Is Your Lawn Trying to Tell You Something?

Brown spots. Thin patches. Weeds taking over. These are signs that your lawn needs help. But what's causing the problem? That's what a lawn health assessment tells you.

We look at your whole yard to find out why your grass isn't doing well. It could be bugs, disease, bad soil, or not enough water. Once we know the problem, we can fix it the right way.

Many homeowners spend money on lawn products that don't work. That's because they're treating the wrong problem. A lawn health check helps you spend your money on what actually helps.

What We Check

  • Grass Type: We figure out what kind of grass you have and if it's right for your yard
  • Soil Condition: We look at your soil to see if it's too hard, too sandy, or lacking nutrients
  • Thatch Buildup: We check for dead grass buildup that can choke your lawn
  • Pest Problems: We look for grubs, chinch bugs, and other insects that eat grass
  • Disease Signs: We spot fungus and other diseases that can spread
  • Weed Types: We identify which weeds are in your lawn and why they're there
  • Water Issues: We check for dry spots or areas that stay too wet
  • Sun and Shade: We see if your grass is getting the right amount of light

Common Lawn Problems in Marshfield

Lawns near the coast face special challenges. Salt spray from the ocean can burn grass. Sandy soil doesn't hold water or nutrients well. We see these issues all the time in Marshfield and know how to deal with them.

The UMass Turf Program has done a lot of research on grass that grows well in our area. We use this knowledge to help you pick the right grass and care methods for your yard.

You Get a Written Report

After we look at your lawn, we give you a report that explains what we found. It's written in plain language, not technical terms. You'll understand exactly what's happening and what to do about it.

The report includes our suggestions for fixing any problems. We'll tell you which steps are most important and which can wait. You can do the work yourself or have us do it for you.

When to Get an Assessment

The best time to check your lawn is in spring or early fall. But if you see a problem, don't wait. Lawn issues can spread fast. The sooner you catch them, the easier they are to fix.

We also suggest an assessment if you just moved into a new home. The previous owners might not have taken care of the lawn. It's good to know what you're working with.
