• Post-Emergent: Use a selective herbicide to spot spray for weeds that are up and active in the lawn.
• Inspect Lawn for Turf Pests: Armyworms are occasional invaders of our turf grasses in late August depending on weather conditions. They travel in high numbers and do a lot of damage in a very short period of time. Early detection and action is the key to preventing damage.
Cool Season Turf: Fescue and Ryegrass
• Mowing: Cool season grasses are literally dying for some colder temperatures. Very little can be done to these grass types. Proper mowing will help keep these grass types alive until cooler weather arrives. Keep your mowing heights over 4” to maintain any color the cool season grass may have left. Never cut more than 1/3 of your grass blade on each cutting.
• Watering: In ideal conditions, your lawn needs 2” of precipitation during the growing season per week. It is best to have less frequent, heavy soakings. This can come from rainfall or other means of irrigation. Do NOT overwater. This can be more detrimental than of lack of precipitation.
• Fertilizer: No fertilizer needs to be applied.
