JUNE LAWN CARE AND FIELD TRIP OPPORTUNITY

All of us here at GR Robinson (Steve Ladi, George Kippenberger and myself) would like to invite you to visit our new location (10747 Trenton Ave, 63132). We like to call our new location “The Institute for Higher Turf Grass Education” building. We are proud of the fact that you will leave with the right information about how to treat your lawn, not necessarily the products. Too many times, our customers want immediate solutions to their turf grass problems, when it’s better to wait or have someone else do it for them. Usually it take anywhere from 15-30 minutes of questions and answers to determine what is the best solution to your lawn problems, so come equipped ready to exchange some information.

If you want a quick fix…please go to a big box store and buy some junk. Or, just put your money in a wheel barrel and light it on fire…same result. Whether it’s an exercise program or a financial plan, there is now quick fix…that last. All things worth having are a process and we will go through a very good process for your lawn designed specifically for you. Afternoons are usually better, but just give us a call and we’ll set something up! We’ll look forward to seeing you…

JUNE COURSE OF ACTION

*Raise your mower to 3.5 inches or more if youa re mowing “cool season” lawns. Lower it to 2” for zoysia or warm season lawns

*Sharpen you blade after 8-10 hours of mowing

*Start applying fungicides to cool season lawns

*Apply grub/insect controls (Acelepryn or Merit) right now. Especially to zoysia lawns that show “decline” symptoms!

*Spot spray weeds as needed (NEVER apply a “Weed-N-Feed” product. They are pure junk and should be banned by the United Nations. Please call me if you don’t agree with this sentence!)

*Don’t over water the lawn. We are way above our rain fall for the spring. Hold off on regular watering until your air conditioner has been running for a week straight (62 degrees as 8 am today).

*Aerate or power rake your zoysia lawns this month. Remember to reapply your pre-emergent after doing this.

Lastly, tell your dad you love him for Fathers Day. Even if he is gone from this earth, he’ll hear you. I’m fortunate to have a father who is very active in my life. He is an excellent role model for me and my children and I welcome the opportunity to say…”Dad, I love you and thank you for your wisdom. I only wish I had listened earlier in my life”

Remember folks…It’s just grass!
