The ground in Lewiston

Lewiston is the northernmost town in Cache Valley and sits on the Idaho line. Lawns here green up later than lawns in Logan because snow often stays on the ground longer. Much of the town is open farm ground on the valley floor.

Lawn problems we look for in Lewiston

Crabgrass after a late spring

Crabgrass seed sprouts once the soil warms in late spring. Our April visit puts down the first feed with a pre-emergent that keeps most crabgrass seed from sprouting. The pre-emergent works only if it is in the soil before the seed sprouts.

Weeds from the field edge

Many Lewiston lots border fields and ditch banks where broadleaf weeds go to seed. Wind carries that seed into the lawn. We treat the whole lawn for weeds in May and August and use spot treatment on the other visits.

Fewer growing weeks

A late spring and an early fall leave the grass less time to grow and repair damage. If you add fall renovation, ask for a September date so the new seed can root before hard frost. Water the new seed every day for about two weeks.
