The Do’s and Don’ts of Summer Lawn Care

April 13, 2017 by gmg

green grassSummer is quickly approaching and Legacy Group wants to make sure your lawn looks perfect this summer. Below you’ll find a brief overview of the do’s and don’ts of lawn care.

 

DO:

  • Do Rake debris left on the lawn from winter. – This lifts the grass, clearing it of any sun-blocking leaves preparing it to grow.
  • Do water your lawn. – A common summer lawn care maintenance pitfall is inadequate watering. You may have been watering your lawn like normal during summers in the past, but was it enough? The evaporation that occurs because of the heat means less water is getting to your lawn roots. This summer, consider increasing the number of times you turn on the sprinklers during the week.   
  • Dress your lawn with compost. – This adds fresh nutrients to your soil, improves the soil texture and may help fill low spots making your yard easier to mow.

 

DON’T:

  • Don’t misapply fertilizer – Although fertilizing your lawn is good for lawn care maintenance, misapply it, and things can get ugly. Go for a slow-release fertilizer with a lower nitrogen content to prevent damage and follow the directions carefully.  
  • Don’t try to get rid of dandelions by poisoning them. – You can kill the leaves of a dandelion, but not the roots. Digging them out is the only sure-fire way to eliminate them.
  • Don’t use a poison. – Very few poisons only kill the thing you’re after and may cause additional problems by killing its enemies (good bugs) or weakening the plant.

Spring gardening tips from the Legacy Group!

Spring gardening tips from the Legacy Group!

March 30, 2017 by gmg

Spring is officially here and that means it’s time for some gardening! At the Legacy Group, we love making sure your yard is healthy and living up to its full potential. This is why we’re sharing 5 spring gardening tips with you. Check them out and then give us a call for all of your landscaping needs!

  • Clean out your garden. remove all the debris (leaves, leftover snow, etc.) Get rid of weeds, making sure that you get the roots so they won’t grow back.
  • Revitalize the soil. Your soil is likely dried out and packed after winter, it’s time to add moisture. Add organic material like compost or manure.
  • Trim old plants. Plants that survived the winter will need to be pruned so they’ll grow anew in the spring. Make sure to wait until mid-April or May in case there’s an unexpected freeze.
  • Add Mulch. One to three inches of mulch helps to prevent weeds and diseases. It also keeps the moisture in the garden and maintains the temperature.

These are just a few ways you can prepare your garden this spring. Once your spring garden is up and running again, it’s time to look to the future and decide what to do with your garden next. Of course, it will need some care in order to stay colorful and beautiful throughout the season, so don’t forget about them after your spring gardening.

Tips For Reviving Your Lawn For Spring

Tips For Reviving Your Lawn For Spring

March 15, 2017 by gmg

Winter has passed, hooray! Now it’s time to bring your lawn back to life for spring. At the Legacy Group, we enjoy providing our customers with the highest quality of lawn maintenance, fertilization and weed control based on what their property needs, but you can never have too much knowledge about your lawn, right? Especially if you have any kind of green-thumb like ours. That’s why we’ve taken the time to put together a short guide to reviving your lawn for spring. Check it out!

Soil Sampling

Topsoil is loose, dark, and full of decomposing organic material. Grass loves it. So if your yard is full of clay, it’s time to spread some topsoil.

Aeration

Even though lawns are technically a type of monoculture, grass is a complex ecosystem, full of plant roots, microbes, and insects. Maintaining that system’s proper functionality involves keeping the soil loose so that air and water can get in and out. Over time, the soil beneath your lawn becomes compacted, squeezing off nutrients from the grass.

Seed and Water
It may be time to reseed if your lawn has patches. Pick a species of grass that works with your soil type and climate and plant seeds early in the season—basically, as soon as the ground thaws.

These are just a few things you can do in order to prepare your lawn for the spring time.

3 Ways to Prepare Your Lawn for Spring

3 Ways to Prepare Your Lawn for Spring

January 19, 2017 by gmg

Before you know it, spring will be here. There’s a good chance you may take a look at your lawn in Winder, GA and be overwhelmed by what you see. Here are some winter lawn maintenance tips that you can do now that will help keep your lawn healthier and reduce the amount of work you will need to do this spring.

Inspect Your Lawn Frequently

gardening toolsIt’s a good idea to take a walk around your yard, especially after a storm to look for accumulation of leaves, fallen branches and any debris that may have been blown in. You will want to remove these items from your lawn to prevent damage to the grass. Mold and fungus can begin to grow from the moisture that can be trapped in these items and damage your lawn.

Assess what areas of your lawn might need renovation during the spring with reseeding. Look for moss or mushroom growth that are a sign that your lawn may need specific lawn care services to resolve these issues.

Get Out and Rake Occasionally

The cooler weather makes it a good time to rake areas of your lawn where thatch may be present. Thatch is a layer of dried, dead grass that can stop fertilizer, sunlight and oxygen from reaching the roots of healthy grass. Removing the thatch will help your lawn come back healthy in the spring.

Weed Prevention

During the cooler weather, most weeds are dormant. Once the temperature reaches 55 degrees, some weeds like crabgrass will begin to grow. To prevent crabgrass in your lawn, you need to put down a crabgrass preventer before spring for pre-emergent crabgrass control. A good way to tell that it’s time to apply pre-emergents is to watch for blooming forsythia.
