Turf
Late October is the
time for a pre-emergent application on all Bermuda lawns to help prevent
unsightly winter annual weeds such as henbit and poa annua.
(Referral to turf chemical
applicator.)
Fall is the time to
aerate and overseed Fescue turf. Fall will bring a reduction in the
number of visits you receive, as the Bermuda grass growth will begin to
slow down with the cooler temperatures.
Landscaping
Fall is the ideal time
to evaluate and plan for your landscaping needs. Planting trees and
shrubs now enable them time to develop roots before facing the heat and
drought of next summer.
Now is the time to
replace summer annuals with winter annuals such as pansies, ornamental
kale, etc…
Watering
Although the
temperatures will be dropping, turf, trees and shrubs will still require
adequate watering to thrive. One inch of water per week is the ideal. We
recommend supplemental watering anytime we have 10 days without rain.
Remember to follow the mandatory state-wide watering guidelines and make
sure to reset your irrigation systems as required.
Please give us a call so we can schedule your appointment as soon as
possible.
