Hello Friends,

       The hot, humid summers in our area takes its toll on your lawn especially if you are unable to keep it irrigated. We might have had good intentions of keeping the lawn nice through the season, but time often runs short, or the heat is too much to deal with. The good news is that September is here, and Now through Mid-October is the best time to renovate your lawn. This may just include over-seeding and fertilizing, but sometimes other steps are needed to get the best results. Dethatching and/or aerating are additional steps to help improve the soil structure and get the seed and nutrients into the soil better. Fall is a great time to remove weeds and dying warm season grasses and re-seed with cool season grass seed. The grass seed will germinate, fill in better through Fall (choking out some of the weeds), and develop a good root system that will be ready for a good start early next spring. We offer grass seed, fertilizer and all you need for DIY Lawn Renovation. View our lawn articles in the Seasonal Articles section for information and tips. We can also do Fall Lawn Renovation services for you. Call us at 636-239-6729 to learn more about these services.

      Now is a good time to plant new Fall Vegetable Crops and Fall Flower Gardens! Visit us and browse all our departments for fall planting and decorating plants and items. Check out the Fall Plants and Items Photo Gallery to see some of the great items and plants that are available. 

Keep Growing,

Scott
