Maple seedlings

People often worry about seedlings from maples and other trees growing in the lawn. And right now they are popping up like acne on a teenager. Basically. These seedlings won't last in the lawn. Since they are trying to become trees, they need to grow up and tall. Once you start mowing them regularly, they will disappear. One reason dandelions persist in our lawns is because they don't mind the mowing.

Chinch bug damage -eight months later

This lawn was damaged by chinch bugs last summer. Now the lawn has died on over 80% of its area.

We recommend that the lawn be aerated and overseeded. This will allow the lawn to fill back in about six weeks.
