MOWING
- Around mid-March, our crews are out starting Spring Clean-ups. These clean-ups take away the majority of the winter debris left on the lawn and in the shrub beds over the off months. Before long, the grass will start growing FAST! One thing that is important to remember is the one-third rule: NEVER remove more than one-third of the blade. That blade is like an antenna. The longer it is (between 3 - 3 1/2 inches) the more sunlight it receives to feed the roots (during the short, Spring day, it needs all the sun it can get!). Especially in this time of year, do not hack it down like a golf green. It is not healthy for the lawn and in the summer time, when it's dry and hot, you run the risk of burning your lawn!LANDSCAPING - The trucks and tractors are being readied. The shrubs are being ordered. Before long, we'll be out hitting the pavement. The waiting list is growing. So, if you have an idea for your home, call now for a free estimate. We'll be happy to make your home look like a well maintained estate!
TIME
Please remember that a new lawn takes time to grow and develop into a dense stand of turf grass. All commercially grown sod starts by seed. It takes 18-20 months from the time of seeding till the sod is thick enough to be harvested. Your lawn will need that amount of time also before it is thick and full. In that time, it needs to be fed, watered, and kept weed free. Spring seeding takes a bit longer because the ground is still starting to warm up.
As we have explained, some problems we can deal with, other problems
may take time and patience to solve. With your understanding of these
problems, we can work together to reach our goal: A thick green stand
of turf grass in your lawn.
