F.A.Q

How often should I water my lawn?

Clay Soil

Spring- Once, every other day for 15 minutes, not after 3:00p

Early Summer- Once daily for 15 minutes, not after 3:00p

Late Summer- Twice daily, 15 minutes each. Once between 5:00am-7:00a and again between Noon – 3:00p, No later.

Sandy Loam

Spring- Once daily for 15 minutes

Summer- Twice daily, 15 minutes each. Once between 5:00am-7:00a and again between Noon – 3:00p, No later.

Newly Seeded

Water 3 times daily to keep new seed moist for up to 21 days. Watering schedule will differ based on soil types. It is very important not to over water or under water. If you have concerns, please reach out to our office.

Helpful Tip: Cut back on watering if at 6:00p your shoes become wet and leave a footprint on cement after walking on the lawn.

 

 

How high should I cut my grass?

Grass should be cut NO shorter than 3.5in-4in. To ensure that your mower is correct, measure the blades from concrete or cement, while mower blades are off.

What are common signs of insect damage?

  • Inconsistent coloring of turf
  • Browning of turf in small or large areas
  • Critters digging in the lawn

What are common signs of lawn fungus?

  • Inconsistent coloring of turf
  • Brown or yellow lesions on grass blades
  • Red/ rusty color on shoes or mower blades

What can I expect, as far as crab grass prevention and growth throughout the season?

Crabgrass preemergent, which is applied at the beginning of the year, acts as a blanket of protection and prevents crabgrass from breaking through. Crabgrass CAN emerge in areas of which the “blanket” is broken. The most common areas where this can occur is:

  • Edges of sidewalks or driveways where it is commonly weed whipped too short
  • Areas of grass where it is mowed too short
  • Areas where the grass is thin and soil is visible
  • Areas where the soil is dry or cracked
  • High traffic areas

Helpful Tip: When turf is thick and healthy and is watered and mowed correctly our preemergent will last 90-120 days after application. If you experience crabgrass break through during the summer months, please note that it will die in the fall when we get the first frost.

What can I expect when Violets & Ground Ivy (Creeping Charlie) are present in my yard?

When treating these persistent weeds, we are only able to kill what is on the surface, which explains their consistent regrowth throughout the growing season. This will take several applications throughout the year to keep them at bay.

What are the benefits of Core Aeration, and why might Liquid Aeration be a good option for me?

Core Aeration

We offer Core Aerations during the Spring and Fall. Aeration is the removal of soil plugs from the lawn, creating a direct passageway for water, oxygen, and fertilizer to reach the root system. This will help the roots to grow longer, which ultimately results in healthier grass.

CORE AERATION CAN BE DAMAGING TO:

  • Irrigation System
  • Underground Dog Fencing
  • Internet cables

Liquid Aeration

This option is optimal to help reduce thatch build up. This is a liquid application that will create air pockets down in the root system and assist with soil decompaction and root growth. This is the best option for customer with irrigation systems, underground dog fencing and internet lines.

Why is the Fall a better time to seed your lawn?

Spring planting is always followed by Summer stress, which ultimately thins the new stand and often necessitates Fall re-seeding. The benefits of Fall seeding include:

  • Less mowing
  • Less activity on the lawn
  • Cooler temperatures
  • Better root growth
