Month-to-month Tips

Summer:
Unbalanced mowing and trimming brings about more issues on lawns than any other routine maintenance practice.
The majority of lawns are cut way too short, hardly ever enough, and/or with a dull mower blade. Mow
frequently enough so they won't remove a lot more than 1/3 of the leaf blade at a single mowing.
Avoid mowing during midday when temperatures are above 90 degrees and the when the
soil is dry up. The mower blades must be sharp and may even need sharpening four to six
times a year. A clear, crisp blade produces a solution healthier cut, leaving a far more attractive
lawn.

December-January
Using the seasons lower temperature’s your lawn will be slower to produce improvements. With our
lack of rainfall we can’t blame the leaching of nutrients from the soil on the weather, so
our fertilizing job that keeps our lawns healthy and green for the winter should still be in
tact somewhat. I have had some calls about yellowing lawns, it's really a lack of nutrients,
be patient and your lawn will yet again come back to it’s traditional green color as the
temperature heats up.
