    Know your Grass, Understand your Grass!

    September 2, 2013 by Hillary

    Do you wish you knew more about your landscape? Knew which grass was which and how to take care of each? We understand the feeling! We see lawns everyday with different grasses and each need a different amount of care. We have put together a list of a few different types of turfs and how to take care of each! See below:

    • Bermuda (Warm Season Turf)
      • As a rule, mow at .5 “- 2.0”
      • Start low in late April after last frost date and gradually raise the height as the summer progresses.
      • By late September to early October, maintain a mowing height of 1.5”-2.0” to help insulate your warm season lawn from the cold weather.
    • Centipede
      • As a rule, mow at 1.25”-1.5”
      • Start low in late April after last frost date and gradually raise the height as the summer progresses.
      • By late September to early October, maintain a mowing height of 1.5” to help insulate your warm season lawn from the cold weather.
    • Fescue (Cool Season Turf)
      • As a rule, mow at 3.0” to 3.5”
      • During cool weather (spring-fall- winter) mow at 3.” During the hot summer months, maintain 3.5.”
    • Zoysia (Warm Season Turf)
      • As a rule, mow at 1.5” to 2.5” depending on type of Zoysia
      • Start low in late April after last frost date and gradually raise the height as the summer progresses.
      • By late September to early October, maintain a mowing height of 1.5”-2.5” to help insulate your warm season lawn from the cold weather.

    Simply Green always does an excellent job and are very customer oriented. The technicians are more knowledgeable than those of other companies I have tried.

    I have been with these guys for one whole season. 99.9% of weeds are gone. The grass has never been so green. They have lived up to their name.

    I just had another comment this morning on how good our fescue lawn looks, which happens several times a week. I walked out in our back yard this morning and couldn’t believe it was the same yard as what I dealt with last year.

    Please let your staff that serviced my lawn aeration and fertilization yesterday that they did an EXCELLENT JOB! My lawn is doing better than it ever has. And because of them and the rest of the techs that come out to my house, that I'll remain a loyal customer of Simply Green. Great job!

    I just had another comment this morning on how good our fescue lawn looks, which happens several times a week. I walked out in our back yard this AM and couldn't believe it was the same yard as what I dealt with last year. We have a good lawn maintenance crew that takes care of mowing and edging, and we have a good company that takes care of weeding, feeding, and shrubbery & trees. I enjoy telling friends and neighbors about your service. Thank you and keep up the good work!

    Happened to be home and Ben treating the yard. He took meticulous care in the treatment. Please convey my thanks to him.
