Understanding Crane Fly Larvae and Their Effect on GroundsCrane fly larvae, often referred to as soil-dwelling grubs, inhabit the soil and consume grassroots along with other organic material. They are typically most active in fall and spring. High populations can damage turf, leaving it patchy, soft, and vulnerable to further wear or stress. On sp

Understanding Leatherjackets and Their EffectsCrane fly larvae, or immature crane flies, dwell in the soil and consume grassroots and decomposing plant matter. Activity peaks in spring and autumn, often resulting in thinning turf and increased surface vulnerability. On grounds in use, this can interfere with play and increase upkeep requirements.Sp

What Is Thatch and Its ImpactThatch is a dense layer of dead grass, roots, and decomposed matter accumulating between the soil surface and the living grass above. While a small quantity is harmless, an excessive buildup interferes with water penetration, slows nutrient delivery, and creates surface moisture – a key factor in fungal development. L

Why Weeds Are a Bigger Problem Than They AppearWeeds might seem harmless, but they compete directly with desirable plants for water, light, and nutrients. Without intervention, they may overrun gardens, fields, and commercial grounds, causing damage that’s costly to fix.Some persistent species impact soil structure, which may create drainage conc
