Thumbies,
As most of you know, I will NOT service lawns when it is above 85 degrees. Some people (certainly, not Thumbies) ask why I don't? Well, spreading dry material on dry, VERY DRY grass is not healthy for the grass. If the lawn is not watered within 24 hours, 'burning' of the grass may occur. Then, they ask, "If this is the case, why does my brother-in-law have a lawn service in Florida that services year around...and the weather is much hotter down there than up here?" My answer is simple...southern states have warm season grass while we here in PA have cool season grass (more specifically, we are in a transition zone). The grass in the southern states can handle the dry material on dry days...but can't handle the cool weather. In PA, we are somewhat the opposite. Although our grass can handle the cold AND hot weather...very hot and dry weather causes damage. Any more questions?
TIP OF THE DAY...WATER YOUR LAWN EVERY MORNING THIS WEEK!
