🌱 Ecoscape Lawn Health Check: Is Your Lawn in Trouble?

Take 5 minutes to evaluate your yard and do a Lawn Health Check find out if your lawn is healthy—or if it’s time to call in the pros.

✅ 1. Grass Color Check:

• Bright green and even?→ Lawn is healthy.

• Yellow, brown, or patchy spots?→ Possible issues: poor soil, lack of nutrients, overwatering, or pests.
  

✅ 2. Bare Spots & Thin Patches:

• Full coverage, no dirt patches?→ You’re in good shape.

• Noticeable bare spots, especially in high-traffic areas?→ Indicates soil compaction, disease, or insufficient watering.
  

✅ 3. Weed Situation:

• Few to no weeds visible?→ Lawn is competing well.

• Dandelions, clover, crabgrass, or other weeds popping up everywhere?→ Your lawn might need proper weed control and denser growth.
  

✅ 4. Soil Test (Optional):

• Try sticking a screwdriver 6” into your lawn.

  • Easy penetration? Soil is likely loose and healthy.

  • Hard to get through? Your lawn may be compacted, starving roots of air and nutrients.
    

✅ 5. Pest & Disease Signs:

• Do you notice:

  • Chewed or eaten blades?

  • Brown or black fungal spots?

  • Lawn grubs, ants, or chinch bugs?

• Any of these mean your lawn could be under attack and needs intervention.
  

✅ 6. Irrigation Check:

• Do you water consistently (early mornings, 2-3x a week)?

• Do you see pooling water, runoff, or dry areas? → Uneven watering can cause both overwatering and drought stress.
  

✅ 7. Mowing Height & Frequency:

• Is your grass being cut at the correct height (3”-4” for St. Augustine, for example)?

• Are you mowing too short or infrequently, leading to scalping or stress?
  

🚩 Red Flags to Watch For:

• Persistent brown patches despite watering

• Mushrooms growing frequently (may indicate poor drainage)

• Excessive thatch buildup (spongy layer when you walk)
  

📞 Results:

• Mostly ✅s? Great job! Keep up with regular maintenance.
