Transitioning Your Lawn From Spring to Summer

Need Help Getting Your Yard Ready for Summer?

Here at Local Edge, we know the importance of having your yard look nice as it makes the transformation from spring to summer. As the weather starts getting warmer, most grass types will start to grow rapidly which is a good thing, but you have to make sure that you have someone to stay on top of the trimming or else you run the risk of your grass growing over into your flower beds.

The warmer weather also means that the weeds will grow faster too, so it is very important to keep your grass trimmed so that the longer grass is not providing shade to the weeds to help in their growth.  Another thing about the fast approaching summer is figuring out how much to water your lawn and flowers, so having a professional helping you to figure out how much water your yard is going to need is also a good thing.

Spiders May be in Your Home!

We all know your typical pest ants, wasps, and even spiders. But do you really know about these pest? For example did you know that spiders have an egg cycle every few weeks and continually multiply. This cycle is particularly scary especially if the timing is just right and food is readily available. This kind of situation can turn a small bug problem into a massive infestation. If this situation does occur you can be sure that all of the new spiders will have the same cycle as the older ones yielding in many more spiders in shorter amount of time.

Try to Prevent Lawn Diseases

Trouble with Lawn Disease?
Lawn diseases are more common than most people think, and if your lawn looks like it is suffering even if you think you are doing all of the right things then it could be a lawn disease. Lawn diseases are usually caused by plant pathogens that are a relative of fungi. Even though you cannot see the fungi, it is always there just waiting for the right conditions for it to grow.
You normally will not notice the fungi because your lawn does a pretty good job of fending them off, but when the weather and environmental conditions are just right, then the fungi is able to take over and ruin your lawn. Here at Local Edge we have taken the time to educate ourselves about all of the different types of lawn diseases, and we will do whatever we can to prevent your lawn from getting a disease.

Don’t Cut Your Lawn Too Short

Dont Cut Your Lawn Too Short!

One of the most common lawn care mistakes that people make is that they cut their lawn way too short, thinking that they are saving themselves time because their yard won’t need to be mowed again for a few weeks. The problem is that cutting your lawn too short or scalping it as some people call it, is not good because it causes your lawn to become stressed out and it allows things like weeds to take over while the lawn is taking all of its strength to grown back.

The reason why the lawn takes longer to grow and you have weed problems with short grass is because it cannot properly photosynthesize itself, causing it to grow slowly and a lot of times you will cause dead spots in your law. A very short lawn needs lots of water to help it regrow, so that is why it is best left up to the professionals to cut your lawn. We promise to never cut your grass any shorter than it needs to be, so please pick up the phone and give us a call!

Why Dethatching Your Lawn in Spring is Necessary!

Lawn Dethatching in the Spring
One of the things you should do every year is to dethatch you yard in the springtime.  Dethatching your yard is when we at Local Edge will go through your yard and remove any debris that has built up and needs to be removed. The debris that we will remove is mostly grass clippings and lawn debris that has built up over the fall and wintertime.
It is important that you choose the right time of year to dethatch you lawn, and the timing really depends on the climate that you live in and the kind of grass that you have growing in your yard.  Dethatching can be tough on your lawn, so it is best to do it in the springtime when the lawn will have plenty of time to recover before the heat of summer sets in. The nice thing about dethatching is that it gives you about a 45 day window after it is done where the growing conditions for your grass is at its best, so it can recover without the threat of having weeds take over.
