Q: Why do I need six regular applications during the growing season?
A: For balanced fertilization and control of weeds, a continuous, regular program is needed. Lawn
Cure’s six application program will produce a green, healthy lawn.
Q: How will you price my lawn care service?
A: The cost of Lawn Cure’s program is based only on the lawn area to be treated, not the total
size.
Q: What can be done to control crabgrass?
A: Crabgrass is a real problem because one plant can produce thousands of seeds. Pre-
emergent applied in early spring stops crabgrass as the seed germinates.
Q: How should I water my lawn?
A: Water during daylight hours of early morning if possible. In hot, dry weather, apply 1″ to 2″
of water weekly. This will help keep your lawn vigorous and healthy.
Q: How should I mow my lawn?
A: Mow when grass is dry so clippings will be evenly dispersed. Mulch your clippings. Keep your
mower blade sharp. Set your mower blade as high as possible to assure a minimum mowing
height of 3 inches.
Q: Are the materials used on my lawn safe?
A: With modern technology, a very low concentration of material is needed to control the
toughest weeds and insects. All materials are regulated by the EPA.
There are steps you can take to protect your trees and the roots below from damage during construction on your property, however, plans aren’t always followed and mistakes are made. So what do you do to provide care to your damaged trees?
If your tree has experienced damage to its exterior, the first place to start is with the bark. Any tree bark that has been damaged should be shaved away to encourage healing. Lawn care experts recommend using a sharp knife to trim around the wounded area in a rounded motion, not cutting any deeper than is necessary to avoid cutting into healthy bark. Removing the damaged bark will promote moisture and nutrients into and around the bruised area. Just like a wound on human flesh, the tree will have a scar, but if the bark is properly cared for, the tree should heal around the wound.
If a large section of the tree has been damaged, for instance more than half of the tree’s circumference, you may want to consult your local Louisville lawn care company to save it from dying. Trees will not immediately exhibit symptoms of damage, but without proper nutrients and moisture getting to all the parts of the tree, branches will become brittle and break off, leaves will fade and eventually the tree will stop growing at all. Your tree company can stop the dying process of the tree through intensive Louisville lawn care that involves corrective pruning, fertilization and curative irrigation.
If your tree has become damaged during the construction process, call your local Louisville lawn care company as soon as possible to save this vital feature of your landscape.
