Aeration opens the soil. Overseeding helps fill the lawn. Adding grass seed to an existing lawn can improve turf density, strengthen thin areas, and give new grass a chance to grow where the lawn has become sparse.

When seed is applied after core aeration, some of it settles into the openings created by the aerator. That improves seed-to-soil contact instead of leaving all the seed exposed on the surface.

Finley’s can complete the aeration and seeding together, saving customers the time and expense of arranging two separate services.

Schedule before September 1 and agree to pay by cash or check to save 20%.

Compacted soil makes it harder for a lawn to get what it needs.

Core aeration removes small plugs of soil throughout the lawn. Those openings help relieve compaction and allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone more effectively.

The plugs left behind are a normal part of the process. They gradually break down and return organic material to the soil.

If your lawn feels hard, struggles to absorb water, or has thin areas despite regular care, core aeration may be worth considering.

Why do we talk so much about seeding in the fall?

The soil is still warm enough to help grass seed germinate, while the cooler air is more favorable for new grass growth. That gives young grass time to begin establishing before winter and provides a head start when spring arrives.

Overseeding will not create a perfect lawn overnight, but it can help fill thin areas and improve the overall density of the turf.

Our Fall Lawn Renovation brochures will begin arriving in local mailboxes during the second week of August.

Fall is one of the best times to help a thin or compacted lawn recover. Core aeration removes small plugs of soil so air, water, and nutrients can move more easily toward the roots. Adding seed at the same time helps improve seed-to-soil contact and encourages thicker turf.

Customers who sign up for Core Aeration with Seeding before September 1 and agree to pay by cash or check will save 20%.

Call 620-378-BUGS, message us, or visit www.FinleysLawnandPest.com to get on the schedule.

Bagworms are one of those pests that get worse the longer they’re ignored.

They start small, hide well, and feed as they grow. Once damage shows up on your trees or shrubs, especially evergreens, it may take time to recover—and some damage may be permanent.

This is why it’s important to pay attention when you first notice hanging bags, browning branches, or thinning foliage.

If bagworms are showing up on your property, call Finley’s Lawn & Pest.

Bagworms leave clues.

Watch for:
Small cone-shaped bags hanging from branches
Browning or thinning on evergreens
Branches that look stripped or patchy
Bags that look like dried plant material stuck to the tree

They are often found on evergreens, but they can show up on other trees and shrubs too. The sooner you notice them, the better.

If you’re not sure what you’re seeing, call Finley’s Lawn & Pest.

Their bags are made from bits of needles, leaves, and plant material. That means they can look like part of the tree instead of a pest problem.

Many homeowners don’t notice them until the bags get larger or until the plant starts showing stress. By then, the bagworms have already been feeding.

Take a slow look at your evergreens, shrubs, and ornamentals. If something looks like little hanging pinecones or debris, it may be bagworms.

Finley’s Lawn & Pest can help.

As bagworms grow, they eat foliage from the plant they’re living on. On evergreens, that can be a serious problem because the damage may not grow back the way homeowners expect.

A few bagworms may not look like much at first, but the damage can add up quickly when there are several on one tree or shrub.

If you notice browning, thinning, or hanging bags on your plants, give Finley’s a call.

𝗕𝗮𝗴𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘁.

They start small, blend into trees and shrubs, and carry little protective “bags” made from pieces of the plant they’re feeding on. By the time most people notice them hanging from branches, they may have already been eating for a while.

Bagworms are especially hard on evergreens, ornamental trees, and shrubs. If you’re seeing small cone-shaped bags hanging from your plants, it’s worth taking a closer look.

Finley’s Lawn & Pest does treat for bagworms.

𝗕𝗮𝗴𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀.
They hatch small, begin feeding, and build protective bags around themselves as they grow. Those bags make them harder to notice and harder to deal with as the season goes on.

As they mature, they continue feeding on the plant while staying tucked inside that protective covering. Later, the females can leave behind eggs inside the bags, starting the cycle over again for next year.

If you’re seeing bagworms now, don’t ignore them.
