Experienced Landscaping in Columbia, MO 65201 - Tony Gee's Lawncare Service

In Columbia, brown patches are often caused by lawn insects like grubs feeding on roots or by soil compaction in high-traffic areas. Tony Gee's Lawncare Service first diagnoses the exact cause. If it's insects, we apply targeted, effective treatments. For bare soil, we use core aeration to relieve compaction and overseed with hardy grass varieties suited to our local climate to fill in the patch and prevent future issues.

Absolutely. A consistently healthy lawn is your best defense. Our regular lawn care program in Columbia includes proper fertilization and mowing practices that strengthen your grass, making it less attractive and more resistant to pests. We also monitor for early signs of insect activity, allowing for proactive treatment before significant damage like brown patches occurs, saving you time and money in the long run.

We repair bare patches by loosening the soil, adding a starter fertilizer, and overseeding with quality seed. For best results in the Columbia area, we recommend this service in early fall. This timing allows the new grass to establish strong roots in the cooler, moist weather before winter, giving you a thick, filled-in lawn by the following spring that can better compete with weeds and withstand summer stress.
