Frequently Asked Questions
Free Weed & Lawn Problem Identifier FAQs
Why doesn't regular weed killer work on nutsedge?
Nutsedge is a sedge, not a true grass, so standard broadleaf and grassy-weed herbicides don't touch it — it needs a targeted nutsedge herbicide.
Is brown patch fungus common in Northern Virginia?
Yes — circular brown or tan patches are common on tall fescue in humid summer weather, and are usually fixed with fungicide treatment plus adjusted (deep, infrequent, morning-only) watering.
How do I know if I have grub damage vs. drought stress?
Grub damage feels different underfoot — dead patches lift up like loose carpet because the grubs have eaten the roots, and you’ll often see white C-shaped larvae underneath.
Does clover mean something is wrong with my lawn?
Clover often signals nitrogen-poor or compacted soil — fertilization plus a broadleaf herbicide clears it, and a thicker lawn keeps it from coming back.
