Myth #4: Turf Plus doesn’t need my feedback to make my lawn look great.

Knowledge is power, and while we know what it takes to make your lawn look great, we don’t see your lawn as often as you do, nor do we know what your lawn care goals are. Our goal is to tailor our information and services directly to your lawn care needs, which can only be done if we know what that is!

Solution: Tell us what you think! Let us know what problems or questions you have so we can address them both on our web site and at your home. If we can do this, not only will your lawn look better, but the lawns of many others as they benefit from your questions and our experience.

Myth #3: The first sign of drought is a brown spot.

You know your lawn is dry if its brown and the soil is dry, but by this stage, the blades are dead and new growth is required for that area of your lawn to green up again. Drought can be identified in time to save the blades before they die. A dry lawn is characterized by a dark-green smoky hue. When stepped upon, the blades remain prone longer and will not readily bounce back. A well watered lawn will act much more lively and many of the blades will spring back within a second or two.

Solution: Look for areas of your lawn that have a dark, smoky hue then check the soil and blades for dryness. If drought is the problem, check your sprinklers and adjust them to water affected area evenly and deeply. This will revitalize your lawn and prevent brown spots.
