A KingGREEN employee recently enjoyed a major wedding anniversary with his wife. To celebrate the occasion, he ordered a large floral arrangement to be delivered to her workplace.

Spring is fully upon us and that means it is your lawn mower's busiest time of year. As you resume the mowing routine, there are a few things to keep in mind:

Leaf removal is not only essential from an aesthetic perspective, but also for agronomic reasons. Although turf grass growth slows or ceases during this time of year, the plant will continue to photosynthesize (create nutrients/energy). This energy is stored to be used the following year. When leaves are left on Fescue grass, this reduces the ability to photosynthesize by shading available light.

In August, we closed the office and headed to Helen for a day of fun on the river. Every year, each department gets a day off to partake in some sort of activity. This year, the service department went to Atlanta Motor Sports Park to race go carts and we went tubing and out to lunch in Helen. I always look forward to our outings. It’s nice to be able to relax with your co-workers and not worry about work for the day!

Aeration and seeding is immensely important if you have a fescue lawn. Why?, you ask. Well, fescue doesn’t self germinate. Fescue is not going to re-populate barren or brown areas. Throughout the year, those areas will remain barren. At least until the weeds take over. Even if your lawn is treated with weed control, weeds tend to fill in areas that are not populated by turf. Most simply, a healthy fescue lawn is a lawn that is cared for throughout the year, and aerated and seeded every fall. We recommend the following steps to keep your fescue lawn looking great.
