Here are the benefits to have the fall services performed this season.
Core aeration can help make your lawn healthier and reduce its maintenance requirements through these means:
Improved air exchange between the soil and atmosphere.
Enhanced soil water uptake.
Improved fertilizer uptake and use.
Reduced water runoff and puddling.
Stronger turfgrass roots.
Reduced soil compaction.
Enhanced heat and drought stress tolerance.
We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend. Our office will be closed and no service will occur on Monday Sept 4.
The office will be closed on July 3 and no mowing crews scheduled. We will resume operations on Monday July 6. Our crews are staying out late this week to visit most of our properties in the 4 days.
With all the rain we have had, we still see customers with their sprinkers running. If your system does not have a rain gauge, then TURN OFF your system. Too much water can be more damaging then not enough. In fact, allowing lawns to start to go under mild drought stress actually increases rooting.
Due to the wet weather we have been having, we are noticing many properties with a fungus called red thread popping up. Like most grass diseases, red thread is very much weather related. When conditions are right for development, management of red thread is limited to checking and correcting any nutritional deficiencies or direct treatment with a fungicide material.
