Spring Has Arrived! It is now time to scalp your lawn, aerate your lawn, and lawns need one inch of water per week. We will begin spraying round 2 this week. (For new customers, we will continue to spray round 1 until the end of March/first week of April.) Rounds 1 and 2 are both pre-emergents that will keep those pesky broadleaf weeds from coming up in the spring and summer. Both rounds are crucial to providing the beautiful lawn that everyone desires come summer time. Pre-emergents should be watered in within 14 days and before you mow (unless you mulch).
Aeration is the secret weapon in making your lawn healthy. Aeration involves making holes in the lawn either by pushing a rod into it or by "coring", extracting a plug of soil. Aerations allow nutriets and water to better reach the root system and remove thatch.
Would you like more time to enjoy your flowers rather than spending all your time pulling weeds? We have a weed control program specifically for flowerbeds. It is 70-80% effective. The treatment is applied 3 times per year with the first application being applied NOW. As part of the service, whenever we are spraying your lawn application, we will also spray grassy weeds in your flower beds.
As the temps rise, so will fleas and ticks. I have a flea and tick program that works well. I apply the application twice,10-14 days apart. On my own yard, I normally apply it in late spring/early summer. Some years, I need to treat the yard again in late summer/early fall. I have two dogs, live next to a field and a creek, and the treatment works very well.
