Common Lawn Problems in Central Arkansas

Not sure what’s wrong with your lawn? Here are the problems we see most often around Sherwood, Cabot and Lonoke, what causes them, and how we fix them.

Crabgrass and summer weeds

Crabgrass sprouts once soil warms in spring. A pre-emergent barrier applied at the right time stops most of it before it starts. Fertilization & weed control

Poa annua and winter weeds

Those light-green clumps in a dormant Bermuda lawn are usually Poa annua or other winter weeds. A fall pre-emergent round prevents them. Fertilization & weed control

Nutsedge

Shiny, fast-growing grass-like weeds in wet spots are often nutsedge. It needs its own post-emergent product. Fertilization & weed control

Brown circles and dead patches

Circles of brown grass in spring or fall are often large patch or brown patch, a fungus. Lawn disease & fungus control

Grass that peels up or turns brown fast

Turf that lifts like carpet points to grubs. Grass stripped brown in a few days in late summer is often armyworms. Grub & lawn insect control

Hard, compacted soil

Water running off instead of soaking in, and thin grass in high-traffic areas, mean compacted clay. Core aeration

Mosquitoes, fleas and ticks

If you can’t enjoy your yard in summer, treating shaded areas and bed lines makes a big difference. Mosquito, flea & tick control
