Maintaining a Healthy Lawn
Do You Need to Aerate or Re-Sod?

The weather has certainly warmed up and this is a great time to have your lawn aerated to ensure water and nutrients make their way to the roots of your turf.

Besides allowing
your lawn's root system to bWhat a great lawn!reathe, aerating is great for areas that may be compacted due to heavy foot traffic or by overgrown thatch. Aerating is also effective for rejuvenating your lawn and helping to fill in bare spots. 

If you're thinking it may be time to replace your sod, it is vital to know exactly what is going in its place. Before Top Notch Pest Control technicians install fresh sod, they are trained to properly prepare the property for new sod to avoid repeat pest offenders, whereas many ordinary lawn care companies are not.

Watering is key to keeping your new sod healthy. Top Notch Pest Control technicians advise watering early in the morning, instead of overnight, which can produce a spongy fungus. Also, limit watering your lawn to twice
Do you have a healthy  Lawn? a week and use only half an inch to three-quarters of an inch of water per cycle.

When sod is ready to be mowed, keep mower blades sharp to create a clean, smooth cut; Frayed, brown edges are the result of dull mower blades. When trimming, it is best to only remove a third of the total grass blade.

The length of a blade of grass is directly proportionate to the length of the root; the longer the root system, the healthier your grass will be. This ensures plenty of opportunity for the grass to absorb sunlight and vitamins.

If you're unsure on whether your turf needs to be aerated or re-sodded, we're more than happy to assess your property and work with you to get and maintain a great-looking lawn! Give us a call to schedule an assessment or to add a service to your next service appointment!

Mosquito Season is Here!
Heavy Rains Create Breeding Ground   

Heavier than normal seasonal rains coupled with the warmer weather has created a bustling mosquito season that arrived about a month early this year!  While the cooler temps in the winter generally kill off most mosquitoes, eggs canMosquito Sucker survive while hiding in vegetation or inside houses - even after drying out! 

Hillsborough County Mosquito Control is also reporting higher numbers of mosquitoes in the area which usually peak much later in the
season.  Besides leaving their annoying red, itchy and bumpy calling card, if not treated, mosquitoes can spread disease to you, your employees, your family and even your pets!  Top Notch Pest Control technicians are skilled in ridding your property of current pests as well as potential bloodsuckers waiting to hatch.
