1. Over Fertilizing
Fertilizer application errors may injure the grass. This could potentially contribute to disease and other lawn problems.
2. Over Watering
Applying too much water contributes to poor rooting and thatch accumulation. This could lead to other lawn problems.
3. Under Watering
Under watering is a common problem that will dehydrate your lawn from moisture and starve it of growth. This problem could be fatal to your lawns overall well-being.
4. Wrong Grass for the Site
The wrong type of grass can lead to problems, since some grasses prefer different resources than others. Some prefer shade, others prefer lots of sun. Some grasses have more tolerance than others for wear and tear as well.
5. Poorly Prepared Soils
It is very important to prepare the site prior to seeding or sodding. If the proper preparations are not taken, the grass will not root thoroughly.
6. Mowing Too Short
Raising the mowing height can improve the quality of your lawn and reduce problems such as crabgrass. A good mow length is between 2-1/2 and 3 inches.
7. Not Enough Sun
Lawns that are in shade are not going to work as well as lawns with a lot of sun. If a site has too much shade, then the grass will not grow properly.
