Yard watering is important in keeping our yards healthy. Our technicians have been noting dry spots at most of their accounts. Typically, we have the sprinklers reduced to once per week starting in December but for now, we are still recommending yard watering twice per week. Unless you have new landscaping, 1 watering per week will be perfect for the plants but the lawn has more of a watering need. When we are confident that 1 watering per week will maintain hydration in the lawn, we will let you know.

For those of you who mow your lawn, the summer was tough! Now that we are solidly in the month of December, it’s time to relax. Your lawn is now growing at half the rate it did during the summer months. The best thing you can do for your lawn is to stay off of it with the mower until it absolutely needs to be cut.Do’s
1. Mow your lawn every other week
3. Avoid stressed areas of your lawn
4. Possibly skip trimming the edges of the lawn.
5. Sharpen your blades
Don’ts
1. Mowing too frequently stresses your lawn
2. Mowing too short will not allow for proper photosynthesis
3. Mowing stressed areas slows down the healing process in your grass
4. Edges of the lawn are often weak due to being trimmed too close
5. Sharpen blades now and in July for clean cuts
