June 20, 2008 For Deep Roots and Healthy Lawns
With all of this rain we have been getting in St. Louis the roots of the grass are close to the surface of the soil waiting for more rain. Now that the rain is not so frequent, it would be best to hold off on watering your lawn for at least a week after the last rainfall. By doing this you will force the roots to search for water. The roots will dig deep into the soil and this will establish a good base for your lawn.
If you notice that it is hard to walk on your lawn without taking up clumps of grass, then this may be a sign of overwatering. The roots are not established and the lawn is almost unusable. Make your lawn search for water and this will help keep your lawn usable and strong all year round.
Healthy lawns should be mowed once a week. If you notice that your lawn is not growing enough for it to be mowed once a week, then the lawn may need some more water.
If your lawn is healthy and growing and need a professional lawn service in St. Louis to mow your lawn, then give St. Louis Lawn Care a call. |

June 30, 2008 Summer Weeds are Growing
Now that the weather is warmer, the summer weeds are starting to pop up. These weeds are noticeable in un-maintained areas such as flower beds and landscaping. Removing these weeds can be grueling work. Each weed must be pulled out from the roots to prevent it from growing back. By clearing the weeds from the landscaping and flowerbeds, your property will have a much cleaner look to it.
St. Louis Lawn Care offers services to remove weeds and debris from various landscaping and flowerbeds. St. Louis Lawn Care will remove the weeds and dispose of the debris for you. |

July 23, 2008 Replenish the Nutrients in the Soil
The mass amounts of rain that we received this past season in St. Louis has depleted the soil nutrients. If you notice your yard being overtaken by brown spiny grass then a fungus has gotten to your grass due to low nutrient levels.
Many of the yards that I fertilized during the spring have fought off this fungus because the lawns were properly fed. Even if you did fertilize your yard in the spring you may want to apply a summer fertilizer application to replenish the soil with vital nutrients.
