Questions About Our Lawn Care Service?
At Mid-South Turf Professionals, we understand that maintaining a vibrant, healthy lawn can raise many questions. To assist you, we've compiled a list of frequently asked questions addressing common concerns and providing expert insights into effective lawn care practices. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge needed to achieve and maintain a beautiful lawn year-round.
Watering your lawn early in the morning, between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m., is ideal to minimize evaporation and allow grass to dry before evening, reducing disease risk. Lawns typically require about 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week, delivered in deep, infrequent sessions to encourage deep root growth.
A robust, healthy lawn is the best defense against weeds. Regular mowing, proper fertilization, and adequate watering create an environment where grass thrives, making it difficult for weeds to establish. Additionally, applying pre-emergent herbicides in early spring can prevent weed seeds from germinating.
Brown spots can result from various factors, including drought stress, fungal diseases, insect infestations, or pet urine. Identifying the underlying cause is crucial for effective treatment. Our lawn care professionals can assess your lawn to determine the cause and recommend appropriate remedies, such as adjusting watering practices, applying fungicides, or repairing damaged areas.
Signs of grub infestation include irregular brown patches, spongy turf that lifts easily, and increased animal activity as they dig for grubs. If you suspect a grub problem, our team can perform an inspection and, if necessary, apply targeted treatments to eliminate grubs and prevent further damage.

Lawns in shaded areas require special attention, as limited sunlight can affect grass growth. We select shade-tolerant grass varieties and adjust our maintenance practices, such as mowing height and watering schedules, to promote healthy growth in low-light conditions. In some cases, incorporating shade-loving ground covers or moss can be an effective alternative.
The frequency of our visits depends on your lawn's specific needs and the services you choose. Typically, we provide maintenance on a weekly or bi-weekly basis during the growing season to ensure optimal lawn health and appearance.
Yes, the safety of your family and pets is our top priority. We use products that are thoroughly tested and approved for residential use. After application, we recommend keeping children and pets off the treated areas until the product has dried, which usually takes about 2 hours. This precaution ensures the treatments are fully absorbed and reduces any potential risk.
Signs that your lawn may need renovation include extensive bare patches, persistent weed infestations, and poor grass health despite regular care. Our professionals can assess your lawn's condition and determine whether restoration is feasible or if a complete overhaul is the best solution.
The timeline for noticeable improvements varies based on the initial state of your lawn and the specific treatments applied.
