Properly watering your lawn is critical to its overall health and performance. While we find that most homeowners realize their lawn needs water, they typically aren’t sure exactly how much.

Having been in the lawn and landscape industry for more than 45 years, Jeff Murphy has gained a reputation as the resident “tree expert” that he says comes from many years in the field and attending dozens and dozens of seminars over the years.

Tree and shrub care can be incredibly complex and if you’re searching for information on trees and shrubs—or perhaps speaking with a Tree and Shrub Care Specialist—then you might find some terminology you’re not familiar with. For that reason, you might even be searching for how to understand trees & shrubs for dummies.

When it comes to your family—more specifically, your kids—nothing is more important. That’s why you might be asking questions like are lawn services safe?

At Oasis Turf & Tree, we have always said that aeration and overseeding are two of the best things that you can do for your lawn. But we still find that homeowners are sometimes skeptical.

It’s nearly impossible to find an industry not impacted by the supply chain struggles right now—and the lawn care industry is no exception.

Few things frustrate homeowners with their lawn more than brown spots in the grass. In fact, for most homeowners, it’s a bigger gripe than weeds. Brown spots in the lawn are particularly frustrating if you feel as though you’ve taken all the right steps.

Perhaps, you even pay for professional lawn care services.

When homeowners invest in professional lawn care, they often feel as though they should never have to deal with lawn problems again but that’s unfortunately not the case. There are issues outside of the control of even the best lawn care providers.

In this article, we’ll talk about why you may have brown spots on your lawn and what you can do about it.

While you might have found the children’s book The Hungry Caterpillar charming, we know that if you have experienced fall armyworms on your lawn, you likely didn’t find it nearly as cute. Unfortunately, that book about a tiny caterpillar born hungry who eats everything in sight is a bit too much like what can really happen with fall armyworm damage.

Prior to coming to Oasis Turf & Tree, Dagan Stiles had already found his way into the Green Industry working for another company. But he says it’s not a career he initially imagined he’d get into. In fact, he was going to school for biotechnology.

One of the most frustrating things about lawn fungus is that you can do everything right—and it’s sometimes still unavoidable. Lawn diseases like Brown Patch and Dollar Spot are common in Cincinnati and Dayton, OH, and Northern Kentucky, and when the conditions are right (hot and wet), it may be inevitable.
