Invest in lawn care services to help your grass recover from dollar spot.

Once dollar spot has been eliminated from your lawn, you'll want to take steps to help it recover. One way to do this is by investing in lawn care services. Some of the most beneficial lawn care services that you should schedule include:

• Lawn Fertilization: Fertilizer treatments supply your lawn with essential nutrients that will help it recover from any damage caused by dollar spot. These nutrients will also encourage new growth and strengthen it so it can better resist future stressors.
• Weed Control: Weeds can steal nutrients and resources from your grass, which can hinder its recovery process. By investing in weed control treatments, you can keep your lawn free of weeds so it can focus on recovering after a dollar spot infection.
• Aeration: Aeration involves pulling up cores of soil to loosen compaction and make it easier for nutrients and other resources to reach the roots of your grass. This will give your lawn better access to everything it needs to recover from dollar spot.
