Mowing Schedule for the Week of July 4th

Next week our office will be closed on Friday, July 3 for the July 4 weekend. This means that our weekly mowing routes will be condensed to a four day schedule for that week.

All mowing will be completed by Thursday, July 2. All of our customers can expect to have their lawns mowed on either:

1. Your regular mow day
2. The day BEFORE your regular mow day

For example: If your mow day is usually Tuesday, your yard will either be mowed on Monday or Tuesday.

Customers with concerns or specific requests should contact our office as soon as possible.

Thanks!

Tips for Keeping your Grass Green

Who wants a yard full of brittle yellow grass? No one!

It hurts your feet and (most importantly) it makes your home look less attractive. Our staff has put together a list of helpful tips for keeping your grass green, the way it should be:

1. The length and frequency at which grass is cut is a crucial factor in determining whether or not you will have healthy looking grass. It is recommended to keep the grass cut at around 3 inches in length. Shorter grass is more difficult to maintain as it needs more water and is more susceptible to weeds.

2. We recommend watering your grass once a week. Keep in mind that watering is more effective if it is done “deeply and infrequently”. Generally, a lawn needs about an inch of water per week. It is better to soak the lawn once rather than in small increments throughout the week.

3. Finally, a simple way to assure your grass looks its best is to fertilize regularly. If you are not currently signed up for one of our fertilize programs, it is never too late! Our next round of fertilizer is due to begin towards the end of June.
