Lawn-Gevity | Certified Landscaping Services in Olathe, KS

In Olathe, we frequently see damage from grubs and chinch bugs. Grubs feed on grass roots, causing brown, spongy patches, while chinch bugs create drought-like symptoms. Our treatment starts with a precise diagnosis, as misidentifying the pest wastes time and money. We then apply targeted, seasonally-timed treatments that eliminate the current infestation and include preventative steps to protect your lawn through the Kansas growing season, all while prioritizing the safety of your family and pets.

Poor grading, which causes water to pool near your foundation or create soggy areas, is a common issue with Olathe's clay-heavy soils. We fix it through expert regrading. This involves carefully reshaping the soil's slope to direct water away from your home and into proper drainage areas. We use specialized equipment to ensure precise grading that not only solves the immediate water issue but also prepares the soil for healthy new grass, protecting your home's structure and your lawn's health long-term.

It depends on the severity, but we generally recommend tackling grading issues first. Here's why: poor drainage creates chronically wet soil, which is a breeding ground for certain pests and fosters disease that weakens your grass, making it more susceptible to insect damage. By correcting the grading and drainage first, we create a healthier, drier environment for your lawn. This foundational step often makes subsequent pest treatments more effective and can prevent future infestations, giving you a more durable and resilient lawn.
