Spring is Near, Start Scalping Your Lawn
It’s still pretty cold outside, in fact, it seems that it is snowing or freezing every other day. Here, at Simply Green, spring is the last thing we are reminded of when we step outside this March. This doesn’t mean that spring lawn care procedures should not be followed though. It’s cold now, but in the coming weeks, we will see the sun begin to shine again and weather will begin to feel like spring. One thing we all need to do in spring, is to start scalping our warm season lawns!
So how do you scalp a lawn properly, and why?
- Firstly, make sure you have warm season grass, like bermuda or zoysia. Cool season grasses, like fescue, will not

benefit from cutting it shorter this time of year.
- Before you start, make sure all of the left over frost from winter is gone. If frost still exists, you could actually do more harm than good.
- You might wonder, just how short you need to cut for it to be considered scalping. Put your mowing blades on its lowest level to efficiently scalp your lawn.
- The act of scalping your lawn removes dry and dormant turf, and can actually help prevent weed problems during the coming months.

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

Please let your staff that serviced my lawn aeration and fertilization yesterday know 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, 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 was treating the yard. He took meticulous care in the treatment. Please convey my thanks to him.
