🍂 Don’t let your lawn go into winter hungry!

A healthy lawn isn’t built with just one fertilizer application—it takes a consistent fertilization program throughout the growing season.

And one of the most important applications is the fall winterizing fertilization. 🌱

As temperatures cool, your lawn is preparing for winter. The right nutrients at the right time can help:

🌿 Strengthen roots
💪 Improve winter stress tolerance
❄️ Prepare the lawn for cold weather
🌱 Support a healthier, quicker green-up next spring

Think of it as giving your lawn the nutrition it needs to finish the season strong and start next spring ahead of the game.

📅 Invest now. Enjoy later.

By late summer, weeks of heat, watering, mowing, and foot traffic can leave your soil compacted.

And compacted soil makes it harder for water, air, and nutrients to reach the roots.

That's where core aeration can help.

💧 Better water pe*******on
🌬️ More air around the roots
🌿 Better nutrient movement
🌱 More room for roots to grow

Late summer/early fall is a great time to help your lawn recover from the stresses of summer and prepare for fall growth.

👀 Seeing hard soil, runoff, thin areas, or grass that seems to struggle despite regular watering? Your lawn may be telling you it's time to aerate.

🍂 What’s Happening in Spokane Landscapes? — September Edition

September is a month of transition for our lawns and landscapes. Summer isn't quite behind us, but fall is right around the corner—and now is the time to start preparing.

Here are a few things we're watching this month:

🌱 Aeration
After a summer of foot traffic, mowing and repeated watering, soil can become compacted. Aeration helps improve the movement of water, air and nutrients into the root zone and gives your lawn better growing conditions going into fall.

🌿 Fall Fertilization
Don't overlook one of the most important lawn treatments of the year! A properly timed fall fertilizer application helps provide the nutrients your lawn needs as it prepares for winter and builds nutrient reserves that support a strong start next spring.

🌼 Fall W**d Control
Many perennial w**ds are preparing for winter by moving nutrients into their roots. Fall can be an excellent time to address these w**ds and help reduce what comes back next spring.

💧 Adjust Your Irrigation
Your lawn's water needs are changing as temperatures cool and days get shorter. Keep an eye on your soil and gradually adjust your watering rather than continuing a peak-summer schedule.

✂️ Keep Mowing
Don't put the mower away just yet! September can still bring plenty of lawn growth. Continue mowing as needed and maintain an appropriate height while your grass is actively growing.

🍂 Prepare for Fall Cleanup
Leaves will be arriving soon. Keeping your lawn and landscape beds clear as fall progresses helps keep your property healthy and ready for winter.

💧 And one important reminder...

October will be here before we know it!

If you have an irrigation system, now is the time to schedule your sprinkler blowout rather than waiting for the first freeze.

We'd much rather help you get on the schedule early than have you scrambling when freezing temperatures are in the forecast. 🍂

A little preparation now can make a big difference next spring.

🕵️ Lawn Detective: What’s Wrong With This Lawn?

A. Not enough water
B. Lawn disease
C. Insect damage
D. Too much fertilizer

🤔 What's your guess? Find out the answer below

⬇️

🔎 THE ANSWER: C — INSECT DAMAGE

In this case, the culprit is chinch bugs.

Chinch bugs are tiny insects that feed on grass by piercing the plant and sucking out its juices. They can also inject substances that interfere with the plant's ability to move water, which can leave sections of turf looking stressed, yellow, or straw-colored.

And here's what makes them tricky...

💧 Watering may not fix the problem.

If your irrigation is running properly but the affected areas continue to expand or worsen, it's worth considering whether insects are involved.

🐞 Signs to watch for:

• Irregular yellow, brown, or straw-colored patches
• Damage that continues to spread despite adequate watering
• Areas of turf that appear thin or stressed
• Damage that becomes more noticeable during hot, dry weather
• Chinch bugs or their tiny nymphs hiding near the base of the grass

🌱 Why are they worse during hot weather?

Chinch bugs thrive when conditions are warm and dry. Stressed turf also has a harder time recovering from feeding damage, which can make the problem look even worse.

💡 The Lawn Detective's takeaway:

Don't automatically assume brown grass needs more water.

Sometimes the irrigation is doing its job—but something else is damaging the grass.

That's why identifying the cause is just as important as treating the symptom.

🌿 Know Your W**ds - Purslane

Purslane is a warm-season w**d that thrives in the very conditions that can stress our lawns—heat, sun, drought, and compacted soil. Its thick, fleshy leaves allow it to store water, making this little plant surprisingly difficult to discourage once it gets established.

Purslane is actually edible and surprisingly nutritious, containing omega-3 fatty acids along with vitamins and minerals.

🔎 THE ANSWER: D — MOWING TOO SHORT

This lawn is a great example of what can happen when grass is cut too short, especially during hot, dry weather.

Grass needs enough leaf tissue to produce the energy it needs to grow. When we remove too much of the grass blade, we can put the lawn under additional stress.

🌱 Why does mowing too short cause problems?

• More sunlight reaches the soil, increasing evaporation.
• A stressed, thin lawn gives w**ds more opportunity to move in.
• Shorter grass is less able to handle heat and drought stress.
• A weakened lawn can also be more susceptible to pests and disease.

Try not to remove more than one-third of the grass blade at a time, and maintain the mowing height appropriate for your particular turf.

And remember—higher isn't always better either! The ideal mowing height depends on the type of grass, time of year, and growing conditions. The goal isn't simply to cut the grass. It's to maintain enough healthy leaf tissue to help the lawn thrive.

🐞 FRIEND OR FOE? — Hover Flies

Have you ever seen a little black-and-yellow insect hovering around your flowers and thought, "Is that a bee or a wasp?" 👀

It might actually be a Hover Fly—and that's good news for your landscape!

🟢 FRIEND!

Hover flies are harmless to people and pets, and they're valuable members of a healthy landscape.

🌸 Adults help pollinate flowers while feeding on nectar and pollen.

🐛 Their larvae are even more impressive! Many species feed on aphids and other soft-bodied pests that can damage your plants.

🔎 Here's the tricky part:
Hover flies have evolved to look like bees and wasps as a form of protection. But unlike those insects, hover flies have only one pair of wings.

🌿 Bug Bonus Fact:
Some hover flies can remain almost perfectly stationary in the air while flying—hence their name!

So the next time you see one hovering around your flowers, don't be so quick to swat it away. You may have one of nature's little pest-control helpers working in your yard. 🐞🌸

🌿 Know Your W**ds - Spotted Spurge

Spotted spurge loves hot, dry conditions and compacted soil, and it can spread quickly once it gets established. It's especially common in thin or stressed areas of turf and along sidewalks and driveways.

🔎 What to look for:
• Low-growing, spreading stems
• Small oval leaves with a distinctive dark spot
• Tiny yellow-green flowers
• Reddish stems

🌱 W**d Fact: Spotted spurge may be small, but it can produce thousands of seeds, allowing it to spread quickly when conditions are right.

The good news? A thick, healthy lawn is one of the best defenses against w**ds. Proper watering, fertilization, aeration, and timely w**d control can all help keep your lawn competitive.
