TALK OF THE MONTH:
Watering the lawn:
Established landscape will typically require one inch of water a week, including rainfall. Hotter temperatures mean moisture evaporates quickly, before it has a chance to do your lawn and plants any good. Mitigate this and save on your bill by watering in the morning (preferred - before about 9am) or evenings (after 6pm), when it’s cooler and the sun is less direct.
If you water only once a day, watering is best performed in the early hours of the day.
It’s better to give your lawn a deep watering a few times a week than dust it with moisture every day.
Irrigation system:
For you flower beds, drip irrigation is your friend in the Summer! It prevents disease by minimizing water contact with the leaves, stems, and fruit of plants. Allows the rows between plants to remain dry, improving access and reducing weed growth.
For you lawn, not only will it save you time and effort, but it can help you automate and maintain a healthy, vibrant landscape. Irrigation systems are better for covering larger areas evenly.
Let us know if you are looking to have an irrigation system installed, we will be happy to give you a quote.
Weeds!!!!
High temperatures, humidity and lots of rain are 'weeds paradise'. Make sure to contact your favorite Tuf Care Company (chemical company) they will take care of the weeds in your lawn. Contact us if you need a referral.
If we take care of your lawn care, our crews spot-spray weeds in non-flowering beds during each service (as long as it has not rained just before or during service). Unfortunatly, rain can wash away or dilute the product and make it less effective. The crews do their best to address the weeds as much as possible. It is a hard Summer battle with our GA climate!
Mulch and pine straw help prevent erosion, but also prevent weeds from growing too fast.
