Achieving a vibrant, healthy lawn doesn't require constant watering; it requires smart watering. By understanding a few key principles, you can ensure your grass thrives while conserving water and enhancing its resilience.
How Much Water Does Your Lawn Really Need?
For a truly green and growing lawn, aim for about 1 inch of water per week. This can come from your irrigation, rainfall, or a combination of both. The goal is to water deeply to encourage roots to grow further down into the soil.
Timing is Everything: When to Water
The best time to water your lawn is in the early morning, typically between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. This allows the grass to absorb the water it needs while minimizing loss to evaporation and wind. Watering at this time also reduces the chance of fungal diseases that can occur if the lawn stays wet overnight.
Deep & Infrequent: The Golden Rule
Avoid light, frequent sprinklings. Instead, focus on watering deeply and less often. The frequency depends on your soil type:
Clay Soils: These soils retain water longer, so they typically need to be irrigated only once or twice a week, but with a greater volume of water to ensure deep penetration.
Sandy Soils: Water drains more quickly through sandy soils, meaning they may need watering two or three times a week, but with less volume each time.
Deep watering trains your grass to develop a strong, deep root system, making it more robust and drought-tolerant. Only...
The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an invasive insect that poses a significant threat to ash trees. This destructive pest has already devastated ash tree populations across North America, and while it may not yet be confirmed in our immediate area, it's crucial for homeowners to be proactive in protecting their valuable trees.
What is Emerald Ash Borer?
EAB is a small, metallic-green beetle that lays its eggs on ash trees. The larvae then bore into the tree's bark, feeding on the inner tissues that transport water and nutrients. This disrupts the tree's ability to survive, eventually leading to its death.
The Threat to Our Community
While EAB hasn't been officially confirmed in our specific location, it's present in nearby regions and is expected to arrive soon. Because EAB can spread rapidly, it's essential to take preventative measures before an infestation occurs. Early detection and treatment are the most effective ways to save your ash trees.
Our Proactive Solution: Preventative Tree Injections
Our landscape company is now offering a specialized tree injection service that provides effective preventative protection against Emerald Ash Borer. This treatment involves injecting a safe and effective insecticide directly into the tree, which protects it for up to two years.
