March Lawn Care Tips

 There is still time to apply a pre-emergent herbicide to reduce summer weeds from germinating.  This is especially important if you were bothered by sandburs and/or crabgrass. Halt, Dimension, Crabgrass Preventer, Amaze and XL are good herbicides for the job.  Note that a second application should be applied in mid-June.

To be ready for the hot weather when it arrives, call in your irrigation contractor to check out and repair your system.  Make sure the rain sensor is working and all leaks are repaired.  Have him/her instruct you how to change the watering amounts if necessary.

Have your mower sharpened and the engine tuned up.  Mow in March to keep the lawn weeds in check.
