Foothills Yards & More: Qualified Landscaping Serving Wilkesboro, NC 28697

In our area, bare patches are often caused by a combination of heavy clay soil compaction, thinning grass from summer stress, and sometimes underlying fungus. We start with core aeration to relieve compaction and improve nutrient uptake. Then, we overseed with high-quality, disease-resistant grass blends suited for our climate. A tailored fertilization plan and proper watering guidance ensure the new grass establishes strongly to fill in those unsightly patches for good.

First, we'll perform a precise diagnosis to identify the specific fungus, as treatments vary. Common types here include Brown Patch and Dollar Spot. Our treatment involves applying targeted, professional-grade fungicides at the correct time in the disease cycle. Crucially, we also address the conditions that encouraged the fungus, such as improving soil drainage, adjusting your mowing height, and recommending a watering schedule that keeps the grass healthy but not overly damp overnight.

Absolutely. Prevention is key. We offer annual lawn care programs that include seasonal aeration, balanced fertilization, and pre-emergent fungicide applications timed before common diseases appear. We'll also provide you with a simple, seasonal checklist for mowing, watering, and monitoring. This proactive, year-round approach builds a thicker, more resilient lawn that naturally resists diseases and weeds, saving you time and money on repairs.
