10 Signs Your Lawn Needs Professional Treatment

Your lawn is a living system—and like any living thing, it shows signs when something’s wrong. Sometimes, homeowners assume they can fix issues with a little extra watering or fertilizer, but persistent problems often signal deeper issues that need expert attention.

At Anointed Lawn Care, we help homeowners identify and correct these issues before they cause lasting damage. Here are 10 signs your lawn needs professional treatment and how expert care can bring it back to life.

1. Your Grass Has Bare or Thin Patches

If you notice thin spots or patches that refuse to grow, it’s often due to soil compaction, nutrient deficiency, or disease. These areas may look dry even when watered regularly.

A professional can diagnose the root cause and use core aeration, overseeding, or fertilization to fill in those spots with healthy growth.

2. Weeds Keep Coming Back

You pull them, spray them, and they still return. Recurring weed problems are usually a sign that your grass is too weak to compete naturally.

Anointed Lawn Care’s pre- and post-emergent weed control programs tackle both existing and emerging weeds—while strengthening your grass to prevent new ones from sprouting.

3. Your Lawn Drains Poorly or Has Standing Water

Puddles or soggy areas after rain mean your lawn has a drainage problem. Over time, standing water can drown roots, cause fungus, and attract pests.

Our team can fix drainage issues through soil aeration, leveling, or moisture management treatments designed to improve absorption and water flow.

4. Grass Looks Yellow or Discolored

Yellow, dull, or uneven color usually points to nutrient imbalances or soil pH problems. Without proper testing, adding fertilizer blindly can make things worse.

We perform professional soil analyses to determine what your lawn actually needs—then customize a fertilization plan that restores deep, even green color.

5. You See Signs of Lawn Disease

Brown spots, rings, or fuzzy patches often mean fungus or lawn disease is spreading. The longer it goes untreated, the harder it is to reverse.

Anointed Lawn Care’s disease control treatments target fungus before it damages your entire yard—and we help adjust watering, mowing, and feeding habits to prevent future outbreaks.

6. Insects or Grubs Are Damaging Your Turf

If you notice soft spots underfoot, brown patches, or birds pecking at your lawn, you might have a grub infestation.

We use timed insect control applications that target pests like grubs, chinch bugs, fire ants, and armyworms—without harming beneficial insects.

7. Your Soil Feels Hard or Compact

If you struggle to push a screwdriver or stake into your lawn, your soil is compacted. That means roots can’t breathe or absorb water effectively.

Core aeration relieves compaction, allowing roots to spread deeper and improving nutrient uptake across your entire lawn.

8. You’re Watering Constantly, But Grass Still Looks Dry

If your lawn stays dull or dry even with regular watering, it might have poor moisture retention or a damaged root system.

Our moisture management service using LESCO® Moisture Manager helps your soil retain water efficiently—reducing waste and keeping your turf hydrated longer.

9. Your Lawn Grows Unevenly

Uneven or patchy growth is a classic sign of inconsistent nutrients or soil health issues. Some spots thrive, while others struggle.

Through soil conditioning and customized fertilization, we balance your lawn’s nutrient levels to promote consistent color and density.

10. You’re Spending Too Much Time Trying to Fix It

If you’re constantly treating, watering, or mowing your lawn without seeing results, it’s time to call in the experts.

Professional lawn care saves time, money, and frustration—delivering visible, lasting results that DIY solutions can’t match.
