JULY

The dog days of summer are here. It is hot, hot, hot, and there is very little rain fall. You may see your lawn begin a period of summer dormancy during this period. When this happens grass visibly browns and stops growing. Be sure to water occasionally, even through dormancy to make sure of your lawn’s survival during this normal drought period.
We do not fertilize during July, as it will force grass to grow when should not. This can seriously damage the health of your lawn. We do offer a mid-summer broadleaf weed control application. Dormant grass means that weeds will be more visible at this time, and spot spraying is particularly effective.
