Dog Days of Summer
As we survive August, we are often reminded of just how harsh Mother Nature really can be from time to time. In truth, we live in a very unique, and very difficult climate to grow grass in year round. The winters make it impossible to allow heat loving grasses to survive, while the summers often get too hot for the cooler season grasses. It’s a catch-22 that there’s no easy way out of.
We have put up a new section of our website that explores this issue in more depth. We’d urge you to take a look and follow those few pages by clicking on the link below. If you do not have the time or interest to do this, please take this one quick lesson away. Keep the mower height higher than 3 inches! If there’s one simple constant that we see this time of year, it is that the higher the lawn is mowed, the better it looks. Sure a close cropped fairway sounds nice in theory, but it causes way too much stress on the grass and the result is far, far less that you would be hoping for.
