LAWN CARE TIPS

Never use irrigation during the afternoon heat

Watering in the high sun can scorch grass blades on the surface and kill your lawn very quick.

Cutting grass height

When mowing your lawn, be sure to cut no more than 1/3rd off the grass blade height. Cutting too short weakens the root and the crown, and makes the lawn susceptible to weeds and insects. A healthy grass height of 3 to 3.5 inches will ease stress and survive the summer drought.

Don't water at night

Watering at night can cause fungus growth in your grass and cause browning.

Mow twice a week

During the summer months when grass is growing at it's fastest, it is best to mow twice a week to prevent the grass from getting too tall.

Winter Turf

Mowing a dormant lawn on a dry winter day is a great way to groom your lawn and remove debris. This is a great time to inspect your lawn for winter weeds and prepare for spring treatment.

Planting trees and shrubs

January and February is a good time to plant new shrubs and trees in our region. Be sure to follow planting and care instructions for each breed.
