Irrigation Installation, Service & Repairs
We are performing the Sprinkler System Checks & Repair services. You should have your irrigation set to run 4-5 days per week, 10 minutes on pop-up zones and 20-25 minutes on rotating zones. Give us a call if you are ready to get on the schedule. If you are interested in having an irrigation system installed, please give the office a call at 913-829-6135.

Turf Maintenance
We are applying Round 5 of our 7 Round Turf Program. Round 5 is a liquid application targeting nutsedge, broadleaf, and grassy weeds in the lawn. Turf Managers will also assess lawns at this time to determine if and what is needed as far as a Fall Lawn Renovation. Aeration, verticutting and overseeding being the common items to be done in order to keep the lawn full and thick. If you are interested in starting your personalized turf health plan please give us a call.

Plant Health Care
We are currently applying Round 3 of our plant insecticide program for the 2017 season. Round 3 is a treatment to control primarily spider mites on spruce, junipers and burning bush. Please call to schedule a consultation with one of our certified Arborist today.

Mowing Service
The mowing season has begun and will run weekly from now until the end of October. Due to the rainy weather they may be behind a day or two but will work weekends to catch up. If you are interested in the weekly mowing service, please contact the office.

Failure To Thrive

There are many reasons turf does not thrive in the conditions that we expect them to.  In the decision to renovate and to what extent to do so, here are some of the top reasons your turf may not be succeeding.

  1. Mowing too low
  2. Over or under-irrigation
  3. poor or compacted soil from intial construction practice
  4. Thatch accumulation
  5. Excessively wet, dry or shaded areas
  6. Disease and insect stresses
  7. Too much competition from crabgrass and other weeds
  8. Improper or poor quality grass species used at point of installation or species of grasses are out of balance
  9. Improper soil pH, causing nutrient defeciencies

When deciding to complete your fall renovation this year, look to some of these problems and make next year a great year for your turf!

Remember the best time to complete fall renovations is starting NOW!!!  Mid-August through Mid-September
