Spring Lawn Care

"We're going to sod sections of the yard, and we'll do the back and side and portions of the front as well," Shaffer said. The grass died in March after her lawn care company, ProLawn, treated it, she says. "I noticed that the grass was starting to turn brown after they put it down, and it was early spring, so everybody else's grass was greening up, and mine was just getting progressively browner," she said. He believes the spring seeding, combined with a re-seed in the fall, would have fixed the problem. When the seed was down, however, Collier got opinions from other lawn companies who all recommended the yard be re-sodded. But as long as his company does the job, he agreed to re-sod nearly the entire yard. After assessing the problem, ProLawn owner Mark Schaffer offered to aerate and seed the affected areas. "We went back and reviewed all the records, and we couldn't find any mistakes," he said.
