Thank you!



Without our brave service men and woman we could not enjoy this weekend of freedom!  SecureTurf is grateful to all that sacrificed their lives or the lives of their loved ones, so that we could have our freedom!  
To all, have a safe and Happy Memorial Day.  Please remember to reach out and thank our service members when you see them, for they continue to serve and allow us our freedom.



We sometimes take for granted our freedom, but we need to remember all the men and woman, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, who sacrificed their lives for our freedom.

SecureTurf Spring/Summer Tips


SecureTurf Spring/Summer Tips

Spring/Summer weather is coming... 
Here are some helpful reminders to get the most out of your SecureTurf lawn care services
 
Why do I have brown patches on my lawn?
 
At first glance, the browning areas in your lawn may appear to be fungus, or brown patch.  Here are a few ways to tell if it is actually drought:

Locate a brown patch, and pull on the grass. If it won’t pull easily from soil and is firmly rooted, it’s likely brown due to drought.

Push a screwdriver into soil in brown and green lawn areas. If the blade slips easily into green lawn and won’t penetrate brown, soil is dry. In rocky soil, dig a small hole to check soil moisture.


Look at the lawn as a whole. When drought is the culprit, brown patches appear randomly and in rough patterns. Lawn near a sprinkler head may be green, while lawn further away is brown. Grassy areas in shade remain greener when parts in full sun turn brown due to drought. Lawn in low spots will remain green while higher areas turn brown.


Learn early signs of drought stress. Footprints remain on grass after it’s walked on.  Grass blades may also wilt.

 
 
After evaluating many lawns we have realized that these brown areas are heat patches.  Please water these areas well.  Do not soak or suturate them, but keep them as damp as possible. The brown areas will be mowed off as the turf continues to grow.
 
MOWING
Mowing has an effect on the appearance and health of your lawn. Fescue lawns should be mowed at a height of 3"- 4".  
Bermuda and Zoysia lawns should be mowed at .75" to 1.75".

Please sharpen your mower blades regularly, especially before the growing season.
 
WATERING
Proper watering is the #1 thing you can do for your lawn. Water your lawn 1"-1.25" per week all at one time without wasting water. Do not water daily. Water in all SecureTurf  treatments until the lawn and soil are completely saturated.

COMMUNICATION

Fungus Time:
Fungus thrives when temperatures exceed 80 degrees during the day and 70 degrees at night with high humidity.  We are vigilantly watching for these conditions to begin.  If you are on our Essential Lawn Care Program, your lawn will receive its first fungicide treatment at this time.  If not, please call our office and protect your investment.
 
Ornamental Tree and Shrub Fertilizer.
Have you applied fertilizer to your ornamental trees and shrubs?  
Winter & early spring are the best times to apply plant fertilizer.  Call our office to have your plants fertilized with a nursery-grade slow-release fertilizer.  This winter was brutal on many plants. Cold and wet conditions created unpleasant environments for plants, especially plants that like well-drained soil. Keep an eye on your plants and hopefully, with the warmer weather the plants will flourish.
