Grass.jpgYour First Impression Feature

 

Yes, it’s that time of year for anyone living in the southeastern part of the country to think about the maintenance of their First Impression feature; the front lawn.    I realize that our northern neighbors may snicker a bit at this post since they are still looking out at a good amount of snow, but turn away if needed.    

 

The majority of homes here have Bermuda grass in the front of their homes.  Bermuda is popular due to the full sun requirements and being very drought resistant.  It’s time now, actually we are at the deadline, to put down the pre-emergent for the summer grasses.  The purpose of the pre-emergent is to help fight off the weeds when the Bermuda grass starting to green out. Remember, you don’t want to do any fertilizing on the summer grasses like Bermuda until they are 50% green.

Hello Laura,  I agree with you so much on first impression of a home, curb appeal can make such a difference even if it is in the North or south part of the country.

Hi Laura,

We have a lot of Bermuda grass too and folks here get ready for it to grow when the nights start getting into  70 degree range.

Good morning Laura. Nice job with your post, unfortunately with the weather in the Northeast, a green lawn won't happen yet, but see your photo really helps.

Make it a great week!

Laura, our grass it starting to turn quite green, even though we get a couple small snowstorms each week.  In between it is 60-70 degrees!
