Keeping Your Lawn Alive

Six Tips for a Healthy Lawn

It’s hot, hot, hot, and you want a green, green lawn. Our Midwest summers can singe grass until it turns brown, but help is just a conversation away. Talk with our garden center professionals about summer lawn care and the appropriate lawn products to use.

And don’t forget these six simple steps:

  • Water in the early morning only, water to a 6-inch soil depth
  • Check for grubs and apply grub control if needed
  • Fertilize warm-season grasses
  • If needed, use only a slow-release fertilizer (organic) on cool-season grasses during hot weather
  • Don’t apply herbicides when temps are over 90 degrees
  • Set your mower higher to prevent burnout and encourage stronger root growth

 

Have you ever wished that your neighbors would ask for the secret to your green, thick lawn? You can get there. Use Scotts LawnPro 4-Step Program to protect and strengthen grass so you can enjoy a healthy lawn throughout the year. In fact, your lawn can become the envy of the neighborhood, and it’s as easy as one, two, three.... four.

Welcome Spring with Our Best

We’re introducing a new product – the rain barrel. Your lawn, plants and gardens require a lot of water to remain healthy and beautiful. Rain barrels help to supplement the municipal or well water you’re currently using.

Just attach a rain barrel to a gutter downspout, and collect and store water for watering the garden or just keeping it handy for emergency situations. Only 1/4 inch of rainfall runoff from the average roof will completely fill the barrel. Start with one rain barrel -- you could always add more in the future.

Stop by one of our garden and landscape centers and get all the facts from our knowledgeable staff. Our rain barrels have state-of-the-art technology:

  • Automatic Overflow
  • Child- and Critter-Poof Design
  • Guaranteed to Last
