After An Application Is Applied:
If it does not rain within twenty-four hours after our visit, please
water your lawn thoroughly. These treatments need to be "washed"
into the soil.
A lot
of factors determine how great a lawn will look. Weed Control and
Fertilizer are just one aspect of achieving a heathy yard. Our goal
is to provide you with a beautiful lawn by keeping weeds under control
and supplying the nutrients needed to promote a thick, healthy turf.
Many factors, including water and mowing practices, weather conditions,
and type of weeds, play a role in a good-looking lawn.
Spring:
This is an ideal time for planting as the warmer temperatures and
regular precipitation makes conditions good for plant establishment.
One thing to remember is to wait until the last frost is over before
planting trees and flowers. This is a good time to check your sprinkler
system to make sure it is working correctly and set to proper watering
times.
Watering:
It may seem obvious but proper watering techniques are essential
to an attractive lawn. The Occasional light rains or short downpours
are not enough to ensure your soil has been sufficiently soaked.
The best time to water is in the morning. This conserves water that
would be evaporate if you were to water later in the day, but also
allows grass to dry before evening. Grass that remains wet for long
periods of time is more susceptible to disease development.
What
is the best way to water my lawn?
Established lawns should be watered deeply, but infrequently. Deep
watering once or maybe twice a week encourages deeper root growth,
while shallow watering produces a limited root system and is more
susceptible to stress and disease. Although watering frequency depends
on the type of grass, soil, and weather, most will need at least
an inch to inch and a half every week. You are trying to moisten
the top three to four inches of soil which covers the root zone.
