After last week’s rain I’ve noticed that dandelions are popping up. It’s best to kill them before they turn white and spread more seeds. Now is a great time to use a liquid lawn weed killer. You can spray your entire lawn or spot spray just the weeds. For best results use at least 2 days after mowing when there is no rain in the forecast for at least 24 hours.

With spring coming early this year many of you want to get a head start on refinishing your decks or sealing your driveways. Although the air temperature may be warm the surface temperatures are not. I do not advise applying any outdoor coatings until nighttime lows are consistently above 50 degrees.

Happy Spring

What should I do with my lawn?

We get asked that a lot this time of year. Spring is the best time to take care of crabgrass issues before they start. Right now is the prime time to apply a fertilizer with crabgrass preventer. Although not its primary function, this will also help to prevent some early season weed growth.

If crabgrass is not a concern and you already have some active weed growth you may want to consider applying a weed and feed. Weed and feed does not prevent weeds rather it kills active weed growth. Weed and feed works best when applied to a damp lawn such as in the early morning and needs 48 hours of no rain. Timing is everything.

Our staff at Goyer Ace is well trained to recommend the right product for all your lawn care needs.
