You can't believe everything you hear!

We are getting closer to the end of the spraying season for pre-emergent & post-emergent applications but, YES WE CAN STILL SPRAY PRE-EMERGENT ON YOUR YARD! We will spray until the beginning of April. The chemicals that are used to kill/prevent all the weeds change at this point in time during the year because of the change in seasonal temperature. As of next week the price will increase by $10 a yard to provide for the cost of the new chemical needed . As far as the effectiveness of the chemicals there are no differences in spraying last month, now, or in April. Other than the day & the cost there are no reasons why you cannot still spray your yard...it's better late than never!

Scalping & Dethatching Season is Here!!!!!!!!!!


Scalping is the removal of dormant, straw-colored turf, and it promotes earlier green-up and helps prevent thatch and weed problems throughout the summer. March 15th through April 30th is a good time to scalp your yard.
Thatch is a layer of living and dead grass stems and roots. It is the natural consequence of a healthy lawn. For best results, dethatch your lawn about every one to two years, in March or April or in the early fall.  Dethatching isn't recommended in the spring during the transition between dormancy and active growth because at this time the energy and nutrient stores in grass roots are low. Bermuda lawns in Lubbock, Texas are best maintained with an annual dethatching. Thatch, built-up plant material between green growth and the grass roots, is essential, but too much can deter healthy lawn growth.
