Landscaping Newcomerstown OH | Call Stixs & Stones Landscaping

Look for irregular brown or yellow patches, thinning grass, or a spongy feel underfoot, which are common signs of fungus. For insects, you might see increased bird activity pecking at the lawn, wilted grass blades that don't recover from watering, or you can actually find grubs in the soil. We offer free evaluations to correctly identify the issue, as proper diagnosis is key to an effective treatment plan.

Treatments are very different. For fungus, we focus on improving drainage, adjusting mowing heights, and applying targeted fungicides at the right time. For insects like grubs, we use precise insecticide applications. A common mistake is treating a fungal issue with an insecticide, which won't help. Our approach starts with an accurate diagnosis of your Newcomerstown lawn's specific condition to apply the correct remedy.

Yes, most lawns can fully recover with proper care. Recovery time depends on the damage severity and the season. For moderate insect or fungus damage, you'll often see improvement in 2-3 weeks, with full recovery over the next growing season. We combine treatment with core aeration, overseeding with hardy grass varieties suited for Ohio, and a tailored fertilization schedule to not only fix the problem but also build a thicker, more resilient lawn.
