With the record heat this year, lawns have been under severe stress. Damage to many lawns is already becoming very evident. Many people look at their lawns and think the cause is drought, but it's really the death and destruction caused by a plethora of different fungi during the high heat and humidity. Many grass species can recover from dry periods after going dormant, but fungi can outright kill turfgrass before people even realize what's happening. Because of this, you need to plan on fall over-seeding, beginning the last week of August (if we get early rains) or early September.

Need to control weeds at the same time? That's an issue with fall seeding. So, with the rain we've had recently, it would be a good time to get broadleaf weed control down making sure you meet the required 3 to 4 week wait period after the application to do a September over-seeding. Any questions give us a call!

Chamaecyparis pisifera filifera 'Gold Mops'

Gold Mops Cypress are looking great! They may not be for everyone, but not much can surpass this plant when it comes to evergreen contrast! Great for residential foundation plantings, entry ways, conifer gardens and commercial sites. Slowly growing 3' high x 4' wide it needs regular watering during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system and soil that is well-drained. Use Roots or M-Roots at planting and fertilize in early in spring. It doesn't need regular pruning but can be sheared lightly to shape in spring - summer.
