The past 10 days in our area have been absolutely beautiful. The record high temperatures that we experienced were an added bonus on top of having no more snow on the ground. I didn’t think we would have such a mild winter, just to be followed by an early spring. As we all know, that could change tomorrow, but I wouldn’t count on it at this rate. In fact, I plan on enjoying every “above average” day that we have coming ahead of us by working in the yard.

Fertilizing the lawn helps make it healthy
The best turf grass will perform only as well as the lawn-management practices it receives. Correct and timely fertilization contributes to a healthy yard. Fertilization is important because it improves turf grass density, color, and health. A healthy, properly fertilized, dense turf grass resists weed invasion and is able to better tolerate heat, cold, drought and wear.
