Answer: Perfect lawns require lots of work. As well as treating the lawn you will need to scarify regularly. Leaving the grass a bit longer say 1.5" or 35 - 40 mm minimum will also help no end.

Determine if the cause is shade, poor drainage or poor nutrition. Undo the cause. (i.e. cut down the trees, improve the drainage and fertilize. See similar questions...

It is therefore important that you consider a two-pronged attack based around a programme of moss controllers and aeration. The first eradicated the existing moss grwoth; the second helps prevent its immediate return. See similar questions...

A - Moss in a lawn is usually a cultural problem. Conditions such as too much shade, poor fertility, thatch build-up, soil compaction, and over-watering contribute to moss growth. The first step is to evaluate and correct any of these conditions. If chemical treatment is necessary for severe moss infestation, rake out as much moss as possible and apply a moss control product containing ferrous sulfate. Chemical control will be temporary unless underlying cultural conditions are corrected. See similar questions...

Could be one of several factors such as low pH, lack of fertility, compacted soil / poor drainage or too much shade. See one of Merrifield Garden Center's plant specialists for guidance. See similar questions...

In the meantime, you can try the Kyoto spores available at many nurseries. You can get a tree that already has moss on it (hopefully, locally grown). You can try transplanting moss from other locations, such as a damp and shady spot on the other side of your house. You can set your pots near a bonsai that has moss growing on it and hope that the wind will carry viable spores to your trees. See similar questions...

If the moss build-up is slight, you can leave it. If it is severe, you can apply a solution of zinc sulphate mixed with hot water. Do not pressure wash the roof. See similar questions...

Regular fertilization helps to maintain good lawns. In western Washington, apply N-P-K fertilizers in a 3-1-2 ratio (3 Nitrogen - 1 phosphorous - 2 potassium.) Examples of fertilizers in this ratio would be 21-7-14 or 15-5-10. Sulfur enhances color and helps control some lawn disease problems. See similar questions...

Answer: A lawn crypt is a subsurface burial container installed in multiple units that has a system for drainage and moisture control. Lawn crypts may only be sold in dedicated lawn crypt gardens. See similar questions...

Answer: It depends on the type of lawn you have. Dethatching is done with either a machine rented from a rental shop or with specialized rakes that give the user a very good workout! Dethatching is done to remove excessive build up of plant materials that lies just beneath or just on top of the soil. The former are rhizomes and the later stolons. Stolons are stems that "creep" on top of the soil and rhizomes are underground stems. See similar questions...

Answer: To control weeds, you can over-seed your lawn twice a year (early spring & early fall) to help prevent weed growth. Mowing your lawn high (4-inches or more) shades out most weed seeds and prevents them from germinating, while also slowing growth (for less frequent mowing) and strengthening the immune system of the grass. Keeping your grass unstressed by providing proper light, water, and nutrients will produce a crop of very thick turf. See similar questions...

Answer: We follow City Code on this issue. The Parks and Recreation Department takes calls from concerned individuals about grass that is over 1' tall or weeds that are on a property that has not been properly maintained. A certified letter is sent to both the property owner and the occupant. A timeline is given for the situation to be remedied. If it is not, the Parks staff or a private contractor mows the area and the property owner is billed accordingly. Refer to City Code link http://city. See similar questions...

Moss is not fungus. Moss is the green spongy stuff that grows on the south side of trees and on the ground in shaded, damp areas. And, in some areas it also grows on roof membranes and shingles. Mosses reproduce via airborne spores. If a roof is covered with moist organic matter or soil, and if there are minerals and fixed nitrogen present in the dirt on the roof, mosses can grow from the spores that are carried there.

Horsetail control is difficult. The best management for it in lawn is constant mowing that keeps the plants down. This does leave the problem of the altered texture in the lawn where the horsetails come up, but short mowing will reduce that. In theory, if the plants are constantly mowed, they weaken. They are, however, long-lived and persistent no matter what measures are taken. There are no chemicals registered to control these weeds in a lawn. See similar questions...

Answer: Because of our climate in Cochise County we can grow two general classes of turf. They are warm season and cool season grasses. Warm season grasses are those that flourish during spring and summer and then go dormant (brown) in the fall and winter.
