Time for Weed and Feed!

It’s not too late to achieve a lush green lawn this summer! Right now is the time to apply weed and feed and timing is everything when it comes to application. For best results weed and feed should be applied to a damp lawn at least 1 day after mowing when there is no rain in the forecast for 48 hours.

The key points are 1) Damp lawn and 2) No rain for at least 24 hours after application. No matter when you apply you will still get the benefit of the fertilizer. An alternative for killing just the weeds is a spot treatment or a whole lawn treatment with a lawn weed killer like Ortho Weed-B Gon.

Some other tips to help achieve a healthy lawn include; when mowing try not to cut more than 1”or 1/3 the length of your lawn, if you have clippings lying on top of the lawn when you’re done mowing make sure to rake them off, do not water after 5 o’clock and don’t water in the heat of the day. Follow these tips and your lawn will look great in no time!
