🔅 Question: How’s your lawn mower height?

We all would love for our lawns to look like the 12th green at Augusta National, but we live in Boise! 🤣 This semi-arid climate, where we only get about 12” of precipitation per year is a little different than Georgia. 😉 In order to conserve water, we need to mow taller.

❇️ Set those mowers to the highest setting (or ask your mowing service to do so). The taller your lawn is mowed, the more robust the root system underneath, requiring less water and fertilizer to keep it nice and green.
❇️ Mulching your grass clippings back into your lawn is also advisable, especially if your lawn is mowed on a regular basis. Ideally, mowing every 5 days will produce a better looking lawn, but a weekly mowing is definitely sufficient.
❇️ Alternating mowing directions is ideal so your lawn will not tend to grow in one direction. This also reduces compaction from the mower wheels. East to west one week, north to south the next, and on each diagonal are great ways to change up the direction.

It’s August and it’s been HOT! 🥵🥵 How’s the lawn looking? Here are some watering tips for our Treasure Valley climate to help you finish the summer season:

💦If you notice browning in your lawn, push a screwdriver into the area to determine if it’s a watering problem versus an insect problem. If the screwdriver does not easily pe*****te 3-4 inches deep, then you indeed have a dry spot where the sprinkler must be skipping. Check your sprinklers to make sure they are thoroughly covering the area.
💦Apply 1 to 1 1/2 inches of water to your lawn per week. To measure how long it takes your sprinkler to apply 1 inch of water, place an empty can, jar, or rain gauge in its path and note the time it takes to accumulate 1 inch.
💦Water your lawn as few times as possible during the week, remembering your goal of a cumulative 1-1.5 inches weekly. Daily watering keeps the surface of the soil moist, but does not allow for water to seep deep into the soil. This promotes a shallow root system in your turf, which leaves it vulnerable to disease, and allows for germination of surface w**d seeds. Ideally, deep watering just 2-3 times per week will promote a healthy, deeply rooted lawn.

Your lawn’s water needs will decrease as the weather cools in the fall, so setting your sprinklers accordingly will not only benefit your lawn, but also our precious water resources. And be sure to take time to enjoy that beautiful lawn! 😃

Any of these rascals popping up in your lawn?

Did you know that mowing and fertilizing properly will create turf that will virtually control w**ds on its own? Studies show that by mowing bluegrass TALL, the turf will shade the soil and prevent w**ds from germinating. Some w**d control products may be necessary depending on the overall health of of your lawn, and some w**ds can only be controlled at certain times of the year. We can help eliminate w**ds in your lawn, AND boost the health of your turf all at the same time!

It was an unusually harsh winter in the Treasure Valley and some of your lawns may be showing signs of "snow mold." Not to worry, though. These are simply areas where the snow compressed the grass and flattened it to the ground more than the surrounding area. Just gently go over those areas with a leaf rake to stand the blades back up. This will allow the area more optimal drying and let the new growth begin to emerge unobstructed.
