Fall is the best time to plant. There are just so many advantages to planting in the Fall. There are fewer pestduring this time of the year because of the colder weather. Plants for the most part go dormant during the colder season. Photosynthesis stops. The soil is warmer than the air, so the roots of the plants stick more firmly to the soil and settle. You basically get theplant developement without interuptions. The ideal time for planting is usually about 6 weeks before the frost (September-mid October. |

 Crabgrass is a type of weed that plagues most lawns.Crabgrass grows outward in a star like pattern that will cover the soil and smother other grasses. What makes this weed so hard to kill is that you it is an annual and it only needs to be 50 degrees fahrenheit to germinate. There are many ways to kill crabgrass that involve chemicals. Some of these chemicals work but do take caution, especially when it comes to Fescue seed or sod. |

The best time to do any kind of landscaping is now! There are so many things you can do in landscaping that you could have something to do every month of the year. Yesterday was thefirst day of fall and it was in the 90's! Where are the fallen leaves and cool breezes that we enjoy this time of year? Don't let the weather stop you from completing your landscaping. We are no longer in a drought so watering isokay and there isn't much rain which allows for much needed time to complete projects. |
