Fall 'To Do's'.................

Thumbies,

Remember, fall is THE TIME to prepare your lawn for next spring. What should you do? Well, as always, I am here for you! The following includes services we provide (of course) and cultural practices you should be doing:

***Aeration is the NUMBER ONE, BEST service you can do for your lawn.

***Lime is crucial to the growth of your lawn. In soutwestern PA, most of our lawns are..........rock and clay. Lime will help break-down the clay, increase the pH of your lawn and prepare your grass for next year.

***PowerSeeding will increase the density (thickness) of your grass. If you have never seen our powerseeder....WOW, you just don't know what you are missing. Like ALL of our machines, our powerseeder is patented. (hint: nobody, NOBODY else in the world has this device).

***Mow your lawn a little shorter before aerating and powerseeding. This helps the tines of both machines get down to the soil easier.

***Keep the leaves off your lawn (I think this is self-explanatory)

***MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL.....enjoy God's grace of fall. It is a wonderful time of year. The smell of leaves, the freshness of rain (hopefully), wearing a sweatshirt with shorts, sitting around roasting marshmallows and yes....the STEELERS!



TIP OF THE DAY: Life is too short to take everyday too seriously. Relax and enjoy the ride, because it won't last forever. Remember, every ride has a beginning and an ending!
