Mikes Lawncare & Handyman Service - Decatur's Experienced Landscaping Services

Absolutely. Standing water is a common issue here and can lead to bigger problems like mosquito breeding and lawn disease. Our lawn care approach includes evaluating your yard's drainage and soil composition. We can perform core aeration to improve water absorption and recommend solutions, which our handyman team can often implement, to gently regrade problem areas and direct water away from your home and lawn.

Yes, several types of lawn fungus thrive in our humid Illinois summers, especially where moisture lingers. We first identify the specific fungus causing the brown patches or rings. Then, we apply targeted, professional-grade fungicides and adjust your mowing and watering schedule as part of our care plan to eliminate the current outbreak and help prevent it from returning.

Consistent, knowledgeable care is the best defense. Our local expertise means we time treatments for Decatur's specific seasons—like applying pre-emergent fungicides before peak humidity. Regular mowing at the correct height, proper fertilization to strengthen grass roots, and seasonal aeration all work together to create a dense, healthy lawn that naturally resists disease and manages water more effectively, saving you from costly repairs down the line.
