ground. Soil compaction is common here due to heavy clay and foot traffic. The most effective solution we provide is core aeration. This process removes small plugs of soil, allowing essential air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone, which revitalizes your lawn from the ground up.

Absolutely. These issues often go hand-in-hand here in Gainesville. We start with a comprehensive property assessment. Our strategy typically addresses the soil first—through aeration and soil amendments—to strengthen the grass's natural defenses. We then implement a targeted pest management plan. This combined, holistic approach is key to creating a durable lawn that can better withstand local stresses.
