Common Questions
My sprinklers are running, but I still have dry, brown spots in my lawn. What's the most common cause in Champaign?
This is a frequent issue here, often caused by uneven ground settling or improper sprinkler head alignment. Over time, low spots can pool water while high spots remain dry. At Herges and Son's, we start with a comprehensive sprinkler audit to check coverage and pressure, then perform lawn leveling to correct the terrain and adjust or replace heads for complete, even coverage across your entire yard.
What's the best way to repair bare patches in my Champaign lawn, and when should I do it?
For lasting repair, we recommend aeration and overseeding with cool-season grass blends suited for our Illinois climate. Simply patching with sod often fails if the underlying soil is compacted. The ideal times are early fall or spring, allowing seeds to establish in cooler, moist conditions. Our service includes core aeration to relieve compaction, premium seeding, and a tailored fertilization plan to ensure thick, healthy regrowth.
Can you help prevent these lawn problems from coming back every year?
Absolutely. Our goal is to build a resilient landscape. Beyond the initial repair, we focus on improving soil health and drainage—key factors in Champaign. We may recommend annual aeration, adjust your irrigation schedule seasonally, and use specific grass types that handle our weather extremes better. A custom maintenance plan from Herges and Son's provides ongoing care to keep your lawn thick and green, season after season.
