| HOT SUMMER DAYS HAVE ARRIVED |
| |
With the long, harsh, hot days of summer upon us, many lawns are beginning to show signs of drought and heat stress in the forms of brown patches throughout the lawn area. Obviously areas that are located in sunny spots will be most affected. Usually edges along pavement and areas where there may be shallow soil or ledge will brown out first, due to the inability for the soil to retain very much moisture at all.
Just remember that in most cases, providing the lawn is receiving some moisture, the turf is simply going dormant. Once the climate modifies and we receive some frequent rainfall, most lawns will return to full health as they were prior to the heat stress conditions. The summer application that is being applied right now is designed to slowly release nutrients into the soil at a very low rate in an effort to preserve the turfs health and allow the lawn to recover much more quickly under more moist conditions.
For those of you who are able to water your lawns, please refer to our "Turf Tips" page of this website and read our watering guidelines.

| FLEA AND TICK CONTROL APPLICATIONS |
| |
The second Flea and Tick Control application is scheduled to begin by early July. This application will further enhance the control of flea and tick populations on your property. A final third application will be applied by mid October which is designed to control over wintering egg populations and assure full control into the early spring of next season prior to your first Flea and Tick application which will begin in March. This new program is a comprehensive control program which is designed to guarantee better control throughout the entire calendar year.

| CORE AERATION AND FALL SEEDING |
| |
Core aeration is currently in progress, if you are interested in having this process performed on your lawn, contact our office for a price quote and scheduling.
Core aeration is a mechanical process that extracts small cores from the topsoil approximately a half-inch in diameter and 1-3 inches in depth. Core aeration will enhance turf growth, increase irrigation to the root zone and control or minimize disease activity. The cores left behind will dry and slowly disappear after several mowings.
Seed quotes for Fall Seeding can also be given for those worn or damaged spots on your lawn.
