Questions and Answers
Why do bare patches keep appearing in my Chicago lawn, and how can Shades Of Green fix them?
Great question. In Chicago, bare patches often return due to underlying issues we specifically target. Our process includes core aeration to relieve soil compaction common in our clay-heavy soils, followed by overseeding with hardy, region-appropriate grass blends. We also provide guidance on proper watering schedules to combat our variable weather. It's a corrective treatment, not just a cosmetic fix, designed for long-term lawn health.
Weeds keep sprouting in my mulch beds every year. How does your lawn care service provide a longer-lasting solution?
We tackle mulch bed weeds at the source. First, we remove all existing weeds and their roots. Then, we apply a professional-grade pre-emergent barrier *before* refreshing your mulch. This creates an invisible shield that prevents new weed seeds—common in Chicago's wind—from taking root. Combined with the proper mulch depth we maintain, it gives you a clean, low-maintenance bed for the entire season.
As a Chicago homeowner, when is the best time to address lawn patches and bed weeds for the most effective results?
Timing is crucial here. For repairing bare patches, early fall is ideal, as cooler temperatures and autumn rains promote strong root growth before winter. For weed control in mulch beds, early spring—just as the ground thaws—is key to applying pre-emergent before seeds germinate. We can assess your property and create a seasonal schedule so you're always one step ahead of these common local issues.
