Question Answers

What should I do about moss taking over my lawn in Watkinsville?

Moss in your Watkinsville lawn often indicates issues like soil compaction, poor drainage, or low soil pH. At Outdoor Specialty, we start by assessing your specific site conditions. Our approach typically involves core aeration to relieve compaction, improving drainage through grading if needed, and applying soil amendments to correct pH. We then recommend a tailored lawn care plan, which may include overseeing with a shade-tolerant grass blend suitable for our local climate, to help your grass outcompete the moss naturally.

Do you handle both the design and installation of irrigation systems?

Yes, we provide a complete irrigation service from start to finish. Our team handles the entire process, beginning with a custom design that maps out your property's specific zones, water pressure, and plant needs to ensure efficient coverage. We then proceed with professional construction and installation, using durable, reliable components. Finally, we offer ongoing maintenance and repair services to keep your system running smoothly and conserve water, which is especially important during our Georgia summers.

Can you help with shrub diseases or insect problems that are common here?

Absolutely. Our shrub care services include detailed diagnosis and management of local diseases and insect issues. We first identify the specific problem affecting your plants—common local pests include lace bugs on azaleas and scale insects on camellias. We then recommend a targeted treatment plan, which may involve horticultural oils, insecticidal soaps, or other environmentally responsible solutions. Our goal is to restore plant health while preserving the safety of your garden ecosystem, and we can also advise on preventative care to avoid future outbreaks.
