Why Fertilize the Lawn? Your soil supplies some of the nutrients that turfgrass
needs but most soils are not able to provide all of them during the entire
growing season. A healthy and actively-growing lawn uses a great deal of
energy. Fertilizer helps your lawn stay healthy by:
Pre-emergent’s,
such as those commonly used to prevent crabgrass, are weed killers which
must be applied before the weeds germinate. They are ineffective if the
weeds are already actively growing. Pre-emergent weed killers are often
mixed with fertilizer and are designed to be spread in early spring.
Crabgrass normally germinates when the ground temperature reaches 60° F -
the ground temperature at which dogwood trees start to bud and forsythias
begin blooming.
We have a number of different packages to choose
from depending on your soil and turfgrass conditions. We also offer grub control which helps to get rid of moles.
Moles are increasingly becoming a problem in Kansas
City lawns. Once moles enter the lawn they can completely destroy
the turf grass which results in costly repairs.
Eliminating grub worms can help control the desire
for moles to enter the lawn by taking away one of their major food
sources.
Grubs
feed on the tender roots of grass which kills the plant from the ground
up.
Grubs
are the beginning stage of beetles, such as the
Japanese beetle. When the beetles begin to reproduce the female lays her
eggs in the soil of the lawn.
One
female can lay between 40 - 60 eggs over a period of weeks. When the eggs
hatch, the young grubs begin to feed. Each grub is about 1" long when
fully grown and lies in a curled “C” position.
In
late autumn, the grubs dig down 4" to 8" into the soil and remain inactive
all winter. The grub spends about 10 months of the year in the soil in the
larval stage.
Then
in late summer grubs then begin to feed and cause damage to the lawn.
Oftentimes, grubs go unnoticed because they live beneath the surface and
are only discovered when the signs of damage begin to be seen. Damage
appears as brown, dry, and brittle patches of grass.
This
is why grub control is put down in late may/early June every year. The Lawn Guy offers a grub control treatment that will attack the grubs when they are most vulnerable and before they can cause damage to your lawn. The treatment targets grubs and does not harm other beneficial insects that live in your soil. |
