Weather will become hot and dry as we move into the summer months. Lawns will start to show signs of stress and browning due to heat, disease or possibly insect activity. If browning occurs in the lawn around the same time, odds are it is due to heat stress or disease coming out in the lawn. If it starts in one area and progressively starts to look like it's getting worse, give us a call and we can come take a look. In terms of mowing, make sure you are mowing @ 3 1/2' and washing out the mower deck. The lawn is best mowed when the temperatures are cooler during the day. It will not be growing as fast during hot conditions. Mowing higher helps to retain moisture, encourages deep root growth, leaves more grass blades for photosynthesis and deters insects, disease and weeds. Take a ruler and measure the length of the blade after a cut. Don't trust the setting on your mower. Be aware that any edging along driveways and sidewalks will cause weeds, so if you choose to edge, be sure you are
