Local conditions

Lawn Care in Mead

More snow, cooler nights and a mix of new subdivisions and acreage.

Mead sits just north of Spokane, with Green Bluff and the foothills of Mt. Spokane rising to the east, and lawns here tend to see more snow and cooler nights than central Spokane, especially on the higher ground toward Green Bluff.

Deep, long-lasting snow is hard on a lawn. It compacts the soil, which is why spring core aeration matters most after a heavy-snow winter, and leaves or needles left under it invite snow mold. A fall cleanup that clears the lawn and finishes with a final mow sends the grass into winter in better shape.

Around Mead you'll find new subdivisions next to older homes on acreage. Newer homes often come with in-ground sprinklers that need programming and a fall blowout, and homes that back onto fields and woods tend to see more mice and spiders looking for a way in, which is where pest control helps.

Questions

Mead Lawn & Pest Questions

Why are there so many yellow jackets around Mead and Green Bluff in late summer?

Yellow jacket colonies are at their biggest in late summer, and the wasps go after ripe and fallen fruit, so yards with fruit trees or near orchards, like many around Green Bluff, tend to see more of them. Picking up fallen fruit helps. Ground nests in lawns and beds are the ones people step on. Automated Lawn & Pest Control treats wasp and yellow jacket nests, including nests in the ground.

What are the gray or pink patches on my lawn after the snow melts?

Usually snow mold, a fungus that grows under long-lasting snow, especially when it falls on ground that hasn't frozen hard. It's more common where snow lies longest, like the higher ground around Mead. Once the patches dry, rake them lightly so air can get in; most lawns recover as they green up. To make it less likely next year, clear leaves and needles off the lawn and finish with a final mow before the snow. A fall cleanup covers both.

Should I aerate my lawn after a heavy-snow winter in Mead?

Yes, that's when it helps most. Months under snow compact the soil, and spring core aeration pulls plugs so water, air and fertilizer can reach the roots again. Fall is the other good window. Most lawns need it once a year; lawns with heavy foot traffic or clay soil can benefit from twice. Automated Lawn & Pest Control aerates lawns across Mead, Colbert and Green Bluff.
