Charlie's landscaping: Expert Landscaping Services Serving Kirkwood, MO 63122

Common signs in our area include soggy patches, a sudden spike in your water bill, or reduced water pressure in the sprinkler heads. The first step is to turn off the system and check your water meter; if it's still running, you likely have a leak. For Kirkwood homeowners, we recommend calling us for a professional inspection. We'll pinpoint the leak—often at a valve, connection, or cracked pipe—and make a precise repair to save water and protect your lawn's health.

Kirkwood's humid summers often lead to brown patch and dollar spot fungus, appearing as circular discolored areas or straw-colored patches. Effective treatment starts with proper diagnosis. We'll assess your lawn, apply a targeted fungicide if needed, and provide crucial cultural advice like adjusting your mowing height and improving morning watering schedules to reduce moisture. Our goal is to eliminate the disease and help you establish practices that prevent its return.

Absolutely. In fact, it's one of the most effective preventative steps. Overwatering from a leak creates constantly damp conditions that are ideal for fungus spores to thrive. By repairing leaks and ensuring your system runs efficiently, we eliminate excess moisture. This, combined with proper irrigation timing (watering in the early morning), is a fundamental part of our integrated approach to keeping your Kirkwood lawn healthy and disease-resistant.
