Take Back Your Lawn Season!
As you gaze out your window or sit on your patio, it's a great feeling to see it a bright green at the end of August. But is it the right green?
Turf grass is not the only thing thriving out there: the weeds are jsut as happy with these conditions. After a hot dry summer, you typically see browning lawns with big, green patches of weeds prompting you to to take action. This year, the weeds are disguised amongst the happy lawn.
Take a walk and a close look: now is the ideal time to strike out the weeds and still have time to seed and establish any thin areas. This year, I am tackling the tough Nimblewill in my lawn with Tenacity, a tough killer that won't kill desirable grass. I am also learning a few things along the way about using it effectively.
As a result, we are declaring this "Take Back Your Lawn" Season! Come in and let's talk weeds: Bring your samples and questions, we'll share what we've been learning, and we'll help you make a plan for weeding, seeding, fertilizing, or wahtever you need.
