Month-to-Month Recommendations for SOD Lawn

Summer:

Poor mowing leads to more problems on lawns than every other maintenance apply. Most lawns are mowed short, rarely enough, and/or with a dull mower blade. Mow frequently adequate so you don’t take away more than 1/3 of the leaf blade at a single mowing. Avoid mowing during midday when temperatures are above 90 degrees and the when the soil is dry. The mower blades has to be razor-sharp and may need sharpening 4 to 6 times a year. A sharp blade results in a cleaner healthier cut, leaving a more attractive lawn.

December to January

With the seasons lower temperature’s your lawn will be slow to make changes. With our lack of rainfall we can’t blame the leaching of nutrients from the soil on the weather, so our fertilizing job that keeps our lawns healthy and green for the winter should still be in tact somewhat. I have had some calls about yellowing lawns, it is just a lack of nutrients, be patient, remain calm and your lawn will just as before come back to its traditional green color as the temperature warms.
