My kids love to play outside. Whether it’s running through the sprinkler or playing on the playset, they love to be out in our yard. But for several years after moving into our new house, our yard looked like this:
My husband worked hard on the lawn. He bought grass seed, bought fertilizer, watered it and weeded it. He sought advice from the employees at different home improvement stores and would try their suggestions.
But they had no more idea how to grow grass than he did.
After several years of trying method after method and failing, my husband and I decided to call TruGreen.
And this is what our lawn looks like now:
It’s so much softer and nicer to walk on. Instead of bare patches and huge sections of weeds, we have plush, full grass now. It’s so much nicer to walk on, play on and sit on.
And a lawn full of green grass is much better for curb appeal, of course. As I drive through my neighborhood and see the different lawns, it makes me happy to see how green and healthy my yard looks. It shows that we take pride in our yard and looks 100% nicer than it did before.

Just like in our situation, many homeowners don’t have the resources and knowledge to properly care for their grass, even though we all want a healthy green lawn.
In TruGreen’s Lawn Lifestyles National Survey of America, they found that:
• More than half (58%) of homeowners named “eating and/or entertaining outside with family or friends” as one of the most common ways they currently use their outdoor space.
• More than half of Americans surveyed (53%) said “the quality of the homeowner’s lawn can tell you a lot about the quality of the home overall.”
• Less than half (only 45%) of homeowners knew the types of grass and trees in their yard.
• Only 15 percent of homeowners knew bare spots can occur from too much water.
• Only 25 percent of respondents knew grass becomes prone to bare spots if mowed too low.
