The Oasis Lawn & Tree Care Blog

A lawn that has thin or bare areas can be a major source of frustration. But how to make grass thicker can sometimes feel like an elusive issue. In fact, you might have even tried a lot of different things and still aren’t getting the results that you desire. You just want some cut and dry answers as to how to achieve a fuller lawn that you can be proud to show off.

When it comes to finding great places to work in the lawn care industry, one thing that is commonly heard is that lawn care workers often don’t feel appreciated.

Whether they’re out in the field or working with the team inside the office, there seems to be echoed sentiments about not getting the support that they need to succeed at their job—let alone feeling as though they actually like coming to work because of great workplace perks.

That’s why, when we started Oasis Turf & Tree, it was always a goal to build a business where people love coming to work.

The saying may be that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side—but what if it is? We’re not talking metaphorically but in real life. What if your neighbor’s lawn is always greener?

Even though you don’t live there, you might be right next door—or perhaps right across the street—and you can’t help but notice what’s going on in their lawn. In fact, on the flipside, if your neighbor’s lawn is full of weeds, that might be a frustration, too. Not only do you have to look at their lawn (and worry it will bring your property value down), but you might be worried about those weeds creeping into your lawn.

Although she didn’t grow up doing landscaping work or even working outdoors, Taylor Payzant says that when she graduated from high school, she knew that she was “ready to be done staring at a computer or sitting down all day.”

Because of that, she was eager to find a job where she could spend time outside and move around more. That led her to take a job for a residential mulching company while also applying for potential tree care or landscaping jobs.

Of all the different problems that lawns face, lawn weeds in Cincinnati, Dayton, OH, and Northern KY seem to come up most often. People hate weeds—and we completely understand why. Weeds are a major eyesore that can really detract from the overall look of your lawn. The trouble is, even when it feels like you’re doing everything right, weeds still seem to creep in.
