Turf Talk From Charlie

Can’t We All Just Get Along?
Without a doubt, trees and lawns complement each other aesthetically in our landscapes. When it comes to coexisting peacefully, however, we can sometimes run into problems.
For example, turf growing underneath shade trees may struggle due to a lack of sunlight. Tree roots and bark can be damaged by lawn mowers and string trimmers. In some cases, tree and lawn roots are even forced to compete with each other for available water and nutrients.
So what can we do to help our trees and lawns get along better? Quite a few things, actually!

Revitalize Your Fescue Lawn
To keep your Fescue lawn looking beautiful, it needs to be revitalized with aeration and overseeding every fall. Fescue doesn’t spread by runners and must be repopulated once per year. Fall is the best time to do this.
With our aeration and overseeding service, King GREEN can replenish turf density and help your lawn to bounce back from summer disease, heat stress and drought conditions. Our turf-type tall Fescue seed is the finest available, and King GREEN guarantees your satisfaction with this service.
Depending on how quickly you respond, we will complete our aeration and overseeding service sometime between late August through October. Please give us a call today so that we can include you on our schedule.
Fall is Best for Planting SuccessTrees can be planted anytime throughout the growing season, but if you want to give your new additions a real advantage, fall is the ideal time to do it. There’s less of a chance for transplant shock in fall’s cooler weather. Plus, the new trees will be able to put out roots and get firmly established in your landscape before summer’s hot, dry and stressful weather returns next year. Planting Tips
• It’s essential to account for the tree’s eventual, mature size when planting. It will need to have ample room for growth so that you don’t have to worry about severe pruning down the road. Also, keep in mind that turf underneath maturing trees may need a little extra help, since excess shade can prohibit turf growth. |
