We are applying a slow release granular fertilizer to your lawn in April.

This month we are applying a fertilizer to your lawn for color and density. This application should be watered in before your next mowing. You can expect to see results from this application in 2-3 weeks.

Bright yellow areas called chlorosis are common after a high nitrogen fertilizer. This is a result of iron being immobile in plants and new growth being brought on by our recent treatments. It is mostly in areas that need more recovery being prone to cold damage or turf injury. It is more frequently observed in wet soils in the spring. It is a result of new leaf growth out pacing root growth and irons inability to trans-locate. It will take approximately 3 mowings to see improvement as root growth begins to catch up with the rest of the plant. You will also see new growth begin as yellow in many of our shrubs in North Florida such as ligustrums, viburnums, etc.

Generally, expect to water each zone for 45 minutes twice each week from March thru October. Watering for a longer duration (45 minutes – 1 hour, rather than 20-30 minutes per zone) will encourage deeper root growth. Mowing at 4 inches will also encourage a deeper root system. If anything unexpected happens we are always here to help you troubleshoot any issues that may arise. Good cultural practices are going to prevent many common problems from occurring in your lawn. During a drought or freeze, reduce traffic from people, pets, and mowers. Hand water hot spots as identified by thin, crunchy, or folded grass blades.

If you live in Jacksonville, you know proper watering & regular mowing practices are critical to keep your lawn healthy and green.

Here are some basic tips to help you maintain your turf this fall and winter.

Water once each week as needed in periods without heavy rain. Each zone should run for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. The objective is to put out 3/4″ to 1″ of water per irrigation. Check our links for up to date weather and rainfall for your zip code. Proper watering is critical to keep your lawn healthy so adjust your irrigation with rainfall and fungus presence. Be sure to check coverage regularly because a uniform spray is very important. JEA offers free irrigation assessments for Jacksonville residents. If your lawn had dry or hot spots, then it may be necessary to hand water to account for any weakness in your irrigation system.

Proper mowing is the largest contribution a homeowner will make to a successful weed management program. Remember to mow high; 4″ lawns are always GREENER, prevent more weeds, and have stronger roots than 3″ lawns. Maintaining your lawn at 4″ will enhance our pre-emergent weed control applications, improve turf density, and shade necessary light from reaching the soil for weed germination. Trutco is the best lawn care service in Jacksonville because we have the best customers in Jacksonville. Working together is key to our success.
