End of the Summer

I cannot believe Summer 2012 is over and we have SURVIVED the water restrictions! Please remember to continue to apply your 1.5 to 2 inches of water a week. Cycle watering (setting sprinklers to run back to back) is the best method for effective watering. Think about getting a 5 minute rain vs. a 30- 45 minute steady rain (I know those are hard to come by around here). The root system is able to soak up the water. Now you are able to get your 1.5 - 2 inches 2 days a week, instead of once a week.

Fall is the perfect time to over seed your Fescue lawn or over seed heavily shaded Bermuda areas. Here is the before and after of one of our customers lawns from last year.

 

Before/During:

Now this was a SEVERE case of not enough sunlight for Bermuda to grow. The lawn was pretty much gone! (Excuse the large white bucket in the middle of the picture)!

 

After:

WOW! Now, he is a wonderful customer and watered like he was suppose to and has stayed on our lawn care program for many years, but anyone can have results like this.

 

We love beautiful turf!

 

Warm Wishes,
