Partnership suggestion:

Make sure your mower blades are sharp and set mower deck to 3-inch height. Begin the routine mowing schedule. Remember to cut when lawn is dry and soil moisture saturation is low enough to support weight of equipment without tearing.

3. LATE SUMMER/EARLY FALL APPLICATION

(JULY/AUG/SEPT)

Our summer blend fertilization formula provides the balanced nutrients needed to maintain immune system strength during the stressful summer growth season when lawns can become dry and begin to brown due to heat, drought and slower growing conditions causing an increase in disease and insect activity. Providing the right nutrition, which can be absorbed as needed with even modest rain or dew can be the life-saving difference for your lawn.

Partnership suggestion:

Assess routine mowing schedule - may need more time in between mowings or when needed if no growth occurs maintain deck height between 3-3.5 inches. Cutting only the top 1/3 of the turfgrass blade, where moisture and nutrients are stored, will maintain optimal growing conditions and protect during drought. Cutting with sharp blades when lawn is dry helps prevent torn brown tips and potential disease. If needed water during early morning or early evening hours with a 30-60 minute slow soak one time per week.

Grub Control:

-Grubs are the infant stage of adult beetles that live underground and feed on plant roots. Grub infestations in lawns, due to overpopulation of invasive beetle species, causes severe but preventable damage. Each adult beetle can lay thousands of eggs per season. As the grubs mature they can literally destroy an entire lawn.

 

Timely treatment occurs in conjunction with our visit for the spring/summer lawn application for your protection. This will appear as a separate service charge as part of the 5 yearly services in 4 visits.

Cutting only the top 1/3 of the turfgrass blade, where moisture and nutrients are stored, will maintain optimal growing conditions and protect during drought. Cutting with sharp blades when the lawn is dry helps prevent torn brown tips and potential disease.

4. FALL/WINTERIZATION APPLICATION

(OCT/NOV)

Our winter fertilization formula is one of the most important of the year. Just as hibernating animals need to store winter food, your lawn needs a supply of nutrients to thrive through a long winters nap. Despite dormancy, lawns need fuel. Winterization is key to a healthy and vibrant spring awakening.

Partnership suggestion:

Continue mowing through growing season. Lower deck height between 2-2.5 inches to help prevent snow damage and winter rodent damage. Now is a good time to perform yearly eco-friendly mower maintenance and blade sharpening. Make sure your snow blower runs smoothly before the snow flies. Assess your winter ice melt product need for protection from slipping and falling. Products are available that are non-corrosive and safer for pets, plants and planet. Also helps protect your home investment by helping prevent damage to sensitive wooden or metal areas such as decks or walkways.
