Grubs

Everyone has some grubs, but when you have too many grubs they will eat too much of the roots of your grass and leave you with huge bare spots (1/4 to 1/2 of your lawn) nothing but dirt.  By the time you realize you have a grub problem, damage has already been done.  Due to our mild winter and plenty of rain this Spring, we are predicting that it will be an active grub season. Please call (or email) the office if you would like a grub treatment.   

Fertilize and Weed Control

The three summer/early fall rounds are both a fertilzer and weed control.  As a result of the drought year, many have told me they have thin spots in the lawn.  To thicken up the yard, all three of the fertilizer applications are important.

Applications should be watered in within 5 days and before you mow (unless you mulch).   

Tired of Pulling Weeds in Your Flower Beds?

Now is the time for a Flower Bed Pre-emergent!  The application is about 70-80% effective.  These applications will not harm your flowers, bushes, or trees.  The weed control for flower beds program consists of 3 pre-emergents with the first being applied at the beginning of the year with round 1.  Additionally during the summer when we are applying the lawn applications, we will also spray any grassy weeds that pop up in your flowerbeds. 

Watering Your Lawn 

To achieve a healthy green lawn, the goal is one inch of water per week.  We recommend setting your sprinkler system to 30 minutes per zone, twice per week.  If you do not have a sprinkler system, an old fashioned sprinkler will work just fine.
