Your lawn needs 1 to 1-1/2 (3-4cm)" of water weekly. Mother Nature provides water, but she sometimes needs help. To determine the need for supplemental water, look for these telltale signs of oncoming drought stress:
Grass clippings should be left on the lawn when mowing. "Grass-cycling" is a natural and environmentally beneficial practice. Grass clippings are about 90 percent water by weight. Because they are high in protein, they should be left on the lawn to decompose and add nutrients to the soil. Grasscycling reduces waste and conserves landfill space. Removing lawn clippings is only necessary if they are long and will smother the lawn.
One major reason is that you're hiring an expert who can diagnose problems. We can tell you whether the issue on your lawn is a disease, an insect, or simply a result of lack of water. Diagnosing these types of issues can be challenging for you, the homeowner, to do on your own. In addition, when you hire Weed Man, you're buying guaranteed results,, and that's not always the case when you're purchasing DIY products off the shelf. We can offer our customers this type of commitment because we know we're applying the right amount of the right products at the right time, and do-it-yourselfers can't be sure of that. We'll keep coming out until the lawn meets your satisfaction. Plus, putting down the right product at the right rate and at the right time is especially important for many lawn problems, including crabgrass, and in some areas of the country, you may have to apply a herbicide twice to get control. We'll make sure that happens.
We have specific tasks we are doing during each visit to your property. Our equipment is calibrated to provide the proper rate, our vehicle is fully loaded for our day’s work, and we are well organized, resulting in a more efficient use of our time. We will be many times more efficient than the average homeowner because of the above (not to mention the fact that we do this every day!). When we are out on the lawn, we inspect the turf for potentially damaging insects, weeds, or diseases. We also note your cultural practices and leave information for your review. In addition to the inspections completed upon each visit, depending on location, a free mid-summer inspection is completed with a written report left for review by the homeowner. The value you are receiving is in the results and information. Satisfaction is guaranteed – and, hopefully, through good communication up front, a realistic expectation of the results has been presented to you
Proper watering and mowing will have a significant impact on your lawn. You will need to mow at least once a week during growth periods. When mowing, sharp mower blades are extremely important. Rusty or dull blades rip the grass instead of performing a smooth, clean cut, creating opportunities for lawn disease to set in. As for irrigation, you don't want to overwater, as that will set the grass up for disease problems as well. At the same time, underwatering places stress on the turf and creates opportunities for weeds to grow. Be sure that your sprinkler system covers the lawn well and irrigates deeply to encourage deep root growth and make the turf less susceptible to drought. Lastly, as your landscape develops, keep an eye on trees and shrubs and make sure they remain properly pruned or thinned to allow sufficient light to reach the lawn.
Your lawn should be mowed regularly at the proper height for your grass type. This means that your lawn may require mowing more than once a week during peak growth and only once every two weeks during periods of slow growth. Since the root system of a grass plant grows proportionally to the above-ground parts of the plant, a longer cutting height results in a stronger, deeper root system.
