        Hi John,

        I have taken a look at your site and believe that you are doing the structure right. Many people will say that you should not have a parent page however I tend to disagree. In WordPress "Siloing" works very well.

        So to answer your question, do not mix up your pages and articles (posts), your pages must be siloed (eg www.greensidelawncare.com/lawn-tips/turf-weed-help) however your POSTS (blog) do not have to silo (eg: www.greensidelawncare.com/name-of-article-1)

        Structure:

        Lawn Care (links to www.greensidelawncare.com/lawn-care) (page)

        • Grass Diseases (links to www.greensidelawncare.com/lawn-tips/grass-dieases) (page)

        • Turf Weeds Help (links to www.greensidelawncare.com/lawn-tips/turf-weed-help) (page)

        • Selecting Grass Types (links to www.greensidelawncare.com/lawn-tips/selecting-grass-types) (page)

        Lawn Tips (links to www.greensidelawncare.com/lawn-tips) (main blog page)

        • Article 1 (links to www.greensidelawncare.com/name-of-article-1) (blog article)

        • Article 2 (links to www.greensidelawncare.com/name-of-article-1) (blog article)

        -  Article 3 (links to www.greensidelawncare.com/name-of-article-1) (blog article)

        Landscaping (links to www.greensidelawncare.com/landscaping/) (page)

        • idea (links to www.greensidelawncare.com/landscaping/child-1) (page)

        • idea (links to www.greensidelawncare.com/landscaping/child-2) (page)

        • idea. (links to www.greensidelawncare.com/landscaping/child-3) (page)

        Side note: I suggest that on your blog page greensidelawncare.com/lawn-tips/ that you do not show the full post for each article, make sure that it only shows the excerpt (just a small summary linking through to the full article) in the main blog feed or you may have duplicate content issues.
