Make sure to keep your foundation watered this summer and avoid costly foundation repair bills. Walk the perimeter and look for gaps between the concrete and dirt, if you see any space then you need to soak the ground around your home.

The concept of combining an herbicide and a fertilizer may be good in theory, but may not work in every situation. Several potential problems exist when using this approach.

One problem is that the timing for herbicide application and fertilizer application are usually not in sync.

Mid March to Mid April

Start monitoring your lawn to know when to apply your spring fertilizer. Remember we don’t want to apply fertilizer until the lawn is at least 50% green.

Stay on schedule.

Each of the steps we have shared has to be done at the right time for best results. Otherwise, it's wasted effort.

** Overseed too late and the seedlings will be too tender to survive.

** Fertilize too early and the grass will send up tender blades that will get hammered by the cold.

** Fertilize too late and the grass roots won't be able to absorb all those nutrients you're feeding them.

** Thinking about aerating in the spring because you can't get around to it this fall? Don't bother. Spring aeration just makes it easier for w**d seeds to get established.

If sticking to the schedule during the fall is proving too difficult, we can handle the jobs that aren't getting done.

Call us today to schedule an appointment.

We will establish a schedule to keep your lawn beautiful through the fall and winter and ready for spring months!

Spread seed.

Having a dense lawn reduces w**ds. Seeding over existing grass not only fills in thin spots and bare patches, it allows you to introduce resilient, drought-tolerant grasses.

Fall is the best time to overseed because the ground is still warm, moisture is more plentiful, nights are cool, and the sun is not as hot during the day.

But even then, you can't simply broadcast seeds over an established lawn and expect them to take hold. They need to be in full contact with the soil, kept moist until they germinate, and be well enough established before it gets too cold.
