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.

Our trained applicator will notify you if your lawn shows signs of disease. He'll also advise you on the best treatment. Because lawn diseases are unpredictable and treatments are so variable, there is no guarantee of results. Application of lawn

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Warm season grasses include bermuda, buffalo grass, grama grass, sideoats, St. Augustine and zoysiagrass.

Answer: For domestic lawn seed, visit our site www.thegrassroute.co.uk. For general use, the 'Family Lawn' will provide a hard wearing attractive lawn. Answer: Meadow buttercup tends to develop a strong rooting system which varies in depth according to soil type and structure. Unlike the creeping buttercup, Meadow buttercup confines its roots to each individual plant and reproduces new plants through dispersal of seed.

Gophers are a very common rodent found in most areas of North America. They live exclusively underground where they can destroy plants by consuming the roots or pulling the whole plant down into their burrows. The most effective method of removing gophers is through trapping. Specialized traps are available at most hardware stores. Also available are poisoned baits, which are placed within the gopher burrow, though it is often difficult to find a bait attractive to your particular gopher.

First we must realize that a dry, dingy colored lawn as a result of drought conditions does not mean that the lawn is dying. Cool season lawn grasses simply go dormant during very stressful hot conditions. If a soil test has not been done in several years, this is a good place to start. By following the soil lab's recommendations in the spring you will know how much lime to add for optimal growing conditions.

This fungal disease occurs in cool, moist regions and is particularly common in western Washington. The disease develops rapidly during periods of high moisture and cool temperatures; fall through spring. Fescue and perennial rye grasses are most commonly affected, as can other grass types. Symptoms will be water-soaked, darkened irregular patches from 2 - 24 inches in diameter. They gradually become bleached or tan-colored.

This is one of the notable trees of San Diego. It's a Moreton Bay Fig (Ficus macrophylla, an Australian native), which was probably planted in about 1914 during the preparations for the exposition for which Balboa Park was first developed. While many people would like to attribute its planting to Kate Sessions, San Diego's pioneer horticulturist and street tree planter, there is no documentation to verify this claim.

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.

Sometimes after an application in the summer months, the yard will get a little "tip-burn". The salts in the fertilizer may slightly burn the grass. This condition is temporary. Please follow the listed watering instructions to aid in the recovery of a lush green lawn. In the fall and winter, your Bermuda or Zoysia areas may turn yellow to yellow-brown after this application. This is normal for this time of year. The yard is going dormant and may not turn green again after this application.

Excessively loud noise, such as that from a lawn mower, power tools, or a rock concert can cause damage to the inner ear and result in a permanent hearing loss. Wearing hearing protection helps prevent a noise induced hearing loss by reducing the intensity of the sound that travels through the ear.

No. When people use their lawns for parking, they compact the soil, damage the landscaping, and detract from the visual appearance of their property and the neighborhood. Furthermore, when people park on the lawn, oils and fluids from their vehicles can seep into the ground and create a potential environmental problem. All vehicles must be parked on a permanent paved surface such as asphalt, Portland Cement or other approved stabilized permanent surface.

That depends on the time of year. Assuming no rain falls, lawns should be watered about every 10 days in the winter and early spring months, once a week during spring and fall, and every 3 to 5 days during the summer. The best way to water is on demand. When the grass blades start folding up and change color to a grayish green, its time to water again. Apply about 3/4 inch of water every time you irrigate, and apply the water in the morning hours.

Residents will be responsible for their own lawns, extending either 75 ft. out from their homes, or to the midpoint between their home and the next residence. All common areas will be the responsibility of American Eagle.
