Tips from Toby – Winter Tree Care
With this weekends ice storm, lots of trees are going to be losing some branches. Much of the tree damage you will see can be avoided by properly taking care of your trees with pruning and fertilization. Our younger trees may appear dormant - but they are looking for nutrients and trying to grow into big trees all Winter. This is the perfect time to give them a nice feeding and prune any problem areas. By fertilizing your trees now you can help those young trees double or even triple their growth rate and they will also be healthier and stronger. It's as simple as spreading some Winterizer fertilizer and pruning back any branches that are rubbing or dead. Watch the video tip now to get the full skinny and help those trees get a big, healthy boost.
Tips from Toby – Late Fall Dormant Seeding
Did you miss seeding in September? (maybe too much Royal Excitement!!!). It's one of Toby's favorite "cheats". Dormant seeding is an easy way to fill in those bare spots and get the new seed down and germinating months ahead of Spring seeding. Spring seeding is a big waste of time and money because most of the new seed will not be strong enough to survive the early Summer heat and then it just all dies. Dormant seeding now will get your lawn filling in nicely and you'll have a healthy lawn that will stand up to the hot Summer. There are specifics that you need to know so watch the video now and find out if dormant seeding is a great idea for you!
Tips from Toby – Early Fall Dormancy
The extremely dry October along with the warmer temperatures have left some pretty brown lawns all over town. It's easy to mistake this for heat stress, but our lawns are so dry they are actually going dormant early. Lawns usually don't start going dormant until early December, so letting them go to sleep now means they won't thicken, gain strength and absorb nutrients throughout the Winter leaving sparse and unhealthy lawns next Spring. We need water and Toby tells you what to do and how to get those lawns to wake up and be healthy again.
