is Rain enough water for your Lawn? A Lawn's watering requirements normally can't be met by rainfall throughout the season, 1" weekly and 1.5" in July/August. Dry periods happen, thinning out  your grass. When rain does return, it's opportunistic weeds that fill in the thin and bare areas first. We demonsrated HydraGaurd here in early July. Thought you'd like seeing that 5 weeks later, it's  still doing the job. HydraGaurd can greatly stretch the amount of rainfall your grass has access to absorb. It keeps grass thicker longer before dry periods have a negative effect  If you do irrigate, reduced water consumption up to 50%  has been proven locally to be real and achievable. Applied twice a year, we perform the second annual application in September along with seeding. This really helps the success of new grass sprouts by keeping tiny roots hydrated. We love what science can do for a lawn!  Want to know more about helping yours? Call, text , or look us up at https://lnkd.in/egk2M3a #lawnwatering #lawncare #irritation #drought

GUTTER CLEANING Why is it necessary? 1. Ensuring Proper Water Flow: Gutters are designed to collect rainwater and redirect it away from the foundation of your home. 2. Preventing Water Damage: If the gutters become blocked, water will overflow and seep into the structure of your home. 3. Pest Control: Clogged gutters filled with debris create an ideal habitat for birds, rodents, and insects to nest and thrive. 4. Avoiding Ice Dams: In colder regions, clogged gutters can contribute to the formation of ice dams.

Houston summers are known for their extreme heat, high humidity, and sporadic but intense rainfall. Average high temperatures range from the upper 80s to mid 90s, and sometimes even spikes above 100 degrees, with humidity levels often exceeding 70-80%. This intense weather can be particularly harsh on your lawn. The heat and occasional dry conditions require grass species that are drought tolerant and can withstand these challenges. Choosing the wrong type of grass can lead to issues like drought stress, fungal diseases, and poor overall health of your lawn. In order to properly evaluate your lawn, you must asses your lawn’s sun exposure, consider water requirements and restrictions, and evaluate maintenance needs. You should also limit your options to the most suitable grass types for Houston, such as St. Augustine, Bermuda, and Zoysia.

As the summer temperatures climb, so does the risk of wildfires. During this season, is it critical that your clients stay vigilant and act when identifying possible hazards. Here are a few examples: 🐛 Look for pests known for destroying trees. 🌲 Remove unhealthy or dead trees. 🌱 Follow landscaping equipment guidelines to prevent sparks and starting a fire, like mowing before 10am and never when windy and keeping a shovel, fire extinguisher, and cell phone nearby. 🌴Consider native species trees, if tree planting in the fall. #Californiarealtor #californiarealestate #californiawildfire #fireseason #DisclosureSource #NHDreports #wildfireprevention

It's that time of year when it gets hot and typically rains less, causing lawns to dry out. There are a few things you can do to help your lawn stay as green as possible during dryer periods. There is no substitute for water your lawn, if you decide to. Deep watering is best to promote deep root growth. . Summer Tips to Minimize Dry Lawns: 1) Cut your grass much higher than you would in the Spring. Longer grass grows longer roots and will reach moisture deeper in the soil. Long grass also provides more shade to the soil, minimizing evaporation. . 2) This tip is for future dry spells: Aeration is best done in the Spring or Fall, but aeration helps grass roots grow deeper where more water remains in the soil. The surface of the soil dries out first, making deeper lawn roots more drought resistant. . 3) Plant trees to provide some shade on the lawn. .

Many homeowners stop watering their lawns when the temperature falls to 60°F., thinking it’s time for the grass to go dormant for the colder months. The lawns then do turn brown, not because they’ve gone dormant for the winter but because they’re actually starved for water. If you’ve stopped watering your lawn, it will go to “sleep” or into a dormancy state to preserve moisture and nutrients, just as it would during a drought. You need to “wake” it up by starting to irrigate again so your lawn doesn’t die, and you have to replace it. To make sure the grass is only “sleeping”, do a tug test. Dormant grass blades will hold on with some resistance, taking an effort to uproot them. Dead grass blades will pull out easily because they’ve lost their rooting.

A great reminder from our friends at Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance: "It's mowing season and we love the smell of fresh cut grass! Did you know that it's an important habit to sweep grass clippings back into your lawn and avoid leaving them on hard surfaces to be washed down the street or into a storm drain? Here are 3 reasons why... 1.) Phosphorus found in natural and seemingly harmless things like grass clippings, when carried into our waterways via storm drains, can add to bigger problems like harmful algal blooms and even fish kills! 2.) If you sweep after mowing, the clippings will decay into your lawn and soil where the nutrients are needed, creating a healthier lawn, and healthier waterways too! 3.) You'll be protecting bicyclists and motorcyclists from a potentially hazardous slick patch of clippings on roads and sidewalks, making your neighborhood safer for everyone. That's a clean sweep!"
