Howdy, Dallas! As weed season winds down (or does it?), DFW yards are showing off more greenery. Dive into this month’s update from our Dallas branch manager, Matt Borden, to catch up on the latest happenings in your area!
Lawn
Lawns are thriving at the moment! With our second round of applications underway, vibrant color is beginning to emerge. Despite the abundance of weeds earlier this year, they’re now gradually receding as we near the end of weed season.
Fertilizing your yard is like feeding it a nutritious meal. Much like how essential nutrients support growth, our carefully crafted formula not only promotes lush greenery but also cultivates resilient turf capable of warding off weeds, diseases, and pests.
Texas turf, renowned for its compactness, presents a challenge for optimal growth. The remedy? Liquid aeration. By relieving compaction, this process opens vital pathways for air, water, and nutrients to nourish the roots, fostering healthy and vibrant turf.
Experience the magic of topdressing for a lush, thriving lawn! Our organic blend enriches your soil with vital nutrients, igniting microbial activity for optimal growth. The result? Deeper, denser roots and faster-growing turf, ensuring your lawn reaches its full potential!
Landscape
This month, trees and shrubs are in full bloom, showcasing lush foliage. However, our attention is drawn to the emergence of Crepe Myrtle scale and mealybugs, posing a concern. To address this issue, we’re employing our systemic insecticide to effectively combat these pests and safeguard the health of your plants.
Unlock the secret to a thriving landscape: prune out dead wood! This essential step not only stimulates new growth but also elevates the beauty of your spring plants. Dive into our comprehensive pruning guide to discover the best techniques for a picture-perfect garden!
Optimize your landscape’s hydration by assessing your irrigation system’s performance. Ensure it’s delivering water precisely where your plants need it most. For trees, water should be dispersed at the edge of the dripline.
