Professional Landscapers in Cross Plains, WI 53528 - Niesen & Son Landscaping

In our area, dead patches are often caused by a combination of compacted soil, improper watering, and fungal activity. We start with a thorough inspection to identify the root cause. Our typical solution involves core aeration to relieve soil compaction, followed by overseeding with hardy grass varieties suited for our climate and a tailored fertilization plan to encourage strong, healthy regrowth.

Common signs of lawn fungus in Cross Plains include irregular brown or yellow patches, rings of dead grass, or a slimy, grayish coating on grass blades (often seen as 'dollar spot' or 'brown patch'). We recommend a professional diagnosis, as misidentifying the fungus can lead to ineffective treatment. Our service includes applying targeted, professional-grade fungicides at the correct time in the disease cycle and advising on proper watering and mowing practices to prevent recurrence.

The key is proactive, seasonal care. In early spring, focus on aeration and pre-emergent treatments. During our humid summers, water deeply in the morning to allow grass to dry, which helps prevent fungus, and avoid cutting the grass too short. In fall, core aeration and overseeding are crucial for repairing summer damage and building a thick turf that can outcompete weeds and resist disease. We're always happy to provide a free, site-specific assessment to create a plan for your yard.
