Questions and Answers
What's the best way to get rid of moss in my Big Flats lawn?
Moss in our area often thrives due to acidic soil, poor drainage, or shade. Simply raking it away is temporary. Earthguard's approach starts with a soil test to identify the root cause, followed by targeted moss treatment, core aeration to improve drainage, and proper seeding or sodding to establish healthy grass that naturally resists moss.
Why does my irrigation timer keep failing, and can you fix it?
Frequent timer failures in Big Flats are often caused by power surges, moisture intrusion in the box, or outdated models. Our technicians can diagnose the specific issue, repair or replace faulty components, and install surge protectors. We also recommend and install modern, weather-resistant timers that are more reliable for our local climate.
Can you help prevent moss by improving my lawn's irrigation?
Absolutely. Over or under-watering from a faulty system can create the damp, weak turf conditions moss loves. Earthguard provides a complete irrigation system health check. We'll repair timers and leaks, adjust sprinkler heads for even coverage, and set optimal watering schedules. This creates a stronger, drier lawn surface that's naturally less hospitable to moss.
