July maintenance tips & tricks

Can you believe that it is July already?! Neither can we, but here are some July tips from the pros to keep your yard looking great!

• Raise the level of the mower blades, to remove no more than one-third.
• Check on how sharp the blades are on the mower.
• Perennials should be deadheaded to encourage a second growth.
• Spot spraying of broadleaf weed control.
• Lawn should be allowed to go dormant during the dry season of summer, unless you are willing to keep the lawn WELL watered during the entire dry season. The lawn will come back to life after some good rains.
