Hot Days of Spring...Happy Flag Day

Water, Water and did I say Water...

Our poor landscapes need water, please don't forget to water.  Check your sprinklers and make sure they are working and please water appropriately.

Watering

1.        Water before 9:00am only.  Daylight watering or night watering will promote fungus and disease.

2.        Do not under or over water. Water correctly or do not water at all.

3.        Let soil dry 2-3 inches in depth before each watering.

4.        Water to 6 inches in depth each time. Light watering can do more damage than good whether by rainfall or by hose.

5        Do not water if there is adequate rainfall.  Six inches of depth moisture takes about 1 inch of slow rainfall, not heavy rain.  Short heavy rainfalls tend to run off.

6        Average lawns need 1" of water per week.  During the heat of the summer this interval may be shortened to every 2-3 days due to evaporation.

It's Trimming and Pruning Time

It's Trimming Time Time is running out... just a few weeks left. Spring buds come quickly and then it's too late for trimming and pruning.  December through February is the best time of the year to prune trees and trim shrubs. Once cold weather has set in and the plants have hardened for winter, you can safely prune, limb and trim without hurting the plant. Three things that would prevent trimming or pruning: A tree or shrub has visible flowers.  A tree or shrub has a visible buds.  A tree or shrub has brand new foliage. Cutting off the top of a crape myrtle has become a wide spread way to prune for most homeowners and is not always recommended. Most people believe that heavy chopping is necessary to promote flowers and some cut the top off because the plant is too large for the space provided.  There are some instances in which heavy pruning is necessary, but light pruning is usually all that is needed. The type and amount of pruning depends on the desired shape and size of the plant, contact us at SecureTurf with any questions. If you are not sure if you can trim or prune, we can assist you.  In the spring your trees can look the these trees below.
