5 Signs It’s Time to Call a Lawn Care Professional

A healthy, green lawn makes your whole home look better. But keeping it that way? Not always easy. Between Utah’s dry summers, tough weeds, and soil challenges, even the most dedicated DIY homeowner can hit a wall.

So how do you know when it’s time to put down the spreader and pick up the phone? Here are five clear signs it’s time to call a lawn care professional.

1. Your Weeds Are Winning

Dandelions, crabgrass, and clover can spread fast. If it feels like every time you mow, new weeds pop up the next day, you’re fighting an uphill battle.
👉 A professional service has access to commercial-grade weed control products that stop weeds at the root — and prevent them from coming back.

2. Brown Spots Keep Spreading

A few dry patches can be fixed with water, but if your lawn has:

• Expanding brown circles

• Thin, patchy areas

• Or grass that won’t green up no matter what you try...
  …it could be disease, grubs, or soil issues. Professionals can diagnose the exact problem and apply the right treatment before your whole lawn suffers.

3. Your Fertilizer Isn’t Working

Grabbing a bag of fertilizer from the store is easy — but getting the timing, nutrient balance, and application rate right? Not so simple. Too much can burn your lawn, too little won’t make a difference.
👉 A lawn care pro builds a treatment plan tailored to your grass type, soil condition, and the local climate.

4. You’re Spending More Time (and Money) Than You’d Like

Between fertilizers, weed sprays, spreaders, and sprayers, DIY lawn care costs add up quickly. Add in the time spent every weekend, and you might find you’re investing more than you’d spend hiring a professional — without getting the same results.

5. You Want Curb Appeal Without the Stress

Sometimes the best reason to call a professional is peace of mind. A thick, green, weed-free lawn boosts your home’s value, looks great year-round, and frees you from the frustration of trial and error.
