To Our Valued Customers:
Spring Greetings from Magnolia Lawn!
A few timely tips:
Spring is here and with it has come pleasant weather, beautiful flowers,
green grass, barbecues, weeds and bugs. Every season has its ups and downs, and spring
is no exception. We hope the rest of the spring and summer will be as close to normal as
possible in terms of rainfall to keep things healthy.
A few things to remember this spring
and summer:
WATERING: In the absence of normal rainfall,
provide your lawn and ornamentals with 1-2” of
water per spot per week. This usually amounts to one-two hours of watering per spot. Remember
to water during nighttime or early morning hours to avoid disease development.
MOWING: Continue mowing fescue at 2-2.5” once per week. Bermudagrass should be mowed
at about 1” to 1.5”, ideally once every five days. More frequent mowing on
bermuda helps avoid that “scalped” look after mowing.
BROWN AREAS: Occasionally,
brown areas will appear in lawns in the summer even if they are watered. These spots
are sometimes caused by fungi and can usually be controlled under your Magnolia lawn program.
If these areas appear, call us and we will inspect your lawn, take the appropriate control
measures, and advise you on what you can do to help.
CORE AERATION: We will advise you this summer on the aeration needs of your lawn. Due to the extremely
compacted nature of our soils, we recommend aeration annually. We offer this service
as an option to our customers and usually aerate bermuda and zoysia lawns in hot weather
and fescue lawns in the fall. Let us know if we can help.
ORNAMENTALS: Japanese
Beetles attack in early summer and have HUGE appetites. They love to eat crepe myrtles,
roses, cherries, and lots of other plants we love, so be on the lookout for bronze-green
beetles on your plants. We can control these pests under our ornamental program, but
repeat applications are necessary.
FREE SERVICE VISITS: As always, we are here to help.
