Dead spots are often caused by compacted soil, pests, or disease. The best approach is to first diagnose the cause. We can aerate to relieve compaction, apply targeted treatments, and then overseed with grass varieties suited for our local climate. Proper watering after repair is key to preventing the issue from returning.

To prevent weeds, start with a proper bed preparation. We remove existing weeds, apply a pre-emergent herbicide barrier, and then install a fresh, thick layer of mulch (at least 3 inches). This blocks sunlight from reaching weed seeds. Using a quality landscape fabric under mulch in high-traffic areas can provide extra protection for Pikeville homes.

Timing is crucial for effective lawn care here. Early spring is ideal for pre-emergent weed control and fertilization to encourage strong growth. Late spring through summer is perfect for addressing active weed problems and repairing damage. Fall is the best time for core aeration, overseeding, and applying fertilizer to strengthen roots for the winter ahead.
