It’s time to start getting your lawn ready for the cold weather ahead.  While you may think you can leave your yard alone until next year, the maintenance you do during the fall and winter can impact your lawn health in the spring. 

What R & T Lawn Services, Inc Can Help With Now

Winter Fertilizer

Your grass might grow the most during spring months, but the root systems that the plants depend on continue developing throughout the year. Winter fertilization stores in the roots to help the grass grow in the warmer months.  With the application of winter fertilizer it enables the roots to be better equipped to draw moisture and food from the soil. 

Detecting Poa Annua

Poa annua is an aggressive type of annual bluegrass that can overwhelm the fescue grasses preferred by many North Carolina homeowners. Once you notice poa growing in the spring, it’ll likely be too late to do anything about it. The best approach is to kill this grass while it’s still in the immature/dormant stages during November/December months.

To reduce Poa in tall fescue lawns, there is a 2-step program, to control of the bluegrass.  The applications are applied at the end of November and December, and should be completed over a 2 year window.  This will help reduce the Poa by approximately 90%.
