As summer winds down in Georgia, your lawn is likely showing signs of stress. Between heat, foot traffic, and dry spells, the soil gets compacted, and the grass thins out. Fall is the season to turn things around, and the best way to do that is with aeration and overseeding.
Georgia's warm, humid climate makes it a perfect place to enjoy the outdoors, but it also creates ideal conditions for fleas and ticks. These pests can cause serious health issues for both people and pets, so it's important to understand how to prevent and control them effectively.
Many homeowners think of fall as the time to start lawn care, but the truth is that success in autumn begins with smart planning in summer. July is the perfect time to take proactive steps that will set your lawn up for a strong recovery and vibrant growth in the cooler months ahead.
By July, Georgia lawns have endured weeks of intense sun, high humidity, and frequent foot traffic. If your grass is looking tired, thin, or patchy, you're not alone. The good news is that you don't have to start from scratch to bring your lawn back to life.

North Georgia is home to some beautiful, sprawling horse pastures, and if you're a horse owner or caretaker in the area, you know that keeping your pasture healthy is no small feat.
We love our dogs—but we also love a healthy, great-looking lawn. If you've noticed random brown or yellow patches popping up in your yard, and they always seem to be in the same spots where your pup likes to "do their business," you're not imagining things.
Establishing a beautiful lawn on a newly built lot or repairing your existing lawn after heavy construction can be a frustrating process.
Georgia's warm climate means there are a few standout grass types that thrive here, with three main contenders: Bermuda, Zoysia and Fescue.
If you have warm-season grasses, core aeration is an important step in maintaining a healthy lawn, especially during the spring. Soil compaction can negatively impact your lawn by restricting root growth and limiting the availability of water and nutrients.

The new year is here, and with the cold settling in, it's important to consider what that means for your lawn in 2025.
Now that winter is in full swing here in Georgia, many homeowners are noticing the challenges that freezing temperatures and frosty nights bring to their lawns and gardens.
As the winter cold sets in, gardeners may face the challenge of protecting their plants from pests and diseases that can overwinter in their garden. While plants themselves may be dormant during the colder months, many pests remain active.
As winter rolls in, many of us face the same challenge: our lush lawns begin to lose their green color as common warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia go dormant and turn brown. Enter turf painting, which involves using an organic colorant to give your lawn a green appearance, even during winter, without overseeding.
Georgia's southern climate allows for both warm-season and cool-season grasses, which can be confusing for homeowners. Cool-season grasses stay green during winter months, while warm-season grasses enter dormancy, turning light brown. If your warm-season grass—like Bermuda, Zoysia, or St. Augustine—is browning, don't fret just yet; it may just be dormant rather than diseased.
