The Oasis Lawn & Tree Care Blog

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. Across the country, lawn care companies have expressed that they are experiencing issues with obtaining products and equipment they need to perform their services—and they are seeing cost increases across the board.

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.

In a number of industries outside of lawn care, Quality Assurance Managers are relatively common. These are folks that oversee the workmanship and performance of the team and their work. This role helps to ensure that the work being done gets performed correctly so that customers get the best possible experience (and results).

Most people who really love their lawns think about it in terms of how it makes their property look. When the grass is thick, green, and healthy, they’re proud to show off their beautiful lawn.

But there are actually many more benefits of grass lawns beyond just aesthetics and curb appeal.

Oasis Turf & Tree’s Toucan logo is the perfect representation of our goal to help you create your backyard Oasis. The image of the toucan brings a sense of paradise to mind and that’s what we are looking to create in our clients’ backyards.

Over the years, we’ve all come to embrace the Toucan and even created an award named after it. For the past four years we have been giving out a Toucan of the Year award for employee recognition.
