"You've taken my lawn from good to outrageous! I really appreciate the great job your company does fertilizing my lawn."

Ronald, Rochester

"With up to 90% of the weight of a grass plant in its roots, turfgrass makes a very efficient erosion prevention device, also removing soil particles from silty water."

Mushrooms

Damp weather and high humidity are ideal conditions for mushrooms. The fungus "pops" up from dead organic matter in the soil. Decaying of buried wood, an old tree stump, or roots of a tree that has been removed, will also contribute to mushrooms showing up in a lawn. Also, something as simple as grass clippings decaying on the soil surface can bring about mushrooms.

Chemical treatment for mushrooms is generally not very effective. Simply mowing over the mushrooms will break them up and contribute in ridding the fungus. However, less rain and lower humidity will have the biggest effect on making the fungus disappear.
