Do your trees or shrubs have sticky, drippy leaves?
You likely have an aphid infestation!

The best and easiest way to treat this problem is to prevent aphids in the first place! A winter soil injection will provide year-long prevention to any trees that are treated.

Providing Shasta County with Lawn Fertilization, W**d Control Services, and more!

Fall is here! and that means winter is just around the corner. While most people stop thinking about their lawns as the weather cools down, preparing your lawn for winter (winterizing) is one of the most important fertilizer applications of the year.

For my "Winterizing" program I use a different fertilizer than normal. This fertilizer is packed with macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients to help your lawn stay strong and healthy over the winter.

Get signed up for the last service of the year today!

2023 services will start in late winter. The first service of the year, similar to the last one, is one of the most important!

Having trouble keeping your lawn green in the heat of the summer?

It’s no secret that our lawns have trouble staying beautiful during the summer. With drought bringing watering restrictions and our 100+ temps keeping our cool season lawns much warmer than ideal, it’s hard to keep up. This is why my lawn programs focus on building root health and strength. Stronger and healthier roots lead to better drought and heat resistance.

My Basic Turf Program includes 7 yearly applications consisting of specifically timed fertilizer, w**d control and soil treatments and starts at just $45 per application. Additional treatments such as fungicides and insecticides are available as needed or for a discount in the Deluxe Turf Program. Give me a call and I’d be more than happy to give you a free quote!

Here are some things YOU can do to help your lawn increase its drought resistance and overall health:
• Make sure your lawn gets the nutrition it needs, especially before the summer, or call someone who can help (Me)
• Check your sprinklers to make sure they are working and are providing adequate coverage
• Make sure your lawn is actually dry before adding more water (excessive watering can lead to fungus and disease)
• Water every other day to help avoid fungus and disease
• Mow cool season grasses high (3-4” in height), especially during summer
• Sharpen your mower blade
• Be patient, cool season lawns will come back and look beautiful after the heat of the summer. (Cool season grasses thrive in the spring and fall)

Will Fertilizer Burn Your Lawn!?

A frequent misconception in the landscape industry is about fertilizing grass in the summer. Many people believe putting down fertilizer when it’s hot is sure to burn your lawn. While there may be some truth to this thought, trusting your lawn to a professional (or knowing what you’re doing) is highly unlikely to result in a burnt lawn. Considering grass type, weather conditions, and type of fertilizer is an important part of a good turf program. Since most lawns in the Sacramento Valley consist of Tall Fescue grass, this post will apply mostly to this grass type and similar cool-season grass types.

The reason a lawn may burn would be from putting down excessive amounts of fertilizer that is high in nitrogen and has quick-release action. These fertilizers are useful in the spring and fall to bring strength and a beautiful pop of green. But since they are instantly activated by water, these fertilizers can put large amounts of stress on the grass when it is already stressed by the heat in the summer. The salts in the fertilizer pull moisture out of the plant, depriving it of its much-needed water.

So how do you provide nutrients to the grass in the heat of the summer without damaging the lawn? Professional turf companies (like us) will specifically tailor a program of the right fertilizers (and soil treatments) for every season. During these hot summer months, I'll use a slow-release fertilizer that will feed the lawn slowly over weeks or even months, preventing any kinds of burns or excessive stress, while providing nutrients that the grass still needs during the summer to help keep it healthy. Additionally, at Byerly Turf Management, as part of my turf program I add a soil treatment every other service throughout the year that will help strengthen and build the grass roots, which in turn will reduce the amount of water, fertilizers, and pesticides needed. This is all part of a specifically designed program to keep your lawn healthy, while not only surviving, but thriving though the stress of the hot summer!

Hello everyone thank you for Checking out my business! I would like to start sharing some information on this page about services I offer, products I use, and general lawn tips for the Sacramento valley.

4 times yearly during my 7 application Turf Management program I apply a soil treatment containing beneficial bacteria, beneficial fungi, humic and fulvic acids, microbes, kelp, and more. Sometimes called a probiotic tea for your soil, I find this to be an extremely effective way to help soil health, root health, and strengthen your lawn to make it through our very hot summers.

I would like to specifically talk about the beneficial fungi in this “probiotic tea” called Mycorrhizae (my-core-eye-zuh), more on the rest of the soil treatment another time. Mycorrhizae is a beneficial fungus that attaches to the roots of a plant, in this case your grass roots. The fungus forms a mutually beneficial relationship with said roots. The mycorrhizal fungi are made up of root-like structures and possess a network of mycelium external to the roots that extend into the soil. This mycelium absorbs nutrients and translocates them back to the host plant. As a result, there is an increase in the absorption surface area of the roots. (See picture down below)

In a nutshell, Mycorrhizae helps extend the roots all throughout the soil, allowing the grass to develop much stronger roots, be able to uptake nutrients much more efficiently, and increase tolerance to drought and high temperatures. As a result, use of fertilizer, water, and pesticides can be reduced. Some say a 50-75% reduction can be made for all three.

Because of our drought I made it my goal to create a Turf Management program that would not only keep your lawn looking beautiful, but also helps reduce watering needs. Using less fertilizer and pesticides is also a huge plus.
