Landscapers Chilhowie VA | Call Sextons Lawncare

In our area, bare patches are often caused by a combination of factors like soil compaction, heavy foot traffic, and specific lawn pests. Our lawn care service includes a thorough assessment to diagnose the root cause. We then implement targeted solutions, which may include core aeration to relieve compaction, overseeding with hardy grass varieties suited for our climate, and applying soil amendments to create the ideal conditions for thick, healthy regrowth.

We offer integrated pest management as part of our comprehensive lawn care program. First, we identify the specific insect—common culprits here include grubs or chinch bugs. Then, we apply targeted, effective treatments at the optimal time to eliminate the current infestation. More importantly, we focus on building a healthier lawn through proper fertilization and cultural practices, which is your best long-term defense against future pest problems and damage.

For best results in our region, we recommend a seasonal program. This typically includes a spring wake-up service to address winter damage and encourage growth, regular summer treatments to maintain health and manage weeds/pests, and a vital fall service to strengthen roots before winter. This consistent, expert care is the most effective way to prevent issues like bare patches and insect damage, ensuring your lawn stays resilient and green throughout the year.
