EMPIRE Lawn Care and Enterprises - Cleveland's Certified Landscaping Services

In our area, dead patches are often caused by compacted soil, pet urine, or fungal activity. Our team at EMPIRE starts with a thorough inspection to identify the exact cause. For compaction, we use core aeration to relieve soil pressure and allow nutrients to reach the roots. We then oversee the process of reseeding with hardy grass varieties suited to our local climate and provide expert guidance on proper watering to ensure a full, even recovery.

Ohio's humid summers create perfect conditions for fungi like brown patch and dollar spot. Our treatment begins with a precise diagnosis of the fungus type. We then apply targeted, professional-grade fungicides to halt the spread and recommend adjustments to your mowing height and watering schedule—often early morning is best to allow grass to dry. For prevention, our regular maintenance program includes balanced fertilization to strengthen your lawn's natural defenses against future outbreaks.

The best first step is to get a professional assessment. Many lawn issues look similar but have different causes. Contact EMPIRE for a free, on-site evaluation. We'll examine your grass, soil, and the specific conditions of your yard to determine if the problem is disease, pests, or an environmental factor. This local, expert diagnosis allows us to create a customized and effective treatment plan, saving you time, money, and frustration.
