Irrigation Shut Down

Don't get caught with frozen pipes when we experience our first hard freeze in Kansas City this year. According to the How Do Gardner there is a 90% chance of our first frost date being after October 28th* & the first freeze being after November 8th*. That being said, we strongly urge you to schedule your irrigation lines to be blown out using our compressor machine as soon as possible. It is especially important for those who have an above-ground backflow preventer because they are more susceptible to damage during a freeze.

The Importance of Lawn Aeration

With Fall just around the corner, it is important to start thinking about Lawn Renovation in your lawn.  Aerification is probably the single most important maintenance operation you can do to your lawn all season especially in clay soils which are very abundant to say the least in this area.  Aerification not only reduces compaction in the soil, it also helps to break down thatch layers that have developed above the soil level and allows water and nutrient flow below the compaction zone to the roots.

Should I bag my clippings?

Many people beleive that bagging your clipping helps to limit and reduce the thatch layer in your lawn.  This is not correct.  Thatch is not made up of grass clippings.  It is made up of decay resistant such as surface roots, runners and stems found close to the soil surface.  Grass Clippings are made up of soft tissue that is 85-90% water.  Therefore, when clippings are left to dry on the soil they shrink by 90%.
