While maintaining a lush and green lawn might seem easy, it’s not. Some homeowners spend much time and effort on their yards only to be left with patchy grass, discoloured, or thinning. Even the most devoted DIYer may have difficulty with persistent issues in their lawns without the correct knowledge, treatment plans, or tools. This is where turf professionals come into play. They are there to treat the symptoms, diagnose root problems, and implement long-lasting solutions.
Mission Service Co.’s professional care offers homeowners more than a perfectly maintained lawn. They get peace of mind, knowing their turf is in good hands. Explore some of your most common lawn concerns and learn how to solve them.

Thin Or Patchy Grass
Uneven patches in your grass or thinning areas are often caused by poor soil conditions, compacted soil, inadequate irrigation, or pests. Turf professionals assess the soil to determine whether there are nutrient deficiencies or compaction. Aeration is a common way to loosen up compacted ground, allowing air, water, nutrients, and oxygen to reach the roots. After aeration, experts often recommend overseeding with the correct grass variety for local soil conditions and climate.
How turf experts fix it:
- Soil testing & pH Adjustment
- Core aeration reduces compaction
- Overseeding a region-specific grass
- Custom fertilizer blends to promote regrowth
-
Weed Invasion
Weeds vie with grass for nutrients such as sunlight and water. Common weeds, such as crabgrass, dandelions, or clover, can quickly take over a poorly managed yard. While store-bought weed killers might offer temporary relief, they harm the surrounding grass and do not treat the underlying issues.
Professional maintenance from Mission Service Co. includes regular monitoring throughout the growth season and using a pre-emergent pesticide to stop weeds from germinating. Our experts can also improve your lawn’s health, naturally choking off future weeds.
How turf experts fix it:
- Pre-emergent, post-emergent, and other herbicides
- Thicken your lawn to eliminate weeds
- Scheduled treatments are the best option for long-term treatment.

Yellow Or Brown Patches
Your lawn may have discoloured spots for several reasons: pet urine, fungi, excessive watering, or nutrient deficiency. You can’t just guess at the exact reason. Turf specialists will be able to detect these differences with ease.
If the problem is a fungus, professionals may use targeted fungicides or adjust the watering schedules to prevent future outbreaks. If pet stains are the cause, they can recommend soil conditioners or encourage seeding with urine-resistant grass varieties.
How turf experts fix it:
- Identification of disease and application of fungicides tailored to the specific condition
- Water management plan
- Specialized fertilizers can be used to correct nutrient deficiencies
- Reseeding or Sod Patching as Needed
-
Drainage Issues
Poor drainage leads to rotting roots, standing water, and soggy turf, which affect your lawn’s appearance and health. Adjusting your sprinkler settings alone is not enough. Sometimes, you will need to alter the contours of your yard and install drainage systems.
Turf professionals will assess slopes, soil compositions, and water flows. They may suggest French drains for water drainage, adjust irrigation systems, and amend soil.
How turf experts fix it:
- Lawn grading & re-sloping
- French drain or drywall installation
- Organic soil amendments for improved permeability
- Smart irrigation setup
-
Insect Infestation
Lawn-destroying pests like armyworms, chinch bugs, and grubs can quietly wreak destruction beneath the surface. Spongy turf, patches of brown, and visible insects are signs of an invasion. The wrong insecticide can cause more harm than good by killing pests and beneficial insects.
Turf professionals understand how to diagnose pest activity accurately and select the safest treatments. They also use integrated pest-management strategies that help prevent future infestations without harming the environment.
How turf experts fix it:
- Accurate pest identification
- Eco-friendly insecticides that are targeted
- Monitoring and treatment for prevention
