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.

When is the best time to renovate your lawn?

The best time to renovate your lawn is NOW!  Seeding now while the temperatures are still warm will ensure the best possible germination.  As soil temps. cool so do percentages of germination.  But remember, you must keep the seed bed moist at all times and not allow it to dry out.  Once the seed pod breaks open, the plant must have consistent water to continue it's germination cycle.  It is also important to remember to water frequently after watering up until and in some cases past dormancy.  We recommend watering 2-3 times per day during the germination cycle (approx. 2 weeks for fescue) and every day thereafter until the plant is completely established.  Aeration is also very important to lawns this year to help open up the soil for oxygen, water and nutrients after the exceptional drought.
